Excellent camera

Overall, there was really more useful improvements on this camera. Whether you are a new canon user or current fan and want to upgrade, this is it - you will not regret if you choose this unit. Hope this review helps a bit in your buying decision.
Pros:
  • This camera works better in higher ISOs and you really notice the difference from the previous model
  • specially if you are a current user like me of the 5D MKII I notice an improved focus performance when im shooting in video Some improvements came from the Canon 1DX model I love the rate button...
Cons:
  • There should be a swivel screen which is helpful if your shooting at lower angles

Superb ISO Performance

The first thing I tested was the 61 points focusing system. Some said it is not any better than 7D 19 points focusing system, I would say that they are wrong! I own a 7D, and I did side by side test, 5D Mark III is certainly better and faster than 7D.
Pros:
  • Easy To Use
  • Fast / Accurate Auto-Focus
  • Fast Shutter Speed
  • Good Image Quality
  • High ISO Performance
  • Large Clear LCD
  • Quiet
  • Strong build
Cons:
  • No Build-in Flash Trigger
  • Poor focus in low light

Amazing Camera

The black autofocus points problem is supposed to be fixed in a future firmware release, basically they flash black instead of red which is hard (impossible) to see in low light.
Pros:
  • Fast / Accurate Auto-Focus
  • High ISO Performance
  • Quiet
Cons:
  • Black Autofocus Points

Like many, my positive experience with the mark 3 so far is in part due to some of the shortfalls felt by cameras like the 5D mark 2 or the 7D. Both the 5D2 and the 7D had their shortfalls. I feel the 5D3 is much like a merger of the positive sides of both of these cameras.

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

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

Basically the same camera as the ID X for 4K less!

So many similarities with Canon 1d X in terms of sensor and video codec, that buyers of the Canon ID X are going to feel overcharged by Canon once again. Owning both I can say there are a few things I miss on the 5d III.
