Long product name Canon EOS 5D Mark III SLR Camera Body 22.3 MP CMOS 5760 x 3840 pixels Black :
EOS 5D Mark III, 22.3MP, 36 x 24mm CMOS, ISO 100 - 25600, 14-bits DIGIC 5+, 3.2" Clear View II TFT, CF + SDXC, Mini-HDMI, USB 2.0
Canon EOS 5D Mark III SLR Camera Body 22.3 MP CMOS 5760 x 3840 pixels Black :
EOS 5D Mark III is generated by a full-frame 22.3-megapixel CMOS sensor that can shoot up to 6 frames per second (fps). Powered by Canon's state-of-the-art DIGIC 5+ image processor, the EOS 5D MARK III is capable of incredible ISO speeds of up to 25600 (expandable to 102400). A newly expanded 61-point Auto-Focus (AF) system makes it easier to track subjects with higher levels of precision and speeds.

22.3-megapixel sensor
High resolution 22.3-megapixel images of superb quality and detail are attained from Canon's cutting-edge full-frame CMOS sensor technology. New photodiode construction, gapless microlens array and on-chip noise reduction circuitry on the CMOS keep image data clean and clear even at high ISO settings and long exposures, so your photographic vision is never compromised.

61-point high-density reticular AF
The EOS 5D Mark III features a next-generation Auto Focus (AF) system sporting 61 point high-density reticular AF (41 cross-type points) that offers wide, auto focus coverage at high precision as well as enhanced subject tracking capability.

It offers multi-zone wide-area AF for better tracking, has 5 central dual cross-type points (f/2.8 diagonal), 21 central cross-type points (f/5.6 horizontal & vertical) and 20 outer cross-type points (f/4.0 horizontal) and is sensitive in extremely low-light situations (EV-2 for a central point with a f/2.8 lens).

The technological advancement in the EOS 5D Mark III dramatically expands focusing accuracy to support a larger range of f/4.0 and f/5.6 lenses.

ISO expandable to 102400
No matter your exposure requirements, the EOS 5D Mark III allows flexible ISO speed settings of ISO 100 – 25600 and expandable to L: ISO50, H1: 51200 and H2: 102400 to adjust the camera's sensitivity to light. From low light indoor environments to the great outdoors in broad daylight, the EOS 5D Mark III captures every picture in the best possible light.

Advertisement, Advertisement, 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 drea...
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 choosing...

The top deck includes a Mode dial with the Auto+ mode, combined from the Creative Auto and Green Zone modes on the 5D Mark II. The 5D Mark III's power switch juts out from beneath this dial, as it does from the Canon 7D as well. Also from the 7D is the Mu...

At first glance, the 5D Mark III looks a lot like its predecessor. In fact, at 6.0 x 4.6 x 3.0 inches and 30.3 ounces, it's about the same size and weight as the Mark II. It is very well constructed and is built around a magnesium-alloy shell. Seals at c...

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...

As far as follow-ups go, the 22.3-megapixel Canon EOS 5D Mark III would seem more like an evolutionary “next step” than the revolutionary “leap forward” in camera technology its predecessor was.You remember its predecessor, the HD-shooting, 21.1-megapixel...

We found in our Canon 5D Mark III that the camera remains an excellent all-rounder that captures enough detail to make good sized prints without generating too much noise for it to be used in low light conditions. It's also an excellent video camera that...
