Canon EOS 5D Mark III

The perfect camera as in the camera is a tool: you need your tool to work as you expect and want it to. The 5DIII is perfect for this, in the 5 or 6 weeks I've had it I haven't noticed a single tiny thing wrong with it, or any little thing that might bug me. The 5DIII followed 6 weeks of frustrating D600 use (the infamous sensor spot problem, but also live-view issues as well as a range of other niggling stuff). What was interesting about the comparison between them is how the 5DIII is ...

A significant upgrade to the 5DII in everything but low/medium ISO image quality Well made, well thought out, fast in use, great screen and features

I always use Canon and believe any camera if good if the photographer knows it's disadvantages and accordingly works with it. Saying that 5D Mark III is a good camera with features that a professional would love to have. Coming straight to point this camera has a whopping 61 AF points a significant upgrade from 5D Mark II. This is important for me as a sports and wedding photographer. With 9 point AF I felt handicapped, with this one I have more flexibility now. somehow I started to feel that ...

Everything about the camera and the photos it produces are swell. Great upgrade from the 5D MKII. Images are better and that is what counts. One nagging problem though. Problems: My one complaint, which I am growing past, is the fact that the focus point during the AF process does not illuminate red like on the 5D MKII. I knew this when buying the camera, so its expected, but I wish Canon would remedy it. My guess is that since they moved to a crystal view finder overlay, it isn't possible. ...

general use of Camera Problems: nothing so far

I have feeling I dot defected camera, I got my 5d mark lll new in the mail 4 days ago, and from very beginning in preview mode it will freeze on me when press auto focus ore try to take a picture, and even if I turn power off, the image still stays frozen in the display! I had to take buttery out to reset the camera. Somehow after that it started to work for about a day, and then did the sane freezing action on me, and now it's not responding to anything at all. Taking it to canon for ...

I was waiting a long time for this one. I’m absolutely not disappointed. Great camera in any way. Considering the price/size/performance ratio, this is the one ! Just missing a small integrated flash...

After upgrading from EOS 60D, the extra $ i had to pay weren't in vain. This camera is a monster from the very first shot, and deffinetely worth the cash (If you can afford it). Image sharpness, shutter speed, easy to use functions, and overall quality of pictures is superb. I will deffinetely be using this camera for years to come. However, a good EF lens is highly recommended but you will for sure feel the pinch in your pocket. I would recommend any lense with F/2.8L. Problems: Got the ...

Love it this is a wicked camera save up and buy it you won't be let down

I received my Canon EOS 5D Mark III a couple of days ago and my first impressions of the camera were very good .The improved grip and the vertical grip appear to very well meshed together better than the Canon EOS 5D Mark II .The placement of the battery compartment is very similar to the placement of the 1D series cameras. The image quality is great even at high iso's .The shutter sound view finder are great up grades along with the focusing.Thanks Canon for listening. Problems: None yet.
