Wow what an amazing new camera. I keep zooming all the way in on playback to see how crisp and clear the details are. Lots of room to crop in and still have a great photo without a much longer lens. I have been keeping the ISO and shutter speeds up to get better handheld shots, that seems to work well most of the time. The new time-lapse movie feature seems to do well even though I have only used it a couple of times. I do like having a built in intervalometer for making my own time-lapses. I took a series of 1200 shots one afternoon as the clouds rolled by over the mountains. I still have a problem that my editing software hasn't caught up with the new Raw format Canon uses. We'll see how long it is before they catch up. Overall it is a wonderful update to the Canon line.

Here is the learning curve I followed in getting more confidence in the world of the DSLR.
Start off with the great and humble and not too scary Canon EOS Rebel T3 12.2 MP CMOS Digital SLR with 18-55mm IS II Lens and EOS HD Movie Mode (Black). Please notice this is the T3 without the i . . .A great street camera which really gets you used to the technology and the set-up.
Then progress to the wonderful, built-like-a-tank Canon EOS 7D 18 MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera with 3-Inch LCD (Body Only) which really carries you to the next level, into the pro's in fact. A camera built for hard use with the features you need.
Then come into the light with this top of the line camera, the desire of all shutterbugs, pro and aficionado.
The first thing you notice straight out of the box is the smaller size and yet solid build. Tiny features you really really appreciate right away is the fact the function changing button LOCKS, so when you set it to MANUAL (as you will all of the time), it doesn't migrate on its own to Bulb or Av OR WORSE, jsut when you were thinking you were cool with Manual and had to take an instant shot on the street.
You also notice the repositioning of the buttons, such as the Quick Menu display which gives you access to the various settings as on the 7D. It is now on the right side in a space very convenient for righties. In fact, the redesign seems to favor the righties world.
I need to study the manual further to find out what this RATE button is all about.
Of course this review only begins not even to scratch the surface of all that is here, but this is right out of the box and clearly the epitome, the apex, of the DSLR camera today. I haven't even begun to mention how incredible this camera can be with the High Dynamic Range feature, the ISO range from FIFTY (for photography on the surface of the sun?) all the way to infinity and BEYOND (actually maybe 256000 or sometihng like that) for taking shots in total darkness as I tend to do on city streets and alleys at night.
Study carefully the manual and do not lose it. It does not come as a .pdf file on CD disk, unfortunately. The bundled software is the same as what came with the 7D.

I have the Canon 1DS Mark III and like it but this camera is better and lighter than the Mark III. I am so happy with this that I had to buy another just so I don't have to always change lenses from Telephoto to wide angle all the time.
I do a lot of wildlife and outdoor photography and this is great for what I do.

Phenomenal camera...completely reawakened my interest in photography. I held off writing a review, so I could have some experience with it before commenting. I have no complaints...it's easy to understand why this camera is so popular and highly rated.

Almost forgot to include in my original review that the ISO is also really good. I've been able to use this camera without a flash and with no problems. I am testing it out on higher ISOs and will update with my findings.
So far I am very pleased with this camera. Have used for casual use and also just worked a party with a photo booth. I love the colors this camera produces in the sunlight and the back lighting is awesome! Fast focus but the focus points take a bit to get used to since my other camera is a Nikon and its a little different. It was very easy to understand, I read through the manual first while the battery was charging and by the time it was ready to use I was ready to set it up and start shooting. I still have more to learn but for the most part I'm loving it. The battery did read an error when first plugged in (flashed rapidly), I went online and found it could happen when you first by the camera and the battery had been sitting for a while. I unplugged the charger, removed the battery, waited a minute. Once I plugged back in, it charged just fine. Went ahead and ordered a battery grip and extra batteries with a car charger. Also placed an order for a CF card and SD card. I love that this camera has two storage slots so you can use one as a back up or expand your storage. Also, doesn't have a pop up flash so ordered a new flash as the one I use for my Nikon doesn't work for Canon. I will be using both my Nikon and Canon in my work. I do nature photography as well as photo sessions for family, new born, engagement, maternity...I also shoot weddings and have a photo booth setup... just to give an idea of what I use my camera's for.

