I second the first comment. All Canon 1D's are weather sealed.

It's an error at the top price list ... a canon 1d mark III couldn't cost just 890 € ... why are you making me so hopeful ...

1ds mark III is weathersealed, and it is safe to say has one of the best weathersealing in the market today.
Information can be found in Canon Usa website, 1ds mark III features section.
