The editors didn't like
Given how popular the 5D Mark II became in the videography community
We'd have liked to have seen the Mark III's video capabilities improved a bit more. The addition of a dedicated XLR microphone jack is probably a pipe dream
But a 60P mode at 1920x1080
Popup flash missing
Slightly over priced
Does not support EFS lenses
Quite pricey compared to the camera it replaces and competes with
Noise in video is quite unpleasant (above ISO 8000 in low light)
The advancement in AF system is undoubtedly the best thing about the Mark III, the noise performance is really good too, along with great features like auto sharpening of images. Overall the Canon EOS 5D Mark III's JPEG output across the ISO range offers ...

As mentioned above, Canon 5D Mark III delivers great performance as well as good configurability; but with competition like Nikon D800 in the market, this one from Canon seems a little overpriced. Still, even with a price tag of Rs.211455 (body only) 5D M...

Superficially, one could say there isn't much of a difference between the predecessor and what succeeds it. Even the pixel count is a meager jump. So why would you want to pay such a significantly higher price for the Mark III? What we have here is a foc...

Abstract: Canon and Nikon both have brand new professional DLSR cameras fighting for the wallets of photographers and videographers the world over. We recently reviewed the Canon 5D Mark III, and are whipping up a review of the Nikon D800. In the meantime, we put t...

You should! Yeah, the Mark II is still a killer deal, but the 5D Mark III is better. Thats all there is to it. The refinements just make it a vastly better tool for photographers and videographers. The autofocus system alone is enough to justify choosin...
Abstract: After more than a two-year wait (since the 5D Mark II was released), Canon finally revealed the highly-anticipated EOS 5D Mark III at a press launch today, along with a few other new accessories. Sporting a 22.3-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor, the ne...
The 5D Mark III is an improvement on the Mark II in almost every way.While not a radical overhaul or a dramatic leap in technology, the Mark III shores up most of the gaps in the Mark II's performance profile, offering the benefit of faster shot-to-shot t...
Abstract: While I am always as guilty as most to not reading the %^&*(“! manual not so here as this unit stretches me as I would call it a semi-professional model and that is almost beyond me, but I do enjoy the challenge.The new lens sent with the unit is rather n...
Excellent HDR mode, Detailed raw and JPG files, High quality images, Low noise
Complicated AF system, A bit pricey
While it may not have excited the photographic world in the same way that the Nikon D800 seems to have, the Canon EOS 5D Mark III is a very capable camera. It suffers a little from the fact that the majority of the systems have been seen elsewhere in the...
Abstract: 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.” I was ...
