Rather than silkscreen the logo next to the button, Canon's eliminated the doubt and put the logo right on these buttons. Five buttons left of the LCD are Creative Style, a new Rate button, a Zoom button, and finally the Playback and Delete buttons. ![]() Menu and Info buttons are well-placed on the upper left side of the LCD. Even so, keeping with Canon tradition, many buttons have shuffled around, and new ones appeared. The control cluster on the back of the Canon 5D Mark III resembles the 7D more than the 5D Mark II. Also from the 7D is the Multi-Function button behind the Shutter button. The 5D Mark III's power switch juts out from beneath this dial, as it does from the Canon 7D as well. 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 Self-timer lamp moves up to its usual position, and the monaural microphone moves from below to above the EOS 5D logo. Two minor elements are moved on the front of the Canon 5D Mark III: the Infrared port is now on the grip (where you'll find it on most every other Canon digital SLR with the feature), and the Depth-of-field preview button has moved to the grip-side of the body. Only height and thickness have increased a millimeter or so. That's 1.7 ounces (50g) heavier than the 5D Mark II. Canon specs the body weight at 30.3 ounces (860g) body only. The grip is sized right for the camera body, though somewhat large for small hands it fit my medium-sized hands comfortably. The size and shape of the Canon 5D Mark III is similar to the Mark II, only a little heavier. We'll go over the other features in more detail below, but the Canon 5D Mark III also includes a 150,000-cycle shutter rating a new HDR mode Full HD, 1080p video at 24, 25, and 30 frames per second a 3.2-inch, 1.04M-dot LCD a new CMOS sensor with higher sensitivity and an eight-channel readout that allows a 6-frame-per-second frame rate a Quick Control dial that includes touch capability for silent adjustments while in video mode multiple raw image sizes 100-percent viewfinder coverage with an adjustable LCD grid and AF overlay a 1.5 percent spot meter a dual-axis leveling system and Standard or Quiet operation modes. The 7D's 63-zone dual-layer metering system reappears in the Canon 5D Mark III, instead of the 1D X's 100,000-pixel RGB sensor. Other additions include a DIGIC 5+ processor, which is said to be 17 times more powerful than the DIGIC 4 processor in the 5D II. To help you decide between the two, here are links to a comparison of the Canon 5D Mark IV vs Canon 5D Mark III, and our Canon 5D Mark IV review.īy Shawn Barnett, Mike Tomkins, and Zig Weidelich The Canon 5D Mark IV (successor to the 5D Mark III) just won " Best Professional DSLR" in our 2016 Camera of the Year awards!

It suits the needs of well-heeled amateurs and working pros equally well, and while its resolution is only very slightly higher than that of the 5D Mark II, the Canon 5D Mark III offers so many improvements over its predecessor that it'll be an easy upgrade decision for many 5D Mark II owners. ![]() The Canon 5D Mark III is a true "superstar" camera, with impressive capabilities for both still and video shooting. ![]()
