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: The Canon EOS 5D Mark II changed the landscape of digital photography. No longer are digital still and video two separate worlds, shot with two distinctly different systems. Now users can decide whether to shoot stills or video (or both) on the spot, ...

Destructive noise reduction results in mushy JPEGs, even at base ISO, Visible sharpening artifacts at default settings, Heavy-handed noise reduction leads to lack of low-contrast detail at higher ISOs, Distortion correction not available 'on the fly', Built-in microphone only monaural, Soft video output with less dynamic range than stills, No built-in AF illuminator,
Since the launch of the original EOS 5D in 2005 Canon's 5D series has become extremely popular with enthusiast photographers and for many has been the gateway to the world of 'full-frame' photography. Unsurprisingly, more than 3 years after the launch...
The 5D Mark III is an improvement on the Mark II in almost every way.While not a radical overhaul or a dramatic leap in technology, the Mark III shores up most of the gaps in the Mark II's performance profile, offering the benefit of faster shot-to-shot t...
Abstract: While I am always as guilty as most to not reading the %^&*(“! manual not so here as this unit stretches me as I would call it a semi-professional model and that is almost beyond me, but I do enjoy the challenge.The new lens sent with the unit is rather n...

While it may not have excited the photographic world in the same way that the Nikon D800 seems to have, the Canon EOS 5D Mark III is a very capable camera. It suffers a little from the fact that the majority of the systems have been seen elsewhere in the...
Abstract: I'm often asked the not unreasonable question, “So which is the best camera?” to which my answer recently has been one stolen from professional photographic lore: “The best camera is the one you have with you when a great picture presents itself.” I was ...
Setting a new benchmark for amateur and independent film makers, affordable alternative to pro broadcast cameras, rock solid workhorse-like build
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
Capturing video at 1920x1080 pixels and 29.97 frames per second, admittedly shooting with a DSLR isn't quite as smooth or straightforward from the get go as on a regular camcorder or even compact system camera. This is because recording begins after the i...
