Canon EOS 5D Mark III

It's more about evolution and innovation (as opposed to revolution) in the digital SLR realm right now. Like the American Idol effect on singers to the untrained ear, the clarity and performance that photographers expect from the soon-to-be-legendary Canon EOS 5D Mark III has to live up to the hype.
Pros:
  • Speed
  • features
  • accuracy
  • video

Great Camera Poor Shipping

I would not buy a lens from Newegg because of this exact issue, I am not alone here with the shipping issues, and why they don't correct it is beyond me, or its just the old way to save a dollar and just take back what breaks, in my option how much more does it cost to use the correct size box and...
Pros:
  • This camera is the best performing 5D currently
  • It will do anything you need as long as you know what you are doing
  • I needed a full frame camera as my business has grown and my 50D was aging.
Cons:
  • The reason for the 1 egg, is because shipping
  • I received the box that was 4 times the size of the product
  • When I picked it up the product inside the box slide till it hit the sidewall.

Canon EOS 5D Mark III review

The 22.3-megapixel Canon EOS 5D Mark III captured some of the cleanest images I've seen from a DSLR when shooting in low light at high ISOs. That's no small feat. Cameras such as the 5D Mark III's predecessor -- the 5D Mark II -- and the 16.2MP Nikon D4 , are designed as low-light assassins, with...
Pros:
  • In-camera HDR
  • "Silent" shooting mode
  • Rank photos in-camera with one to five stars
  • 61-point (41-cross-type-point) autofocus
Cons:
  • Only slightly more resolution than four-year-old previous model
  • Starting price much higher than predecessor
  • Built-in mic only offers mono sound

Canon EOS 5D MK III

After Nikon's D90, it felt like the crown of video would go to that firm. But, surprisingly, it was Canon that swooped in, and hoovered up the newly established video-from-SLR market.
Pros:
  • Stills are beautiful
  • capable of producing superb video
  • lightning-fast auto-focus
  • rapid shooting
  • solidly built
Cons:
  • No "clean" HDMI output
  • buttons to control camera settings take some getting used to
  • we'd love to see some more high frame-rate modes

  • Silent shooting
  • Auto focus
  • Menu
  • Button Layout
  • Low light
  • New video codec
Cons:
  • 6 fps too slow for sports
  • The zoom button location

Canon EOS 5D Mark III Review: Going Pro

On paper, the Canon 5D Mark III may not seem like a huge step up from the 5D Mark II especially given all the rumors (and long-time anticipation) surrounding its release. In some ways, the Mark III on the surface doesn't dazzle with additional bells and whistles or even any huge leap forward in...
Pros:
  • Excellent photo/video quality
  • Excellent build quality
  • Advanced 61 point AF system
Cons:
  • Best image quality from Raw (vs
  • JPEG, Overly aggressive noise reduction, Monaural on-board microphone

I'm often asked the not unreasonable question, "So which is the best camera?" to which my answer recently has been one stolen from professional photographic lore: "The best camera is the one you have with you when a great picture presents itself.
