Canon EOS 5D Mark III Review, Price and Release Date

Canon EOS 5D Mark III the successor to the EOS 5D Mk II boasts a newly designed Canon CMOS sensor, with ISO range of 100 to 25600 for shooting in close to dark conditions. The new DIGIC 5+ processor combines with the improved CMOS sensor to deliver medium format territory image quality at up to 6.0 frames per second with exceptional clarity and sharpness, even when capturing rapidly-unfolding scenes.

Canon EOS 5D Mark III: What's in it?

How does one follow a classic? that is the question Canon faced when it need to work manufacturing a successor to the EOS 5D MK II. The first 5D was the primary 'affordable' and light-weight (in relative terms) full frame digital camera, and set a customary for low noise at high ISO settings that is still competitive 3 years later. The Canon EOS 5D Mark III is likely fills the gap between its predecessor the Mk II and Canon EOS-1D X, so actually the Canon EOS 5D Mark III is not the replacement to the Mk II.

The EOS 5D Mark III not only offers 14-bit signal processing for excellent image gradation, it delivers higher standard and expanded ISOs, and a score of new options to enhance shooting in varied and fast-changing lighting situations. With a standard range of ISO 100–25600, the EOS 5D Mark III represents a 2-stop increase in sensitivity over previous cameras. Thanks to the improved signal-to-noise ratio of the new sensor and powerful noise reduction, the EOS 5D Mark III can shoot at expanded sensitivities down to ISO 50 (L) and up to 51200 (H1), and even 102400 (H2)! Beyond the obvious advantages of its wide ISO range, the EOS 5D Mark III has automatic ISO settings, found on the dedicated ISO menu. Minimum and maximum ISO settings can be specified, as can a user-defined range, plus full auto and manual.

the Canon EOS 5D Mark III captures HD video with a level of sophistication on par with professional movie cameras offering phenomenal performance on a DSLR. It offers both All-I and IPB compression, supports H.264/MPEG-4 AVC High Profile, and automatically splits files greater than 4GB (FAT specifications) for extended recording without interruption. It offers the option of timecoding during recording only (Rec Run) or at all times (Free Run), useful for multi-camera shoots. It also features improved sound recording adjustment capabilities, offering 64-step volume control accessible through the Quick Control screen during video shooting, plus a dedicated headphone jack for convenience in shooting. The CMOS sensor's new drive system significantly increases image processor performance, reducing color artifacts and moiré (a common problem that occurs in scenes with horizontal lines), and ensures that the EOS 5D Mark III can record at a number of frame rates up to ISO 25600 in H mode.

The newly designed 61-Point High Density Reticular AF features an Offset Array Sensor (with staggering AF point arrangement) to deliver greater accuracy, no matter the situation. It offers multi-zone wide-area AF for better tracking, has 5 central dual cross-type points (f/2.8 diagonal), 21 central cross-type points (f/5.6 horizontal & vertical) and 20 outer cross-type points (f/4.0 horizontal), and is sensitive in extremely low-light situations (EV-2 for a central point with a f/2.8 lens).

The EOS 5D Mark III has a dedicated AF menu tab, so AF can be controlled without having to go through custom function menus. It also has 6 AF point selection methods (Spot, Single Point, Single + Adjacent 4 Points, Single + Adjacent 8 Points, Zone Selection, and Automatic AF Point Selection), plus a dedicated AF configuration tool for control of AI Servo AF III tracking parameters (tracking sensitivity, acceleration/deceleration tracking, and AF point auto switching).

Canon EOS 5D Mark III: Consumer's Review

I completely drooled the instant I received this Canon EOS 5D Mark III digital camera. I purchased the Canon 5D Mark III with lens kit 24-105mm. For a moment i have been debating whether or not obtain|to shop for} the body ($2500) in conjunction with the 24-70L ($1400) for a complete of $3900 or buy this bundled kit for $3300. before my purchase, I rented a 5D Mark II with each lens and realized that IQ (image quality) via raw was completely an equivalent when blown up. Of course, you'll need higher blessings in low light-weight settings with the 24-70, however with the amazingly high ISO handling of the 5D, it did not build a drastic distinction to be price $600 for that matter whereas I might have invested it towards my next purchase 70-200mm F/2.8. Also, another huge issue I had with the 24-70 was the burden. Having transitioned from the T2i, the 5D looked like a giant significant rock particularly when adding on the 24-105 lens. With the 24-70 being ~ one lb heavier, I felt the additional weight was extremely aiming to drag my satisfaction of this product away. Thus, with the additional 105mm reach, light-weight weight (compared to 24-70) and IS, Canon EOS 5D Mark III is a superb deal.