Now, I don't want my headline to give the impression that I am a Canon fanboy and will not give any other camera manufacturer, especially SONY, the benefit of the doubt. I just happen to think that this camera is still better for video than the newly released SONY A7s and I would like to share my reasons as to why.
I have been using this camera for my video and cinematic projects for a few years now. It is the camera that made me fall in love with full frame (vista vision) aesthetics. It is, in my opinion, the best DSLR for cinema ever crafted.
Now, the SONY A7s is a fantastic camera with lots of great cinematic qualities and possibilities. However, it is not, in my opinion, a worthy successor to the Canon 5D Mark III. Here are my reasons as to why.
1. The Canon 5D Mark III records video at a bit rate of at least 90 mbps while the SONY A7s is limited to 50 mbps. I don't know what the bit rate is for when it's recording 4K (which requires an external recorder to do so).
2. There are more downloadable in-camera programs for Canon cameras (such as Vision Color picture profiles) than there are for SONY.
3. The Canon 5D Mark III has better rolling shutter and moire elimination than the SONY A7s.
4. As pointed out by professional Cinematographer Shane Hurlbert, the compression on cameras like the Canon 5D Mark III softens the edges of the image making them look more like film. Sharpness is a good quality to have for cinema but, in my opinion, there is such a thing as too sharp.
SONY's new camera is a wonderful improvement in low light and the option to record 4K to an external recorder is a cool bonus but, in my opinion, that is not enough to make the SONY A7s a worthy successor to the Canon 5D Mark III.

I upgraded from a Canon Rebel T3i to this camera. I was at the point where the Rebel was limiting me mainly in terms of high ISO image quality and the AF. I was unsure whether to try out another APS-C camera (the T4i or 7D potentially or a maybe even a mirrorless alternative) or make the "leap" to a Full Frame (FF) camera. As you can tell I decided to make the leap to a FF camera. I ended up selling my 17-55 zoom, 85 1.8 and 40 mm pancake and bought this 5D along with a used 135L that has been my only lens until today. Here is what I will tell you about this camera:
1) You will not be disappointed in it unless maybe you are coming from a 1DX for some reason. The only thing about this camera that I wish was better is its burst rate, period. There is nothing else that disappoints me about it.
- Battery life? Amazing.
- High ISO? I have no issue keeping pictures taken at 12800 ISO.
- AF? Blazing fast and all those AF points are glorious.
2) It will likely make you spend a lot more than its $3k entrance price on lenses and other camera accessories. If you get the zoom lens with the kit you may eventually get the urge to upgrade to a faster zoom or a prime and even if you don't get the kit lens and use it with some of the better non-L lenses (85 f1.8, 100 f2) you will likely still catch the L bug and move up to some L primes (135L, 35L, 50L etc etc) due to their amazing image quality, build quality etc. Honestly, if you're buying this camera you will want to pair it with the best your money can get you because it will just continue to give back the more you give to it.
3) It is, in my mind, worth every penny of its entrance price. I've gotten way more out of this camera than I dreamed of getting from my old setup. Keep in mind that I had a T3i with 17-55mm f/2.8 (great lens), 85mm f/1.8 (great lens) and 50mm f/1.8 and I am telling you that I've gotten more out of my 5D with just a 135mm f/2 (amazing lens) attached to it. I've just recently purchased a 35L to add to my collection.
4) Take your time to learn all of the settings and really get used to the camera. I take a lot of pictures of my dog so getting to know the different AI Servo settings and learning about the focus points has been very helpful.
5) If you're worried about weight then this guy is quite heavy. But what I will tell you is that weight is the #1 reason that I used to have the Rebel series because I thought this was way larger and heavier but in reality I've come to learn that the extra bulk is actually something I like. I'm never in a position where I think "Oh man my Rebel would have been so much easier to carry right now" but I'm always in a position where I'm thinking "Gosh I could not have taken this photo with my Rebel".
6) The better bokeh you by grabbing a FF camera is noticeable and great. If you like bokeh then you will love this camera (just be sure to link it up with some fast glass).
Otherwise, there's not much to say. You can probably tell I love the camera and I of course love my lens. If you don't have very much money I'd say grab this with the kit lens (24-105) since it's a well-reviewed lens but if you have some money to spend I would skip that and go for 1 or 2 primes if you can.
Feel free to peruse through some photos of mine on my blog (photos taken with the 5D are labelled as such): [...]

