Canon EOS 5D Mark III review: Canon EOS 5D Mark III
While it's not a no-brainer upgrade over the Mark II, the Canon EOS 5D Mark III is worth the price premium if better performance and configurability matter to you. On the 25th anniversary of its EOS system, Canon finally announced the long-awaited update to its full-frame 5D Mark II dSLR. The 5D Mark III is packed with capabilities for both still and video shooters, but at a much steeper price. As you'd expect, the 5DM3 consists of a combination of technologies, features, and design updates rolled out in the EOS 7D and the more recent 1D X. The result is a camera that looks similar to its predecessor with a lot more capabilities and better performance, but isn't as different when it comes to the basics -- photo and video quality -- as you'd expect. Of course, the 5D Mark II is pretty great in those respects, so no drastic change isn't necessarily a bad thing.- The Canon EOS 5D Mark III offers a more streamlined shooting design, significantly updated feature set with more configurability, plus better performance over its predecessor
- It maintains its excellent photo and video quality as well.
- JPEG photos at low ISO sensitivities don't match the generally excellent level of quality that you can otherwise get out of this camera.
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...- Excellent photo/video quality
- Excellent build quality
- Advanced 61 point AF system
- 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...
- 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...
- 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...

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'.- Setting a new benchmark for amateur and independent film makers
- affordable alternative to pro broadcast cameras
- rock solid workhorse-like build
- 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.
