D Mark II raised the resolution to 2. The Canon 5. D Mark III raises the game in terms of overall camera performance, from frame rate to autofocus, while increasing the resolution only slightly (by just over a million pixels to 2. Of all the additional features, probably the most important is the new autofocus system, brought over from the 1. D X, which in addition to having more points (6. Canon 5. D III's image area, while the AF system of the past two models were brought over from the company's APS- C cameras, thus covering much less image area in the viewfinder. Other additions include a DIGIC 5+ processor, which is said to be 1. DIGIC 4 processor in the 5.
D II. The 7. D's 6. Canon 5. D Mark III, instead of the 1. D X's 1. 00,0. 00- pixel RGB sensor. We'll go over the other features in more detail below, but the Canon 5. D Mark III also includes a 1.
HDR mode; Full HD, 1. M- 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; 1. LCD grid and AF overlay; a 1. Standard or Quiet operation modes. The size and shape of the Canon 5. D Mark III is similar to the Mark II, only a little heavier. The grip is sized right for the camera body, though somewhat large for small hands; it fit my medium- sized hands comfortably.
Canon specs the body weight at 3. That's 1. 7 ounces (5. D Mark II. Dimensions are 6.
Only height and thickness have increased a millimeter or so. Two minor elements are moved on the front of the Canon 5. D 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. The Self- timer lamp moves up to its usual position, and the monaural microphone moves from below to above the EOS 5.
D logo. The top deck includes a Mode dial with the Auto+ mode, combined from the Creative Auto and Green Zone modes on the 5. D Mark II. The 5.
D Mark III's power switch juts out from beneath this dial, as it does from the Canon 7. D as well. Also from the 7. D is the Multi- Function button behind the Shutter button. Canon has remapped the Status LCD. The control cluster on the back of the Canon 5. D Mark III resembles the 7. D more than the 5.
D Mark II. Even so, keeping with Canon tradition, many buttons have shuffled around, and new ones appeared. Menu and Info buttons are well- placed on the upper left side of the LCD. Five buttons left of the LCD are Creative Style, a new Rate button, a Zoom button, and finally the Playback and Delete buttons. Rather than silkscreen the logo next to the button, Canon's eliminated the doubt and put the logo right on these buttons. Lower left of the LCD are three holes for the speaker, and a small window for the ambient light sensor, used to automatically adjust the LCD backlight. Right of the LCD the controls are nearly all 7.
D, except for the new, more logical position of the Quick menu button, just upper left of the Quick Control dial. The Movie Record/Live View control includes a switch to select between modes, and a button to either start and stop Movie recording or to start and stop Live View mode. The Quick Control dial turns with its normal coarse click stops, but in Movie mode it also responds to touch for making silent adjustments whose noise won't appear in the audio track. The LCD itself is a 3: 2 aspect ratio design that's just as gorgeous as recent models have been, with a 1. The thumbgrip on the right is a little better than on the 5. D Mark II, with a more comfortable taper down the length of the back, rather than a simple arc that didn't match the contours of the thumb.
That didn't stop when the lab closed that evening, though, because I took the camera home to my basement studio and shot a slew of portraits of my girls, using the 2. I set the incorrect white balance for my lights, making the straight- from- the- camera JPEGs you see below warmer than they should be, if not objectionably so. But I processed the image above from raw and like the results. I also like the warmer look seen below, so I'm torn. In both cases, the Canon 5. D Mark III captured some very nice images, but it wasn't just the camera; the background, models, lights, and I had something to do with it too, not to mention mommy's wardrobe ideas and ample props.

ISO 1. 00f/7. 1, 1/1. ISO 1. 00f/7. 1, 1/1. ISO 1. 00. My overwhelming impression was that the 5. D Mark III excelled for one main reason: It slathers your subject with autofocus points. Because so many of those points are cross- type, there's no more need to focus with the center point and recompose repeatedly.
Just move the AF points as your subject moves. Even as your orientation changes, you can have your AF points or clusters change too, remembering where you last had them set. If you sometimes prefer a single AF point and at other times want one or even two of the multi- point options, you can set one to each orientation, either left or right. Just turn on Orientation Linked AF point and by rotating left or right, you can have two specialized portrait modes: one for zeroing in on the eyes, another for ensuring most of the face is in focus. The only bad news about the 5. D Mark III's excellent array of 6. D Mark II less of a bargain, at least for me now that I've used the Mark III.
My camera bag is also heavier thanks to the larger glass and heavy body of the 5. D Mark III compared to the Canon T3i and Olympus Pens I usually carry.
About the best thing I can say about the 5. D Mark III is I haven't felt as free to shoot and create in a long time. Despite its deeper menus and greater complexity, once it's all set it just gets out of your way and lets you work. When a camera manufacturer achieves that, it's harder to say much in a review. We wanted to get the opinion of some working photographers as well, so we put the camera into the hands of Jeffrey Kuo and Ellis Vener to get their thoughts. They used the camera in their pro work and wrote down some of their experiences with the Canon 5.
D Mark III, so be sure to check it out below. Portrait Shooting with the Canon 5. D Mark IIIby Jeffrey Kuo. As a wedding photographer I'm forced to shoot in a wide variety of lighting conditions. I shoot with the Canon 5. D Mark II. While it's a great camera, some of the Mark II's features force me to compromise how I usually capture the hundreds of important, but fleeting moments of a wedding day. Now that I've spent some time with the Canon 5.
D Mark III, I can say that I'm incredibly impressed with the improvements made over the 5. D Mark II. Ergonomics. There are quite a few improvements, and we'll take them a few at a time. First, I appreciated how the Canon 5.
D Mark III felt more solid. The 5. D Mark III's grip also fit more nicely in my hands; my fingers wrapped around the grip more comfortably. My thumb rested on a more pronounced protrusion than on the 5. D Mark II and was more comfortable to hold for long periods. On the 5. D Mark II, with a heavy lens such as the Canon EF 2.
L or the Canon EF 7. L IS, my thumb would start to turn red from the friction of the grip after several hours of shooting; that didn't happen with the 5. D Mark III. This improvement alone illustrates the improvements in handling comfort that Canon has made. I absolutely loved how much more comfortable it felt in my hands. The entire camera is more rounded on all corners than its predecessor, and the battery and memory card bays are now spring- loaded for those of us looking to save a second or two when we have to swap memory cards or batteries. Its improved weather sealing is also a plus. Canon made a few changes to the button layout from the Mark II to the Mark III.
First, the power button moved to the mode dial, similar to its placement on the Canon 7. D. While I prefer turning on my camera with my shooting hand, I generally leave it on (it doesn't drain the battery much unless its in Live View mode) and can understand Canon's move to separate the now- programmable main dial lock from the power switch. The Mode dial now has a lock to prevent accidental mode switching, something that would sometimes happen to my 5. D Mark II when moving around during a wedding day, or when placing my camera in a backpack or roller for transportation.
There is also a new magnification button for zooming on image playback, one that appears in a new location, a feature I'll touch upon in more detail below. Menu System. The menu system is displayed beautifully on a gorgeous 3. LCD. While similar to the 5. D Mark II and the 7. D, the menus are divided into color- coded subgroups.
For a photographer who doesn't have time to read all the menu options, being able to navigate quickly to the right setting is critical. Due to the improved autofocus system, Canon has dedicated an entire group of menus to customizing the autofocus features. All of the Custom functions are now displayed individually, rather than hidden in subgroups as before.