IT IS BRILLIANT! After three years with a 5D Mark II, I finally see the light! The auto focus in the 5D Mark III is spot-on first time every time. I have been living with Canon L-Series lenses and what I thought was state of the art body in the Mark II. NOW . . . I see that the Mark III is a totally different camera with a tack-sharp auto focus. I didn't realize that the Mark II could be better until I got the Mark III. But let me put my money where my mouth is . . . the Magnolia below was photographed with a 100-400mm lens from about 30 feet away. I thought it was a throw away shot when I took it and when I got it home I was amazed. In fact they got the auto focus from the 1 series cameras and it really shows. Again, the Mark III is WORTH the money and is what a high-end camera should do.

My newest and best camera to date. This replaced a Canon t5i and it does so much more. I love having a full frame camera rather than cropped and the clarity is astounding. I have not yet found anything on this camera that I don't like!! You can read about the specs online so I wont go into that, but will say that this is a very good camera if you want to upgrade past the beginner level DSLR cameras. Be aware that if you have only been used to cropped sensor cameras such as Rebels, this full frame will give you some different alternatives in your shooting! I have a Canon fish eye lens that never did much of anything phenomenal with my t1i or t5i but with this camera, opens up a whole new world of fisheye!!

Not going to write a huge review. I love this camera. I have owned and used top of the line Canon digital cameras for years now and this camera still impressed me. The ergonomics are not as good as my 1 series cameras but the function of the camera and the images are top notch.

Amazing camera, very similar image quality to 5d2 with a sophisticated AF system. I can't write anything you can't read on a review site other than coming from a 5d2 it was completely worth the upgrade. Many more successful photos due to the better AF and the camera is just much quicker overall.

I purchased this to upgrade to a full-frame camera. I've rented the 5D mark iii camera from Borrow Lenses and was very pleased with it. I'm happy to be shooting full-frame, although sometimes I still use my rebel T1i.

I had full intensions of working my 5D Mark II for another year or two. The Mark II had really served me well, but I didn't have rain protection on one of my photo tours this year and during the week of intense rains here in Colorado, the Mark II gave out after being in the rain for 2 days. I needed a camera right away while my Mark II went in for repairs.
I decided to go with the Mark III since it used compact flash and also I wanted the upgraded 61-point focusing system and the faster frame rate. Both the Mark III and the 6D have the new Digic 5+ processor which is amazing but the Mark III can shoot at a full 6fps allowing me to use the camera in more action related situations and so I didn't need to purchase a 2nd camera for the occasional sporting events I was shooting.
On my last photo tour we did some astro photography just outside of Crested Butte Colorado on Ohio Pass and the result was some amazing images at ISO 5000 with little to no noise! I literally was able to use image right out of the camera with no post noise reduction.
I also shoot portraits and occasionally I get requests to shoot the kids in action. I went to one of the high school football games to capture of few of my students in action on the football field and I was able to shoot at ISO 12800 so I could capture the players in action with a fast enough shutter speed. This in combination with 6fps gave me clean crisp images. Post noise reduction was minimal. The 5D Mark II would never have been able to match this camera's performance. Iso 6400 on the Mark II is loaded with noise so 12800.
I am disappointed in the fact that the SD card slot is not UDMA-7 compatible and will only support write speeds of 133X. If you want to shoot fast with no buffering then don't use the SD card slot. Stick to the compact flash. When you pair this camera with the Lexar 1000X or San Disk Extreme Pro CF cards it can shoot all day long at 6fps and you never notice any buffering.
I love the new beefier body and grip. It feels really good in the hands and ever better than the Mark II. Though it is heavier, I love the magnesium body. This camera is much more solid and tight sealing than my Mark II, though during my trip to Telluride I made sure I had rain and snow protection for the camera.
The price is high for this camera, but I'm totally happy with my purchase. I'm glad I didn't settle for the 6D. The new 61-point focusing system and the 6fps frame rate made this the right purchase for me, plus the fact that I could take advantage of my already huge investment in compact flash cards I already owned and didn't have to move to new SD cards.
Love this investment in my business! Totally worth it!

