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)
Vastly improved AF module, Addition of 'headphones in' socket, Enhanced ISO range/performance, Faster DIGIC 5processor, Built like a tank, Exceptional image quality, Fantastic video performance

Super fast and accurate 61 point AF system, Upgraded iFCL metering system better captures off-center subjects, Great low light opportunities thanks to expanded ISO range
Noise can get pretty noticeable in the higher end of the ISO range, AF system is complicated and has a steep learning curve

We found in our Canon 5D Mark III that the camera remains an excellent all-rounder that captures enough detail to make good sized prints without generating too much noise for it to be used in low light conditions. It's also an excellent video camera that...
