Review: Canon EOS 5D Mark III
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 (High Dynamic Range) feature combines three shots into one image with better exposure
- "Silent" shooting mode helps capture stealthy candid portraits
- Rank photos in-camera with one to five stars, then carry those ratings over to Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Bridge and Apple Aperture.
Cons:
- Only slightly more resolution than four-year-old previous model
- Starting price nearly ,000 higher than predecessor
- Built-in mic only offers mono sound

Should I buy Canon 6d or 5d MK iii

Great Pro Camera
I use this camera for a variety of types of professional photography - weddings, newborns, children, and even births. The ISO handling is good for low light situations. Not amazing, but it works. The focusing system is amazing.
Pros:
- Focus System
- HD Video
- Live View Mode
Cons:
- Little detail in shadows at high ISO

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

The Canon EOS 5D Mark III is not only a very capable photographic tool in almost all areas, it's also fun and exciting to shoot with. Slight JPEG softness is disappointing in a camera at this level but it's only visible at pixel-level and we would expect most of the camera's target group to shoot...
Pros:
- Good resolution and detail in raw files
- Good color and tonality across the ISO range
- Reliable metering even in difficult contrast situations
- Very responsive and snappy operation
- thanks to new Digic 5+ processor
- 6 frames per second continuous shooting with good buffering
- Excellent build-quality...
Cons:
- Destructive noise reduction results in mushy JPEGs
- even at base ISO
- Visible sharpening artifacts at default settings
- Heavy-handed noise reduction leads to lack of low-contrast detail at higher ISOs
- Distortion correction not available 'on the fly
- Built-in microphone only monaural
- Soft video...