I actually bought this camera from Adorama since the price was $2949 with no sales tax, and it came with a 16GB Sandisk CF card and Adobe Photoshop Element 10 for free.
Before I have this camera, I have been shooting with my EOS 7D for almost 4 years. While the 7D has been the mainstay for my photographic adventures, I felt I was at a point to step up the game. The 7D was great for action, sports, and perhaps even landscape; however, there were times when I tried to lift shadows in post processing, I was disappointed with the banding noise even at low ISO. The banding noise was quite difficult to remove unless I used a very strong noise reduction to blur it out with a brush resulting in loss of details. Secondly, I have been eying on one of Canon 's legendary lens: EF 135mm F2L. Without a full frame body, it 's hard for me to justify the purchase of this lens since the focal length would be too long for portrait and I would not enjoy that background isolation effect without a narrower depth of field from a full frame body. Thirdly, images captured from the EOS 7D are only acceptable up to ISO3200. Beyond that, it gets pretty noisy. The 5D Mark3 is now my "night rider".
When I mounted my EF 24mm F1.4L II USM lens on my brand new 5D Mark3 the first time, the images it captured were like OMG! Super sharp with great tonality. I finally can fully utilize this premium lens. Having been using the EOS 7D, the 5D Mark3 feels right at home. The auto focus system is fantastic. It even has more horizontal coverage area than the EOS 7D. The menu and handling are superb, although I am still wondering why there is no dedicated mirror lock up button. And what 's up with the dedicated RATE button? I don't quite understand. I took the 5D Mark3 for a spin in the back country. and let me tell you, this is an awesome piece of equipment. I have never come across a camera this good even though I have been tempted numerious times by the dark side.
Overall the 5D Mark3 is extremely responsive. It 's a bit heavy but not to the point where it breaks your neck. I would suggest replacing the standard issued Canon strap with a comfy third party one. The lack of built-in flash does not bother me. I 'd probably get the 90EX with built-in wireless remote trigger. The battery can even be shared with the EOS 7D. How nice! I don't have to get additional spares.
Before I bought the EOS 5DMark3, I actually had looked into the EOS 6D which was about a grand cheaper. However, I have been spoiled by the AF system of my EOS 7D. So when I tried out the EOS 6D at Best Buy, I was somewhat disappointed. Also its body is quite a bit smaller and it did not perfectly fit into my hands. Out of the three cameras mentioned, the body size of the EOS 7D has the nicest fit for me. The EOS 5D Mark3 is slightly wider and taller. However, I still don't feel fatigue after handling it for a long period of time. I also like the sound of the shutter and the relatively lack of vibration when the mirror is flapped. The silence mode is great. I think it should be featured in all future Canon cameras.
Let 's see. I have not tried video yet. But I don't expect it to be that much difference from my EOS 7D. I rarely use my EOS DSLRs to shoot video. The multi-exposure blending and HDR mode are welcome features. There 's nothing I really dislike about the EOS 5D Mark3. Canon has finally nailed it and hit a home run.

