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-...

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...
