NOT GREAT FOR LONG VIDEO SHOOTS..I wanted it for video, but it only shoots 20 minutes and then shuts down. I returned it.
Other than that the footage was great.

When I purchased this camera I was upgrading from the canon 70d (which was a great camera) but I wanted to go full frame. When I first received it the first thing I noticed was that the body was bigger and heavier than my 70d. When you hold this camera it just screams durability! It is definitely built like a tank. It takes amazing pictures, it has tons of features and the auto focus system is extremely fast and accurate (matched with a fast lens). I highly recommend this camera! It is definitely worth every penny!

I've loved this camera. Over the years I've gone from a Rebel XSi to a 60d and the jump in picture quality was huge. Now going from the 60D to the 5D Mark 3 I've seen as big of an improvement. The color and clarity of pictures coming out of any ISO setting is obvious. Taking pics on the 60d at ISO 6400 was dicey and now the noise on the Mark3 is so much better.
The camera is bigger and heavier but it feels well balanced. And thankfully it's made of a metal shell as inexplicably I dropped it 3 days after receiving it and all there were were a few small scratches on the shell. If it had been a plastic body I'm sure it would have cracked.

Much crisper than the MKIII, a little slower but the sharpness is VERY noticeable. I shoot studio and landscape and a def worthwhile upgrade. I will hold onto my MKIII for now and sell when I used it for a month or so.

Haven't used it alot yet but, much as I love my Mark II (I still have it....and will for the foreseeable future), the AF is an incredible improvement....so fast and accurate. A learning experience though, but I'm okay with that. Lots of other improvements as well (I'm still figuring them all out)....some of which affect more the jpeg side of things (that one would usually deal with when processing the raw photo). I'm very glad I made the upgrade. I love this camera.

The item arrived in reasonable time and was as described. There were Japanese import duties but I knew about them when I ordered. I wanted manuals etc for my camera to be in English rather than just Japanese.

This camera was ordered along with Canon's new 100-400 IS L4 zoom lens and the two make a perfect pair for capturing super sharp, hand-held close-ups. I now have two 5DIIIs, the other paired with the 24-104 L4 lens. I'm finding that these two sets are the perfect combinations for my travel photography. I also carry along the 1.4 III extender, just in case.

This is my first full frame DSLR. I'm upgrading from a Canon 50D which I have loved the past 3.5 years. This is a stellar piece of equipment, more so than I expected (and I expected a lot)!
I have now used it for about a week, and have found that there is a little learning curve to upgrade, but it's well worth it. Here are some of my observations:
* Image quality is fantastic. This should be expected from a full frame DSLR with L quality lens. I had heard that the 24-105 is good, but not great for L lenses. But I have found the sharpness, colors, and bokeh to be outstanding.
* This camera feels like a tank. My old 50D felt really good and strong, and took a bit of a beating, but never missed a beat. The 5D mark iii feels much more sturdy, so I know it will hold up to many years of use in wet, cold, snow, sand, woods, and a toddler.
* The shutter is so much quieter than the 50D, even went NOT using the silent shutter mode. The mirror slap is very quiet (maybe not Nikon quiet, but close). I feel like I can be stealthier with this camera.
* The auto focus is amazing. This is especially true with the 1.2.1 firmware. It's so fast to lock on that I often find myself second guessing if it got the lock. And the AI servo mode tracks spectacularly well.
* The buttons are WAY more programable than I expected. There is a menu option that lets you change the functions of EIGHT different buttons. This includes the newly placed DOF preview button, which I never used as a DOF preview, so I'm glad it's no longer useless. It's definitely taking me a bit of time to get used to the new layout (especially the left side buttons), but I'm sure it won't be long until it's natural.
* The bracketed exposures can be set to 2, 3, 5, or 7 exposures! This is great news for me, as I like to take shots for HDR merges. I always found it annoying to mess with the exposure settings to get a series of 7 shots. Using this, I could go -8 1/3 to + 8 1/3 with just holding down the shutter once. That is a huge range!
* Using the electronic level in the viewfinder is a little tricky. It's much easier in live view mode. This could make for a bit of a drain on the battery, although...
* Battery life is outstanding. So far, I have taken 359 shots, and the battery is at 70%. At this rate, I would get approximately 1200 images before depleting the battery. And this is with a lot of image review, settings, etc. So the battery life could be much longer if I wasn't in the menus so much.
* Vignetting is the one major downside I have to contest with. Because I shoot RAW, I have to handle it in post processing. It's not the worst thing, but it is a bit of a pain. This is to be expected wit ha full frame camera and a wide lens.
Overall I am extremely pleased!