Without a full frame body, it 's hard for me to justify the purchase of this lens since the focal length would be too long for portrait and I would not enjoy that background isolation effect without a narrower depth of field from a full frame body. Thirdly, images captured from the EOS 7D are only acceptable up to ISO3200. Beyond that, it gets pretty noisy. The 5D Mark3 is now my "night rider".
When I mounted my EF 24mm F1.4L II USM lens on my brand new 5D Mark3 the first time, the images it captured were like OMG! Super sharp with great tonality. I finally can fully utilize this premium lens. Having been using the EOS 7D, the 5D Mark3 feels right at home. The auto focus system is fantastic. It even has more horizontal coverage area than the EOS 7D. The menu and handling are superb, although I am still wondering why there is no dedicated mirror lock up button. And what 's up with the dedicated RATE button? I don't quite understand. I took the 5D Mark3 for a spin in the back country. and let me tell you, this is an awesome piece of equipment. I have never come across a camera this good even though I have been tempted numerious times by the dark side.
Overall the 5D Mark3 is extremely responsive. It 's a bit heavy but not to the point where it breaks your neck. I would suggest replacing the standard issued Canon strap with a comfy third party one. The lack of built-in flash does not bother me. I 'd probably get the 90EX with built-in wireless remote trigger. The battery can even be shared with the EOS 7D. How nice! I don't have to get additional spares.
Before I bought the EOS 5DMark3, I actually had looked into the EOS 6D which was about a grand cheaper. However, I have been spoiled by the AF system of my EOS 7D. So when I tried out the EOS 6D at Best Buy, I was somewhat disappointed. Also its body is quite a bit smaller and it did not perfectly fit into my hands. Out of the three cameras mentioned, the body size of the EOS 7D has the nicest fit for me. The EOS 5D Mark3 is slightly wider and taller. However, I still don't feel fatigue after handling it for a long period of time. I also like the sound of the shutter and the relatively lack of vibration when the mirror is flapped. The silence mode is great. I think it should be featured in all future Canon cameras.
Let 's see. I have not tried video yet. But I don't expect it to be that much difference from my EOS 7D. I rarely use my EOS DSLRs to shoot video. The multi-exposure blending and HDR mode are welcome features. There 's nothing I really dislike about the EOS 5D Mark3. Canon has finally nailed it and hit a home run.

Ok...so I'm totally THAT dad. First I opted for the Canon 60D...and although it was good...I felt it wasn't the best. I also didn't care for the whole crop sensor issue as I felt that I had to leave the room just to take a picture of a group of people! I was shooting with a 50 mm f/1.4 lens at the time. Forget about taking pictures if there was any sort of space constraint. So, after a couple of months playing around with the 60D I upgraded to the 5D Mark III.
All I can say is AWESOME!
The quality of images shot through the roof. I have several lenses that I use but the 50mm 1.4 and a 40 mm 2.8 are my favorites. It's like the camera can take just the right picture in any sort of light! Also, added in the Speedline 430EX flash and now everything looks even better.
If you can afford the higher priced Mark III and a decent lens...go for it. It's worth it. The other cameras are good too...but you may beg tired of the crop sensor issue. I've uploaded some of my pictures if you are curious. And like I said...yes, I'm totally 'that dad.'
OK...I lied. I can't figure out how to add images. It isn't exactly clear here on Amazon. Perhaps I can write a review on that? If there is a kind amazon helper that can assist me with this, I'd really like to add some images. :)

Love it absolutely amazing product!!! Not going to give a detailed review as many are already given, but I will say that I did use a Canon 5D Mark 3, Nikon D810 and D750 and prefer the 5DSR much more!!!

Replaces my Mk II. Love it. Much better color and the I.ages are a bit too sharp. Takes some getting used to for the different controls.

