The editors didn't like
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
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
Complicated AF system
A bit pricey
JPEG photos at low ISO sensitivities don't match the generally excellent level of quality that you can otherwise get out of this camera
Only slightly more resolution than fouryearold previous model
Abstract: Some cameras seem just destined for glory and the EOS 5D Mark II was one of them. It was hugely popular with still photographers, but arguably made even more impact on the video world where it was seemingly the only D-SLR any self-respecting cinematograph...
This is a wonderful camera. If you have Canon lenses and want to move into the blissful realm of full-frame capture, then the 5D MkIII is for you. But the MkII is just as good for stills and costs $1600 less. If you already have a 5D MkII (as we do), the...

What is there not to like about a responsive camera that produces technically stunning images (in RAW) time after time? The faster burst rate and the wider bracketing options are welcome. To be able to capture clean images at outrageously high ISO speeds
The JPEG noise reduction is ridiculously aggressive for a camera of this standard

As with the MkII, the MkIII delivers excellent (if not the best) price/performance ratio of any camera in Canon's range, which explains why so many pros have them as back-ups or full-frame alternatives for their 1D.Many, especially wedding and portrait ph...
Improved AF performance. Excellent image quality. Headphone monitoring. Improved video quality with low moire and artefacts. Excellent high ISO performance
Repositioned buttons may annoy Mark II upgraders. No clean HDMI output. Video and images straight from camera can benefit from a small amount of sharpening
Packed full of improvements for photographers, Canon has proved that you can improve on an already-strong formula with the 5D Mark III....
Abstract: Because the Mark II still has plenty to offer to both serious enthusiasts and professional photographers, it will remain on sale, at a reduced price of AUD$2799 for the body or AUD$3899 for the Premium kit with the 24-105mm lens, as we reviewed. As such, ...
Excellent HDR mode, Detailed raw and JPG files, High quality images, Low noise
Complicated AF system, A bit pricey
Buying Guide Best DSLR: top cameras by price and brand While the key specification changes since the 5D Mark II largely just bring the Canon EOS 5D Mark III into line with Canon's existing DSLRs, we're impressed with the results from the new camera. Raw a...
Abstract: Build and Ergonomics Canon says the new camera represents a complete redesign but, physically, there's not a huge difference between the EOS 5D Mark III and EOS 5D Mark II, although the Mark III is slightly larger and heavier. The table below compares key...
Abstract: As impressive as its specifications are, in actual use, the Canon EOS 5D Mark III is simply put a superlative full frame camera whose ease of use belies its dazzling array of features.Like the top of the range EOS 1D X, the 22.3 megapixel Mark III spor...