Upgraded to the Canon EOS 5D Mark III from a Canon Rebel XTi, and I cannot believe the difference! I thought it was all about the lens, but even with a great lens, I couldn't get that crisp clear shot with my Rebel. My photos are SO clear and sharp with the Mark III. 2 years later, I'm still learning things it can do. I love it!

A great decision to upgrade from the 60D . It takes a while to get the best from this but the results are well worth the effort. Highly recommended!

Some quick observations on the 5D3. Before I go further I should explain I'll be comparing vs. the 5D2 and second, if you need to know about video, I can't be of any help there.
Received camera body from Amazon on 3/23. Lots of new features (5D2 manual is 259 pages; 5D3 manual is 403 pages). For the work I do, I was looking for two improvements over the 5D2: Ability to bracket more than 3 shots and much lower noise. The first wish was granted. As you probably know, the 5D3 does 7 exposures. Nikons do 9, but 7 is almost always enough. Those who need more will probably have a Promote remote anyway. Noise? Well, the 5D3 images are cleaner but I wouldn't say dramatically so. With the default noise settings and long exp NR set on, I'd say it's 1 to 1.5 stops better than the 5D2. Now, with a little Noiseware or other NR, you can get very clean images at 12800 with very little loss of detail so I don't consider this a problem. I guess it was unrealistic to expect the 5D3 to match the very low noise of my D700 but it would have been nice.
It's true that nearly every feature on the 5D3 is an upgrade over the 5D2. Not all of these will result in better images but it's fair to say that the entire "feel" of the 5D3, the layout, viewfinder, displays are all nicer than the 5D2. The two things that may be game changers, IMO, are the shutter and the AF. If you haven't heard and felt the shutter on the 5D3, you're in for a treat. It isn't just quieter; there is much less kick from the mirror. Add the "silent" mode and, wow. I would not be surprised to see signs in the future that say "Please set your camera to silent mode". As for AF, I never had a problem with the AF on the 5D2 so I'm less impressed here. But if you shoot moving subjects, the 5D3 has it all--predictive, wrap around, sequential, selective. The manual devotes 45 pages to setting autofocus.
A small thing that I've been waiting for, a dual axis electronic level is wonderful. For some time, digital SLRs have had an "artificial horizon" that tells you if you are tilting the camera to the left or right. That's nice but in almost all imaging software, rotating an image takes just a second. What these left/right levelers don't tell you is if you are tipping the camera up or down which can be a real pain with a super wide lens. Well, problem solved with the 5D3.
The in-camera HDR is a mixed bag. Output is jpeg only and even at that, it takes awhile for the 5D3 to register the images. (This could be my cards which are Lexar UDMA 400x & Sandisk Extreme IV). Anyhow, it's a fun feature. This brings me to yet another interesting feature. Since the 5D3 has two cards (CF + SD) you can record different file types to each card. In other words, you could have a RAW-only card and a JPEG-only card. I haven't tried this but I presume this would mean that you could shoot everything RAW except in-camera HDRs which, being jpegs, would end up on the other card. I get requests for jpegs so now I can put them on one card while keeping an all-RAW card for myself. You can also have redundant cards for backup, sequential for extra capacity, etc. As with the autofocus options, the possibilities are endless!
So, to summarize. Pros: Better AF, 100% viewfinder with electronic grid (no more screens), better LCD, faster drive and processor, fabulous shutter/mirror, 7-stop bracketing, 2-axis level, somewhat lower noise and thus somewhat cleaner images vs. 5D2, two card slots, uses same batteries as 5D2. Cons: Still no built-in flash (yes, it's very handy), in-camera HDR so-so, mode knob still feels flimsy (and it locks now, so be careful). All in all, this is a very nice, refined camera and anybody trading up from a 5D2 will be happy. And if you do get a 5D3, the person getting your 5D2 will be happy as well.
Just a footnote. One thing that comes through loud and clear from these reviews is how very different people's needs are and how differently they use a camera. I can only explain how a product meets or fails to meet my needs. I would not dream of saying you do/don't need this feature or "read and decide" as if I was some sort of oracle. You know what is or is not important to you and how much you're willing to pay for it. The web has made everybody a professional and an expert but when it's your money, the only expert is you.

Before buying this camera, I had no idea it was so excellent and powerful. Now, I understand why people call it the "beast". I won't repeat here what everybody already knows about the 5D Mark III but I wanted to comment on its capabilities in low light situations. It's just unbelievable! Without any flashes or any external lighting, I'm still able to get usable footage or photos with this thing. Totally worth its price!