If you read on you will find that this review is aimed for the amateur who is thinking of buying a 5D3.
As an enthusiastic amateur I spent a lot of time pondering whether I could justify to myself to part with so much money for this camera for what is purely a hobby and eventually came to the conclusion that you only live once and why not go for it. 2 years ago I returned to this hobby after 20 years or so of taking nothing other than family snaps. It was a steep learning curve to learn the basics of digital photography but enjoyable too. I got myself a EOS 60D and made a decision back then that I would stick to buying only EF lenses and leave out the EFs variety in case I decided to go FF and boy am I glad I did so. I love the 60D mainly for it's flip screen and I was hoping it would appear on the MK III but I'm told it would have a weatherseal issue, which is a shame. I will keep the 60D for the awkward shots that require you to be double jointed to capture.
Getting back to the 5D3. It is a superb piece of kit. I found it felt 'made to measure' for my rather large hands and the balance with the lenses I use was just something else. I use the 17-40mm f4,50mm f1.4 and the 70-200mm 2.8 IS and the latter,especially,feels so much better on this as opposed to the 60D. The AF on the 5D is so fast and accurate it justifies the upgrade in itself. One thing I did miss was the loss of distance by moving to FF especially with the 200mm becoming a true 200mm as opposed to a 320mm on the 60D cropped camera but the IQ allows you to crop to compensate for this and at the other end the 17-40mm now is a great wide angle as opposed to being a 27-64mm.The same applies to the 50mm which I found I didn't get to use too much on the 60D but I'm sure it will get it's fair share on the 5D. Another great addition is how well the 5d handles the ISO which I've found that my 17-40mm F4 performs more like a 2.8 in comparison to when it's mounted on the 60D. I found the dual card CF and SD to be another great addition. I've gone for a SanDisk Extreme Pro 32GB SDHC Memory Card for the Sd and a SanDisk 16GB 60MB/sec Extreme Compact Flash Memory Card for the CF which I think will cover my needs, and the great thing is I will be able to use all my other SD cards I've aquired for the 60D. I have a non-oem grip mounted which I find completes the camera for me as I've already stated my hands are very large and the additional weight doesn't bother me and I also find the additional battery life very useful. I would think that most people would manage this camera without the grip but after using one on the 60D I've gotten used to it now. The grip I purchased wasPixel Pro Vertax BG-E11 Battery Grip for Canon EOS 5D Mark III Digital Camera from Amazon. I know I'm taking a gamble using a non-oem product on the camera but Canons prices on this item are crazy. If I was a professional who earned his living from his gear I would bite the bullet and buy Canon and offset the high costs with my tax and vat returns.
I wouldn't attempt to try to get into any technical advice in this review as there are plenty of them out there on the net written by people far more qualified than myself. I just want to give a flavour of what I found when I used this great piece of kit. I bought mine from a Canon approved dealer and although painful to the pocket initially, I'm sure the lack of worrying of getting a used or refurbished item from the far east will make up for this pain. I would normally get my gear from Amazon but at the time only Amazon dealers were offering them not Amazon themselves and at this amount of money I wasn't prepared to take the gamble.
To sum up I think this camera justifies it's expense and if you can afford it - get it! I'm sure like myself you won't regret it.

My upgrade path has been 450D -> 7D -> 5D Mark III. My subjects don't sit still or have a lot of patience, so AF speed and accuracy and general handling are big for me. That's why I never was a big fan of the 5D Mark II; I always considered the 7D the better camera of the two, its sensor size disadvantage being more than compensated for by the better AF system and ergonomics. All this changed with the arrival of the 5D Mark III, of which I am now a happy owner, after two rentals made me a convert.
My experiences: AF is vastly improved over the 7D; with fast lenses (135 f/2L, 24-70 f/2.8L II, and others) I can shoot wide open and focus is exactly where I want it to be. AI servo is a treat to use, and I find myself taking more action shots than I ever did before. Shutter lag is almost non-existent, and I have been able to get shots of dancers in mid air consistently through pure timing without using the burst mode. Noise levels are much lower. With the 7D, I'd worry about using ISO800, but with the Mark III, ISO 3200 and even higher is very usable. Finally, even at low ISOs, it seems like the 5D captures more detail than the 4.3 MP advantage over the 7D would seem to indicate. If there is one minor complaint, it is that the jpg photos straight from the camera look a little flat. I believe this is due to very aggressive NR being applied in camera. Shooting RAW results in large files that take noticeably longer to process in Lightroom than my old 7D RAWs. In actual practice, very little if any NR is needed until you get to ISO 1600. Couple this camera with a fast lens, and there is practically no photographic situation that you will not be able to handle.
What Canon appears to have done is to combine the ergonomics of the 7D with the IQ of the 5D Mark II - and then, almost impossibly, improve upon the result. What you have is a camera that does its job very, very well, thus allowing you to focus on yours, which is composition, lighting, and timing. Using this camera is, as a friend of mine put it, like a tiger getting its first taste of human blood. Once you see how much better it is than anything else you've used, nothing less will do.
Update May 2014: Nearly a year after purchasing this camera I feel compelled to add a few more words. Because this camera does what it does so well, it has improved my photography beyond all expectation; it is an absolute joy to simply have to concentrate on the scene and have complete confidence that the camera will capture in beautiful detail what your eyes and mind perceive; I never had this level of trust in the 7D or the 450D. I want to emphasize again the difference in sharpness and contrast between the RAW files and the in camera JPGs. The in camera JPGs use horrendously destructive noise reduction even at very low ISO values. Make doubly certain you are shooting in RAW for anything that is critical.
