Exceptional camera for a true professional that delivers the highest quality pictures every time you use it. Great for portraits, scenery, or any type of shot.

Let me start by saying that this is my first DLSR camera. I've been shooting Leica RFs for the better part of 10 years so I have grown up basically shooting in manual mode since I started getting into photography. My kids are getting older now and my RF just can't keep up with the speed of their sports now so I had to make the plunge into DLSRs. Apparently I came into it at a good time with the 5DMIII and D800E releases. I did a lot of research and in the end I chose Canon for the following reasons:
1) I need speed so I was drawn to 6fps as well as the quality of ISO sensitivity at 3200/6400
2) I wanted a camera that is super easy to set up and adjust on the fly (wash between the Nikon and Canon)
3) I was drawn to the silent option on the Canon - it is incredibly subtle.
4) I liked the quick C1-C3 dials for customization of the camera. Nikon has it but it is awkward to use.
5) I wanted a walk around lens and the 24-105 just felt a heck of a lot more solid than the Nikon 24-120 - the Nikon felt super cheap and the double barrel would definitely be become a problem in terms of durability and shooting in the rain; which tends to happen a lot in Seattle.
I am impressed. I love the flexibility of this camera and I the image quality is excellent. I am definitely a perfectionist when it comes to image sharpness and I only shoot RAW so I tend to be a bit of a pixel peeper. While the 36MP was impressive on the D800E, in the end, I realized that when it comes to shooting the kids, family and friends, the Canon gave me more versatility. I also found the video capabilities to be pretty good even though I rarely use it.
All in all, for $4500 bucks, this camera kit is a good value for what you get. The 24-105 lens is very good especially considering that this is a kit lens. I had it out this past weekend shooting casual shots and the image quality is very sharp across the entire frame. The fit and finish is also very good. My M9 is still the preferred camera when I am out and about but I am genuinely impressed and surprised by the capability of the 5DMIII.

I used a 5D mark 1 since its introduction and its performance was so good I used it in preference to the technically superior (on paper) Canon 7D.
I upgraded for 2 greatly improved areas - improved S/N at higher ISO setting and autofocus (the mark I was poor).
The mark III has delighted me. Its low performance has opened up so many new natural light opportunities - not just indoor events, but woodland and forest scenes that formerly demanded tripods and slow shutter speeds are now possible. Creatively, you can choose between those 'frozen' waterfalls in the redwood forest - or the creamy look of the long exposures. Choice is good.
The other thing I noticed is that I'm applying less sharpening to my images. This applies to RAW images - I'm not sure why. Resolution, sharpness and contrast on all my lenses is much improved. (100-400L, 24-105L, 90mm TSE and 100mm macro)
I'm not a professional but I am proficient with the camera and photoshop. Frankly, I thought hard about the cost of this upgrade but the first 'roll shot' dispelled all doubts. Worth the wait.
Incidentally, the Canon versus Nikon religious wars have become silly. Both are excellent. If you are entering the market at this price point then consider the family of products, prices and values - not just the camera body features and performance. If you already have Nikon or Canon lenses there's no good reason to change bodies for small relative differences at similar price points.

The Canon 5D MK III is everything the Canon 5D MKII could and should have been. People at Canon wisely listened to their users and made all the necessary adjustments. The improvements made are significant and useful. The Canon 5D MK III has been extensively reviewed and is unnecessary to repeat findings here. The Canon 5D MK III is a princely camera.

I upgraded to the Canon 5D Mark III from the original 5D. The quality of the pictures from the 5D classic are still incredible but the autofocus was very limiting while trying to keep up with my one year old after he started walking. I could no longer use the focus and recompose because by the time I did my son would be ten feet away. I finally made the plunge and purchased the 5D Mark III.
All I can say is WOW! The auto focus is fast and accurate. The high iso capabilities compared to the classic is astonishing and allows me to do more than I ever thought I could with a camera. While it is true that the photographer not the camera makes great images, it certanitly doesn't hurt to have a great tool to work with. The camera has rejuvenated my passion for photography instead of feeling frustrated when I would miss pictures due to poor auto focus. This camera will meet all of my needs for many years to come.
Pros:
- Great Auto focus
- Image quality
- 6 fps
- Excellent high iso performance. Not afraid to shoot at iso 6400
- Good Ergonomics
- Build quality
- Refined compared to the 5D classic
Cons:
- Price. Paid $3250 on sale.
- No auto focus for video. I don't shoot video but it will probably keep me from using it.
- Slow SD card write speed. SD cards are much cheaper than CF cards.
Conclusion:
If you don't need the improved auto focus I would probably go for the 5D Mark II or even the 5D classic. For myself that was the biggest selling feature and it is why I skipped the 5D Mark II despite it's many other improvements over the original. I have no regrets in purchasing the camera and thoroughly enjoy using it.