Built like a tank and probably the professionals choice.
Heavy, especially when combined with an L lens.
Really cant fault the many functions available, they are many, varied and extensive.
It will take some getting used to - you really will have to read the manual and get plenty of practice in to produce really good shots.
In truth the image quality is no better than that of other cameras in the Canon range that cost a lot less.
Has some very good video functions, which does set it apart from others. It does produce very good movies.
It probably is a little too expensive for what it is.

Look, I'm not qualified to review this camera. Most of the magazines say it's great. You won't buy or not buy this camera based on my review.
This is what I can say. This is not for taking on vacation to take snap-shots with. It is big and really heavy. You'll want some kind of super-strap to carry it with. It's for more serious photography. And, it is hard to hold still. You might want a monopod. So, when I go on an airplane vacation, I take my Canon S95, which is great. If I travel by car and can take all my lenses and a tripod, I'll take this, but taking serious pictures takes serious time.
And, I still haven't figured out all the bells and whistles. It's a lot like my previous camera, the 40D, though, so it's not an insurmountable step to using the basics such as aperture priority or shutter priority.

Its a great camera!! I love everything about it until it gets dark, once its dark focusing is bad!! Even if you try try the old trick of trying to focus on a grooms collar or anything w/ contrast. I have to have someone light up the couple in order to focus. I have even resorted to using manual focus at times. Given the amount of money you pay you would expect better results. I do love being able to use high ISO's w/ out grain and the quick AF system during the daytime.

Like the above says, I had a Canon 7D which I used which shooting for my University's newspaper, which was perfect at that time being I shot everything including sports. I graduated and no longer needs the speed of the 7D and had been obsessing over getting a full frame camera. At that time, I had my eye on the 6D and 5D Mark iii since both were full frames with newer sensors and processors. Both are great cameras but the Mark iii came with a few more bells and whistles.
The 6D has great low light noise performance but I found it does start to lose sharpness as the ISO increase, faster than the Mark iii. The main downfall with the 6D is the 11 point AF system, even though the center focus point was extremely sensitive (-3ev I believe). I thought this wasn't a big deal, being that I did't shoot sports anymore. I started to shoot more weddings and the AF kept up but didn't provide the performance I was hoping for. I also wished the 6D had dual card slots because I always like to back up my images when shooting important events. Don't get me wrong, the 6D is an amazing camera and will produce excellent images. I just advise thinking long and hard about whether to save a little longer and the get mark iii. I wish I had.
I've now had the Mark iii for about three weeks or so and I already love it! The AF is spectacular! Better than the 7D's AF system, and I really loved my 7D and its AF. The low light performance is great, which is expected from the 5D line. I recently had a headshot session and after reviewing my photos I realized not one didn't have the eye tack sharp.
All in all, if you have the money then pull the trigger and purchase this camera instead of the original 5D, 5D mark ii, and 6D. Otherwise you will continue to look at it, and look at it, and look at it, until you finally purchase it. I am a tech gear junkie and love buying the new best and greatest, but I can honestly say it will be a while until I purchase another body. Unless its to buy a second back up body or a Hasselblad or Phase One.
Plus, you cant beat the price it's going for right now! I almost bought two but refrained myself.

Best camera I've ever used, Can shoot 3200 ISO with no correction. 5000-6400 ISO with 30-50 Luminance correction in LR5 Same with 10000 ISO pretty unbelievable. I got it for shooting weddings indoors and events. Has many bells & whistles I never use, like HDR and multiple exposure, supposed to be superb video too.

