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)
Abstract: We just finished this video shot solely on the Canon 5D Mark III. Originally, we were going to use the Sony EX3 or Panasonic HPX250, both which work very well in a conference setting where portability and a versatile lens are required. However, this time...
Abstract: There is nothing in photography and serious video that the Canon 5D Mark III can't handle. I have personally never liked the physical form factor of the full-size Canon camera bodies, but the 5D Mark III has slight shutter button angle, control button...
Manual audio gain control, Headphone jack, Superb lowlight performance, 30minute maximum record time, Improved rolling shutter
No uncompressed video out, Sluggish autofocus in liveview mode
Superb imaging and fleshed out audio control makes the 5D Mark III a worthy successor to the camera that forever changed the landscape of video production.Canon Inc. ...

Abstract: The Canon EOS 5D Mark III is the worthy replacement of the Canon EOS 5D Mark II, the full-frame DSLR that changed everything. The 5D Mark II was a phenomenal success when it was released back in 2008 and the camera is still one of the top contenders to th...

Abstract: Video Review: The Canon 5D Mark III is both a professional still camera and video camera with 22 megapixels, a "full frame" sensor and can shoot cinema quality 1080p video at 24 fps. Chris Hardwick and Matt Mira review the $3,500 DSLR for Gadget Pr0n....
Excellent photo/video quality, Excellent build quality, Advanced 61 point AF system
Best image quality from Raw (vs. JPEG), Overly aggressive noise reduction, Monaural onboard microphone
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...
