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)
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
Capturing video at 1920x1080 pixels and 29.97 frames per second, admittedly shooting with a DSLR isn't quite as smooth or straightforward from the get go as on a regular camcorder or even compact system camera. This is because recording begins after the i...
Abstract: The Canon EOS 5D MkIII is the latest high quality, full-frame Canon DSLR. The first 5D still holds its own in terms of image quality, so its younger sibling must be something very special...
Stills are beautiful, capable of producing superb video, lightning-fast auto-focus, rapid shooting, solidly built
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
A brilliant camera that offers both superb stills and fantastic video. It's ideal for people looking to get a video-capable SLR, but owners of the 5D II might want to keep their existing gear and wait for the next update. ...
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
The Canon EOS 5D Mark III represents a significant advance over its predecessor. It's fast, flexible and can't be faulted on image or video quality. It's a well-specced piece of kit at a reasonable cost (the price below is for the body only). The Mark ...

IntroductionThe Canon 5D Mark III is a DSLR camera that has the ability to appeal to filmmakers just as much as it does photographers. The camera took stellar photos in our still image tests, but it also excelled in our video labs. We're not joking when w...
It was always going to be a challenge to replace the EOS 5D Mark II. Thankfully, Canon has been sensible with its upgrade, choosing to focus on improving its weaker areas. So, while the resolution is largely unchanged in the 5D Mark III, the sensors low-...
Abstract: The recently announced Canon EOS 5D Mark III steps up as the long-awaited successor to the Canon 5D Mark II . Like the Mark II before it, the Mark III is a full-frame professional camera targeting photographers and videographers. In a year already crowded...
