Technical Details
Style: 5D Mark III Body
- Newly designed 22.3 Megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor, 14-bit A/D conversion, wide range ISO setting 100-25600 (L:50, H1: 51200, H2: 102400) for shooting from bright to dim light and next generation DIGIC 5+ Image Processor for enhanced noise reduction and exceptional processing speed.
- New 61-Point High Density Reticular AF including up to 41 cross-type AF points with f/4.0 lens support and 5 dual diagonal AF points (sensitive to f/2.8).
- iFCL Metering with 63 zone dual-layer metering sensor that utilizes AF and color information for optimizing exposure and image quality.
- EOS HD Video with manual exposure control and multiple frame rates (1080: 30p (29.97) / 24p (23.976) / 25p, 720: 60p (59.94) / 50p, 480: 30p (29.97) / 25p) with 4 GB automatic file partitioning (continuous recording time 29 minutes 59 seconds), selectable "All i-frame" or IPB compressions, embedded timecode, manual audio level control while recording, and headphone terminal.
- 3.2-inch Clear View II LCD monitor, 170° viewing angle, 1,040,000-dot VGA, reflection; magnesium-alloy body with shutter durability tested up to 150,000 cycles, enhanced dust-and-weather resistance, and updated EOS Integrated Cleaning system for improved vibration-based dust removal.
I've had the camera for about a week now and it's a great update to the 5dII and a step up from the 7D. Better construction, better AF, the high ISO quality is really outstanding even at 12,800 and useable up to 25,600 for the web. The new metering (off the 7D) is a real welcome addition and it's been nailing exposure much much better than my old camera.
My new 5D III just arrived yesterday and i was able to start testing it at a gallery reception. Feel is great! One thing that amazed me is the pictures I took at night without flash! I was amazed! its as if it has night vision! Looking forward to learn all its features. I am upgrading from the 7D which I intend to keep as my companion camera.
