The editors liked
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
Excellent HDR mode
Detailed raw and JPG files
High quality images
Low noise
Improved AF performance. Excellent image quality. Headphone monitoring. Improved video quality with low moire and artefacts. Excellent high ISO performance
The editors didn't like
The JPEG noise reduction is ridiculously aggressive for a camera of this standard
Complicated AF system
A bit pricey
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
Abstract: There is nothing in photography and serious video that the Canon 5D Mark III can't handle. I have personally never liked the physical form factor of the full-size Canon camera bodies, but the 5D Mark III has slight shutter button angle, control button...
Manual audio gain control, Headphone jack, Superb lowlight performance, 30minute maximum record time, Improved rolling shutter
No uncompressed video out, Sluggish autofocus in liveview mode
Superb imaging and fleshed out audio control makes the 5D Mark III a worthy successor to the camera that forever changed the landscape of video production.Canon Inc. ...
Abstract: Let's compare the sharpness of Canon's two top cameras of 2012: the 22MP versus the 18 MP . These are crops taken from the center of these images, each shot with the at ISO 100 and f/5.6. On most computer......
Abstract: The Canon EOS 5D Mark III is the worthy replacement of the Canon EOS 5D Mark II, the full-frame DSLR that changed everything. The 5D Mark II was a phenomenal success when it was released back in 2008 and the camera is still one of the top contenders to th...

Abstract: Video Review: The Canon 5D Mark III is both a professional still camera and video camera with 22 megapixels, a "full frame" sensor and can shoot cinema quality 1080p video at 24 fps. Chris Hardwick and Matt Mira review the $3,500 DSLR for Gadget Pr0n....
Excellent photo/video quality, Excellent build quality, Advanced 61 point AF system
Best image quality from Raw (vs. JPEG), Overly aggressive noise reduction, Monaural onboard microphone
On paper, the Canon 5D Mark III may not seem like a huge step up from the 5D Mark II especially given all the rumors (and long-time anticipation) surrounding its release. In some ways, the Mark III on the surface doesn't dazzle with additional bells and...

Improved overall image quality, better HD video quality and more robust feature set, more comfortable and durable, weatherresistant camera build, faster 6 fps burst speed, vastly improved autofocus system
Only slightly more resolution than fouryearold previous model, starting price nearly $1,000 higher than predecessor, builtin mic only offers mono sound, Price: $3,499, www.usa.canon.com
Canon fans looking for “the next big thing” with the 22.3-megapixel 5D Mark III might have been disappointed after seeing its feature set which, on face value, seems only a modest improvement over the groundbreaking 5D Mark II from 2008. Meanwhile, photog...
