Overview
The Power to Create.
Canon is proud to present the highly anticipated
EOS 5D Mark III. With supercharged EOS performance and stunning full frame,
high-resolution image capture, the EOS 5D Mark III is designed to perform.
Special optical technologies like the 61-Point High Density Reticular AF and an
extended ISO range of 100–25600 (expandable to 50 (L), 51200 (H1) and 102400
(H2) make the EOS 5D Mark III ideal for shooting weddings in the studio or out
in the field, and great for still photography. Advanced professional-level high
definition video capabilities (that includes a host of industry-standard
recording protocols and enhanced performance) make it possible to capture
beautiful cinematic movies in EOS HD quality. A newly designed 22.3 Megapixel
full-frame Canon CMOS sensor, Canon DIGIC 5+ Image Processor, and shooting
performance up to 6.0 fps provide exceptional clarity and sharpness, even when
capturing rapidly-unfolding scenes. Additional technological advancements
include an Intelligent Viewfinder, Canon's advanced iFCL metering system, High
Dynamic Range (HDR), and Multiple Exposure mode-all of which that help make the
EOS 5D Mark III the perfect multimedia tool.
In response to user requests, Canon has released
a firmware update that expands the versatility and functionality of the EOS 5D
Mark III. This update enables the camera to export clean, uncompressed HDMI
output to an external recorder, while still being able to record to internal CF
or SD cards and monitor the video on the rear LCD display. In addition, this update
improves autofocus performance by allowing cross-type support at f/8 (center
point). Please click here to learn

22.3 Megapixel
full-frame CMOS sensor
The EOS 5D Mark III features a newly developed Canon full-frame
22.3 Megapixel CMOS sensor that's designed from the ground up to create high
resolution, perfectly detailed images with unprecedented speed and clarity. A
full 24 x 36mm, the sensor captures 5784 x 3861 large individual 6.25 µm pixels
and has a much-improved S/N ratio resulting in better images from the start. A
new photodiode structure with an increased photoelectric conversion rate
increases the sensor's sensitivity by approximately 2 stops over previous
models, meaning higher ISOs with the lowest noise of any EOS digital camera.
And a 2-line 8-channel simultaneous signal readout means speeds of up to 6.0
fps (RAW + JPEG) are possible!
14-bit A/D
conversion, wide range ISO setting 100-25600 (L: 50, H1: 51200, H2: 102400)
The EOS 5D Mark III not only offers 14-bit signal processing for
excellent image gradation, it delivers higher standard and expanded ISOs, and a
score of new options to enhance shooting in varied and fast-changing lighting
situations. With a standard range of ISO 100-25600, the EOS 5D Mark III
represents a 2-stop increase in sensitivity over previous cameras. Thanks to
the improved signal-to-noise ratio of the new sensor and powerful noise
reduction, the EOS 5D Mark III can shoot at expanded sensitivities down to ISO
50 (L) and up to 51200 (H1), and even 102400 (H2)! Beyond the obvious
advantages of its wide ISO range, the EOS 5D Mark III has automatic ISO
settings, found on the dedicated ISO menu. Minimum and maximum ISO settings can
be specified, as can a user-defined range, plus full auto and manual.
DIGIC 5+ Image
Processor for enhanced noise reduction and blazing processing speed
For a whole new level of performance, the EOS 5D Mark III uses a
DIGIC 5+ Image Processor. Working with two 4-channel A/D converter front-end
processing circuits, and delivering speeds of up to 6.0 fps (RAW + JPEG), and
the DIGIC 5+ Image Processor improves data processing performance and features
new algorithms that promote greater noise reduction at higher ISOs. In addition
to conventional image processing functions the DIGIC 5+ Image Processor offers
real-time compensation for chromatic aberration in both still and motion
images. With the power of this processor, speed improvements are noticeable
from the instant the camera is turned on and the stunning results speak for
themselves.

Upgraded
from Canon 50D and WOW what a difference. My 50D was great mind you, but I can
tell a difference in my shots. Maybe it's the bigger CMOS or the fact I shelled
out so much money for the thing, but I am very happy with the results. Looking
forward to trying different lenses. Mine came with the 24-105 that come with
the full kit purchase, love it. Just wish video had an automatic settings so I
could just point and shoot in a hurry rather than make sure I'm in focus etc...
Even though I'm not a pro photo guy, but I sure feel like I could be with this
bad boy on my shoulder!
