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
The advancement in AF system is undoubtedly the best thing about the Mark III, the noise performance is really good too, along with great features like auto sharpening of images. Overall the Canon EOS 5D Mark III's JPEG output across the ISO range offers ...
Weatherproof Sturdy built, Better ISO range, Improved AF module, Inbuilt Noise Reduction, Outstanding Image & Video quality, DIGIC 5processorEnhanced performance
Popup flash missing, Slightly over priced, Does not support EFS lenses
As mentioned above, Canon 5D Mark III delivers great performance as well as good configurability; but with competition like Nikon D800 in the market, this one from Canon seems a little overpriced. Still, even with a price tag of Rs.211455 (body only) 5D M...
Amazing AF system, Good high ISO still and video performance, lighter body with weather sealing, Silent jog dial for uninterrupted audio recording
Quite pricey compared to the camera it replaces and competes with, Noise in video is quite unpleasant (above ISO 8000 in low light)
Superficially, one could say there isn't much of a difference between the predecessor and what succeeds it. Even the pixel count is a meager jump. So why would you want to pay such a significantly higher price for the Mark III? What we have here is a foc...

First and foremost, the 5D Mark III takes beautiful photos, and improves on a camera that was already fantastic. The small changes on its body make the Mark III even more comfortable to use, while the tweaks made to button placement and the layout of its
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
You should! Yeah, the Mark II is still a killer deal, but the 5D Mark III is better. Thats all there is to it. The refinements just make it a vastly better tool for photographers and videographers. The autofocus system alone is enough to justify choosin...
Abstract: After more than a two-year wait (since the 5D Mark II was released), Canon finally revealed the highly-anticipated EOS 5D Mark III at a press launch today, along with a few other new accessories. Sporting a 22.3-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor, the ne...
Greatly improved autofocus; excellent high ISO performance.
Redesigned controls may take some getting used to.
It may not look like it from the base specifications alone, but the EOS 5D Mark III is a great improvement over its predecessor in every way that counts - autofocus, exposure and ISO have all had the benefit of the technological improvements Canon has...
