Canon 5D Mark III – Finally!

Mar02

Finally, after 3.5 years, the Canon 5D Mark III is here (or at least on the way)!

Big specs are:

  • 22MP full frame CMOS sensor
  • ISO 100-25600 standard, 50-102,800 expanded
  • 6 fps continuous shooting
  • Shutter rated to 150,000 frames
  • 1080p30 video recording, stereo sound via external mic
  • 61 point AF system
  • 63 zone iFCL metering system
  • 100% viewfinder coverage
  • 1040k dot 3:2 LCD
  • Dual card slots for CF and SD

Oddly missing are:

  • Any resolution gain
  • A flip out screen

Still, after nearly an eternity with the Mark II, I’m ready for my sixth Canon body.

Find out all the gory details on dpreview.com.

    I’ve seen lots of speculation whether Canon will lose customers to the Nikon D800 with its impressive headline spec of 36MP and lower price.But the Canon does seem to have internals that the Nikon doesn’t match, and some people are saying that the higher megapixels just means more storage headaches. I’m keen to see comparisons, especially noise at higher ISOs.

      Probably the resolution doesn’t make much difference if the noise is low. Most of my lens are at the edge of their resolving power anyway unless you shoot with L primes

      DPReview has samples up to ISO 102K. The images look remarkably good up to 25,600. Impressive:

        The continuing improvements in sensitivity are awesome. I shudder remembering the old days of 35mm when your 400 or 800 roll was the “fast” roll and noisy.
