Canon EOS 5D Mark III: Reviewed

The Canon EOS 5D Mark III is designed to present you with the ultimate in quality performance. Launched in early March 2012, this digital camera maintains the quality of its predecessor, the 5D Mark II, yet is equipped with even more enhanced features. To begin, you will notice that Mark III comes with a magnesium alloy body. Professionals who specialize in outdoor photography will be glad to know that the camera can survive even the most unfriendly environments. The EOS 5D Mark III and its accessories are water and dust resistant. The new comfortably designed grip also allows easy handling with less hand fatigue. Meanwhile, the camera's shutter is made with lightweight carbon-fiber blades that are able to be used for up to 150,000 cycles of up to 6.0 fps.
The camera features a full-frame 22.3 megapixel CMOS sensor for creating clear, detailed, high-resolution pictures. This product sports improved sensor sensitivity, which brings you the best EOS camera with the highest ISO and lowest noise. Apart from that, the EOS 5D Mark III also offers 14-bit digital signal processing that creates great images under a variety of lighting conditions. The camera has adjustable sensitivity from a minimum of ISO 50 (L) to the maximum of ISO 51200 (H1) and ISO 102400 (H2). Along with the expanded ISO range, Mark III also comes equipped with automatic ISO selection that is accessible through the ISO menu.
Similar to its predecessor, the EOS 5D Mark II, the latest version also features a Self Cleaning Sensor Unit. This enhanced feature allows the camera to provide you with better dust removal, hence clearer images. The camera prevents dust buildup by utilizing infrared absorbing/ultraviolet-blocking glass to remove particles stuck to the surface.
The camera's 3.2-inch TFT LCD screen comprises 1,040,000 dots and an anti-reflective surface. The monitor also utilizes Canon's Clear View II technology, which promises bright and sharp images and video in any situation. For easy image review, the monitor is accompanied by a Magnify/Reduce button. Zooming in or out your preferred image up to 10x cannot be easier than by pressing the button within the Main Dial.
When it comes to video recording, Canon EOS 5D Mark III also has such excellent performance that cannot be compared to a DSLR camera. The HD video recorder gives you both All-I and IPB compression, H.264/MPEG-4 AVC High Profile support, and automatic split (using FAT format) when you record video having a size of more than 4GB. You can also choose to record a single moment using the Rec Run mode, or accompany it with multi-camera shooting utilizing the Free Run mode. With enhanced sound adjustment of a 64-step volume control, you will be able to shoot with professional results.