Look, it's a high end Canon camera. What could be wrong? It's not a Nikon but with the right choice of multi-thousand dollar Canon lenses should do just fine. Menus and controls take some getting used to.

As a long time user of Canon's 5D series I can say for certain that they've always been capable of taking great photos. There's little doubt the sensor capabilities of the 5D and 5D2 are simply excellent. However, like many users of the series, we all tend to share a common gripe. The AF system - specifically the outer focus points of the previous generation - were, shall we say, capable of giving the photographer ulcers in addition to nervous breakdowns? I can't tell you how many times I'd see a shot, compose, line up to take it with an outer focus point in decent lighting, only to have the AF system sail past the subject and miss the shot. And just like that, the moment's gone.
No more! I'm glad to say that Canon listened and pratically went over board with the AF system on the 5D3. Even in the crummiest of lighting - practical darkness - with little contrast between the subject and the background and I'm hitting the focus nearly everytime. Shots the 5Dc or 5D2 couldn't see with the "good" center focus point -all without the AF assist beam! Its like Canon took the very good AF system of the 7D and hyped it up with steroids and sonar - it's that good! There was no way they were going to let the AF system handicap this camera - and they've succeeded.
For me personally, I would have been happy with the 5D2 plus a great AF, and I got that with the 5D3. But there's so much more. Silent shooting is so quiet you can barely hear the shutter, the high ISO capabilities are mind numbing, I'm hardly seeing any noise at all at ISO 2000, some at 3200, and then it becomes noticable (but useable) all the way to 12,800. And it cleans up well in LR4.
So at the end of the day it comes down to two things; - according to me and based on *most* of the reviews out there on the 5D2 -
1. The AF system has been so vastly improved its like going from a Tercel to a Ferrari - no longer will a pro canon shooter be handicapped by a subpar AF system.
2. The ISO capabilities - which were good before on the 5D2, now they're just ridiculous.
If you've ever wanted to throw your 5D2 into the sea because the outer focus points failed you or if you shoot weddings in crummy light, then get on the waiting list, you won't be disappointed.

Ahhh, what to add to the already excellent handfull of exhaustive reviews? After two weeks of heavy shooting and my first wedding with the Mark III under my belt, here's my only added thoughts:
1) Coming from the already excellent Mark II (outside of low-light AF), the Mark III inspires a whole lot of confidence. Let me explain. With the Mark II, I worried about missing shots, especially in a one-chance-only wedding situation. The Mark III just gets the job done, and thus, I approach weddings with more confidence and can run-and-gun far more effectively. Confidence.
2) The silent shutter can not be emphasized enough if you are a wedding shooter. It really helps to both shoot incognito as well as get candid shots without immediately alerting the subject that their picture is being taken. In this way, you can take multiple shots before a subject realizes. For weddings, it's crucial and amazing.
And, to harp on what's already been said: AF kicks butt and is a huge improvement, esp. in low light; and the high ISO performance really is something to behold. Get you one!

Judging from all the reviews here on Amazon, just about every owner seems to love the 5D3. I too echo those feelings.
I upgraded from the original 5D and I can't speak highly enough about how much Canon has improved on this camera. For me personally, I love the superior AF, Quiet Shutter, 100% accurate view finder and much improved high ISO noise. These were the lacking features in the original 5D that bugged me each time I used it. And so after 6 years of ownership, I pulled the trigger on the new 5D3 once I saw a big enough price drop.
As much as I enjoy shooting with this camera, there are a few things that can still be improved upon. First, the RAW dynamic range of this camera, although good and improved, is still slightly behind compared to Nikon and Sony's offerings. This would affect those who shoot landscapes under contrasty conditions. The Auto-ISO feature is less sophisticated than that found on Nikons which seems to choose higher shutter speeds and ISO to permit less camera shake. And finally, I wished the 5D3 could AF down to -3EV like the newer 6D. I know this is wishful thinking though. And finally, the pricing is a bit too high at full MSRP. Canon is a bit greedy for charging what they wanted.
Overall, this is an amazing DSLR. I do NOT regret getting the 5D3 one bit. It feels like a mature product especially since I am upgrading from the original 5D.

