Hey there photo nerds. We’re all in this together and today Canon just added more fuel to the HdDSLR fire – the much-anticipated Canon 5D MK III is here. They made some interesting choices on pixel count, recording modes, etc. So let’s review the skinny of it all.
Here’s some highlighted specs:
_22.3MP Full-Frame CMOS Sensor
_3.2″ Clear View High Resolution LCD
_DIGIC 5+ Image Processor
_61-Point High Density AF
_Full HD 1080/30p and 720/60p Formats
_Built-In HDR and Multiple Exposure Modes
_Extended ISO Range (50-102400)
_Up to 6.0 FPS Continuous Still Mode Shooting
_Dual CF and SD Memory Card Slots
_Magnesium-Alloy Construction
The curve balls for the people I’m talking to? The no 1080 at 60p. Please note I HAVE NOT touched one of these cameras – unlike Nikon, Canon doesn’t trust me with a 10-foot pole and I get no advance copies of these cameras.
The look? She’s small and sleek. Click thru a range of images of the camera via the above tabs.
Now, not unlike what I’ve done with the recent launch of the Nikon D800 and Nikon D4…rather than me spouting off about having played with the system or telling you what your feelings about this system should be, I’m turning the tables back to you. What’s your take? Love, hate, indifferent? Insights? I know that Canon folks, including, ahem, Chuck Westfall read this blog, so your comments on this post – glowing or otherwise – might help inform Canon and the rest of the camera manufacturers about what your thinking…

I will sell my left eye for the new Canon 5D Mark III and i will give both big toes for the 1D X the Nikon Killer
As a Zeiss+5dmk2 user this doesnt excite me much… the focusing screen can not be swapped, only with unofficial 3rd party screens. The autofocus isnt usefull for me since zeiss stuff is Manual.
the ISO performance is the only thing that is interesting for me right now and that is not worth 3499 euro’s.
I think that if I had a lot of AF gear I would be more excited.
pierdolcie się jebani frajeży…możecie obciągnąć patyka,bo zaden z was kutasy nie umi 🙂 pstrykać
I too have had my fingers crossed for the 1080P and now know I will have to wait far too long before I can expect it from Canon. I wanted to ask, Does any decent DSLR manufacture offer a model that supports 1080P at 60P or perhaps a even comparable priced Video Camera? I’ve tried doing a little bit of research but simply don’t have the time to suss out what would be a good purchase before buying the first thing i find. Any comments from anyone would be helpful.
I like the specs! Hopefully after a couple of months the price will go down.
