Canon EOS 5D Mark III review: Serious piece of kit, but comes at a serious price

Not everyone will be able to afford a 5D Mark III, but if you're serious about movie making on a budget then this is a serious piece of kit via which to do it Not a camcorder, but included because Digital SLRs have really taken off the past couple of years as primary tools for ‘videographers'.
Pros:
  • Setting a new benchmark for amateur and independent film makers
  • affordable alternative to pro broadcast cameras
  • rock solid workhorse-like build
Cons:
  • Pricey if you don't require broadcast quality video
  • slight delay whilst mirror mechanism flips out of the way before video recording can commence
  • clip duration limited to just under 30 minutes as it's a camera not a camcorder

5D owners may well have felt that the MkII didn't really do enough to grab their attention because it didn't address enough of its older sibling's deficiencies. The increased resolution was attractive, but again not enough on its own.

[REVIEW-CANON EOS 5DMkIII DSLR]

This 22 megapixel full frame camera is the upgrade of the revered MkII. While there are not many extra pixels the processor, ISO range, burst rate, viewfinder coverage and LCD have all been improved. Auto focus is now by 61 points instead of 9.

Canon really hit the Mark with the M III.

Where to begin? The body is gripped and set-up for user friendly shooting. Non-slip grip and really accessible for right hand control of almost all necessary shooting features. Quick shift of focus points is at your index and thumb and don't require several up and downs away from your subject.
Pros:
  • Totally different camera from the Mark II
  • Just AMAZING!!! I loved my Mark II before I shot this camera.
Cons:
  • There is no down side
  • I have been shooting high ISO for fun to find fault and can't

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

Canon's EOS 5D Mark III has a lot to live up to. For a start, the original Canon EOS 5D was the first DSLR to really bring full-frame digital photography within the reach of enthusiast photographers.

  • Extraordinary low-light capability
  • Healthy 6 fps burst rate