I have a Canon t2i camera and loved it but it was time for an upgrade. I decided to splurge and get the Canon EOS 5D Mark 3. I read all the reviews and it seemed to focus better than other models. I have had the camera only a few weeks but the photos are better than my other camera. The auto focus does work better. I keep a Canon 70-300mm image stabilizer lens on the camera all the time because I take a lot of nature photos. I love that the camera automatically sets the ISO. I can take photos with the long lens in any light and get great pictures. If you need more detailed info on the camera read the other reviews but for my money I have no regrets in paying over $3000 for this camera.

The first one that I got had a dust inside the view finder. It is inside the camera. I just returned the defective one and Amazon shipped me another one fast and without any cost for shipping and additional charge. Thumb up for Amazon. In regarding to the camera, I shot several pictures with 6400 iso in an event and the pictures came out beautiful without any noise. AF is quick. Multi shot is quick and the shutter is much quit. This is an upgrade from my T2i. Another feature that I use a lot is the remote control of my speedlites. One thing that I don't like is the weight. It is heavy. Also, I have a problem to download pictures to my Mac. But no problem with my Macbook Air. There is a lot of comments online about this issue. Looks like a separate card reader is the solution. I just order one card reader and hopefully resolve this problem.
Updated 4/4
Yes, a separate card reader resolved this problem. If I connect my camera to my iMac, sometimes it got error and only downloaded portions of the pictures. Using a separate card reader, no problem at all.

This is a beautiful machine! I did a ton of research and actually was going to buy the Mark II but at the last moment I switched to the three. I talked to people who owned the III and read lots of reviews to make my final decision. I was really nervous because I have only used the II and was going on a limb paying the pretty dollar for this camera never had used it before. I got the camera just last week and immediately took a shot of my boyfriend using my 580ex II flash and I was BLOWN away by the results. You can zoom in for days and still have incredible detail. So I finally used it at an event and every shot is crisp, clear and extremely professional looking which is what I have been waiting for. Today I finally tested it using natural light and LOVE the results! I went from a Canon 3OD to this and it was an amazing investment and I can see remarkable results.
Frankly the 1 and 2 star reviews are non sense complaints. I literally have had non of the issues that those people complain about. I always photograph RAW and I use prime lenses which really help get the clear crisp image and well a huge part of my photography business is editing and watching things come to life while I edit.

Unless you are already shooting full frame, high megapixel gear you are in for a treat! Yes I realize high pixel count doesn't make a sharper image or give one better composition... but if one chooses to shoot jpeg the 5DMKIII STARTS at 21megapixels and delivers stunning 9-10 MB jpeg images. It simply has more to work with out of the gate.
I like the two-card set up that allows me to shoot and have in-camera backup. The GLASS LCD is clean and crisp and the menu system is relatively quick and intuitive. I do wish it had onboard flash... yes it will produce images at absurdly high ISOs but every now and then a fill-in flash is handy to have. Haven't used the HDR mode much yet since use of a tripod is recommended (I shoot hand-held most of the time). Can't comment on the 1080p video either; I didn't buy it for that.
According to folks like Ken Rockwell this is the world's best DSLR and I don't disagree with him. One has to weigh whether the cost is justified when compared to say the new 6D. It all comes down to your personal workflow and field needs. If a one-card system with fewer focus points will work for you, the 6D ALMOST the same camera for about $1,200-$1,500 less.
I personally am happy with the 5DMKIII. It fits my needs. Amazon delivered on time and the product was as-advertised. Bravo Amazon!

I bought the 5D MkIII to complement but not replace my Canon 7D. I use it mostly for portrait, landscape and nature photography.
Excellent camera, with a strong magnesium-alloy body. Also weather resistant. Excellent 22 Megpixel full frame CMOS and a 61 focus point AF system. I also love the 3.2 inch screen, nicer than what I had on the 7D. Now with the new upgrade you can have full HD video.
Lack of flash is a small issue, but nothing that can't be over come. It also lack the ability to control remote flashes. Something the much cheaper 7D can handle.
The price point is still too high, maybe cheaper to get the 6D which isn't as good but cheaper.
Great, all around camera, with fast auto focus and tons of bells and whistles.

I've run nikon for the last 10 years and have been very happy with my gear. Started with a Coolpix 5700, then a D70, D200 and finally a D700. I owned the 70-200 2.8, 60mm 2.8 macro, doubler, and a couple zoom lenses.
I still like Nikon and some things I believe are handled better by Nikons in general. That being said, I love my 5dm3. The video quality is absolutely AMAZING. Low light performance is great and the build quality of the body is rock solid. My only real complaint is that I think it is stupid that to adjust ISO and see the impact on shutter speed in Av live without exiting ISO adjustment you have to switch the settings in the menu... That's just silly. same thing with changing the focus point with the little joystick thing, doesn't do it unless you modify an option in the menu.. gah.. just default those things imho! I'm still struggling a little bit with the controls and how they work but that is to be expected. Once i have that down and with the menu tweaks i've uncovered i think i'll be able to shoot as quickly and efficiently as i did on my D700.
I also love the dual card slot! Being able to use my 32G cf cards from my D700 as well as sdxc cards is awesome.
I still like Nikon and some things I believe are handled better by Nikons in general. That being said, I love my 5dm3. The video quality is absolutely AMAZING. Low light performance is great and the build quality of the body is rock solid.

This is my second 5D MkIII. Can't say enough about it. Canon's spectacular photographic imagery has become a given, but the video capabilities put it over the top for a camera in this price range. In addition to photography, I use it for B-roll next to a Sony PMW-EX3 ($8500), and usually, I'm trying to get the Sony footage to match up to the Canon in post.

Coming from a 7D and between other different choices (6D and 70D), I decided to go to the NEXT LEVEL. All previous reviews are accurate and helpful, but until you have it in your hands you will see what this camera can really do. Just had it for a few days and the picture quality is outstanding. L lenses are thankful for having this body! If you have the $ and willing to unleash the creativity in you GO FOR IT, you will not be disappointed. Will keep updating the review once I do some studio photos. Canon and Amazon have my 5 stars, well deserved! Keep it up.

It takes great photos. Everything works well. I really have no complaints.
What do you want to know about it before you buy it? Comment and I'll answer the best I can.

The following excerpts come from a full field review that I wrote at NWPPhotoForum (The Nature, Wildlife and Pet Photography Forum). It includes several samples from both the studio and the field (Death Valley, California and the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge, Queens NY). It also includes several high ISO samples.

From the conclusion:
The Canon EOS 5d Mark III presents as an evolutionary model rather than an revolutionary one. It sounds like Canon was really listening to feedback from people like me who said to make the next camera more usable and not focus on additional resolution. If I look at the 5d Mark III in that vain, it is an unadulterated success. However, the 5d Mark III reminds me of how the Canon EOS 30d was an upgrade to the 20d. Like the 30d, the Canon EOS 5d Mark III provides a host of usability features that truly makes it a better camera than its predecessor while leaving the core engine essentially the same...
...Before I sound as if I am panning the 5d Mark III, let me clearly say that I definitely really like this camera. It does everything I need it to do - and more. I also suggest that it is odd that I am even mentioning the Nikon D800 in this review or rumors about the vaporware EOS 3D. I have never mentioned a competitive product while doing a review before, attempting to judge a product in its own right. It is just that the D800 is such a huge entry into the market that it colors pretty much everything as a result - and that is pretty wild if you think about it. The end result is that I find myself ambivalent about a camera that I really like as a tool. That is - I hope you agree - somewhat irrational. My guess is that my feelings mirror many of the same themes that have been raised in the different gear head forums. The trick is distinguishing what are legitimate gripes versus more existential issues. So, I own the 5d Mark III and choose to get rid of the existential angst. It is a great camera - even though I think it might be priced a bit higher than it should.