For those of you familiar with the Canon 5-series, you know one of the main things this series has been lacking is a decent autofocus system. While the Canon 5D Mark II was a game-changing camera, its 9-point autofocus system was extremely lacking. The 5D Mark III solved that problem, completely revamping the autofocus system and giving it virtually the same system as its big brother, the Canon 1DX.
The following review is based on my personal experiences as a photography instructor. I currently own and use the Canon 1DX, the 5D Mark III, and the 7D and have owned the older 5D Mark II, 1DS Mark III, and the 1D Mark IV so I will try to describe how I feel this camera compares to these other possible contenders.
First of all, this is a game changing camera for not just wedding, landscape, and studio photography, but also for WILDLIFE AND BIRDING! I honestly didn't think it could compare to the 1D Mark IV when it came to wildlife and birding but after extensive testing, it kills the 1D Mark IV (and yes, I own both cameras so I'm not knocking the 1D4, just saying, the technology here, several years after the 1D4 came out is superior and it shows.)
HIGH ISO NOISE IMPROVEMENTS:
The best improvement over the 1D Mark IV in this regard is the high ISO noise reduction and the improved autofocus. Noise is non-existent even at ISO 1600 which is about the highest ISO I shoot at for wildlife. Sure, you can remove noise in post but that comes at a cost in IQ so this camera saves some shots that were previously quite difficult to achieve.
AUTOFOCUS:
Autofocus is phenomenal... absolutely phenomenal. There are about 5 tabs in the menu system just for the autofocus system, giving you precision controls you normally didn't have access to. Besides the high-ISO noise improvements, the autofocus is the other improvement that completely destroys the 1D Mark IV.
COLOR ACCURACY AND IMAGE SIZE:
The color accuracy and vibrancy out of the box is great, even shooting with a "neutral" or "faithful" color setting. RAW files are about 24 MB in size, 45 MB if you convert to DNG and embed the original as I do.
OTHER:
The ergonomics are better, more on par with the 7D. The buttons are more responsive, the LCD is clearer and more accurate. The menu system is completely different, although if you've used the 7D, you will notice the similar layout.
5D3 or 1DX:
I was torn between this camera and the new 1DX whenever it comes out. I still plan on replacing the 5D3 with the 1DX after it's been out for a few months just to get the upgraded weather sealing, increased shutter durability, and pro-grade construction but I'm telling you, this camera is going to cost Canon a lot of sales of the 1DX because this camera can do almost everything the 1DX can, at a higher megapixel count and more compact size, at HALF THE PRICE!
"LIGHTLEAK ISSUE"
People who are obsessed with finding anything wrong with these cameras have found that in the first batches, there was an issue where if you shooting in complete darkness and were using the cameras metering (impossible), AND you happened to have the top LCD panel light on, the camera may display a slightly inaccurate metering reading. This is absurd that people are even obsessing over this. First of all, these people don't know how to use a camera and should spend some time learning photography before buying one of this caliber. This is obvious because any experienced photograher knows, you can't use metering in complete darkness anyway because these are long exposure shots that require trial and error to get right. The issue has been fixed by Canon and users of the original batch of cameras can send theirs in to Canon to be fixed for free. Again, this is seriously a non-issue so don't let it scare you off from buying this camera.

For those of you familiar with the Canon 5-series, you know one of the main things this series has been lacking is a decent autofocus system. While the Canon 5D Mark II was a game-changing camera, its 9-point autofocus system was extremely lacking. The 5D Mark III solved that problem, completely revamping the autofocus system and giving it virtually the same system as its big brother, the Canon 1DX.
The following review is based on my personal experiences as a photography instructor. I currently own and use the Canon 1DX, the 5D Mark III, and the 7D and have owned the older 5D Mark II, 1DS Mark III, and the 1D Mark IV so I will try to describe how I feel this camera compares to these other possible contenders.
First of all, this is a game changing camera for not just wedding, landscape, and studio photography, but also for WILDLIFE AND BIRDING! I honestly didn't think it could compare to the 1D Mark IV when it came to wildlife and birding but after extensive testing, it kills the 1D Mark IV (and yes, I own both cameras so I'm not knocking the 1D4, just saying, the technology here, several years after the 1D4 came out is superior and it shows.)
HIGH ISO NOISE IMPROVEMENTS:
The best improvement over the 1D Mark IV in this regard is the high ISO noise reduction and the improved autofocus. Noise is non-existent even at ISO 1600 which is about the highest ISO I shoot at for wildlife. Sure, you can remove noise in post but that comes at a cost in IQ so this camera saves some shots that were previously quite difficult to achieve.
AUTOFOCUS:
Autofocus is phenomenal... absolutely phenomenal. There are about 5 tabs in the menu system just for the autofocus system, giving you precision controls you normally didn't have access to. Besides the high-ISO noise improvements, the autofocus is the other improvement that completely destroys the 1D Mark IV.

This Canon looks a lot like its predecessor on the outside, but offers plenty of improvements under the hood. It's a solid option for advanced shooters with an investment in Canon glass, but doesn't match the rapid-fire shooting capabilities of the EOS-1D X or Nikon D4.
Pros:
Compact for a full-frame SLR. 22-megapixel resolution. Large optical viewfinder. Bright, high-res rear LCD. Fast autofocus. 6fps continuous shooting. Excellent high ISO performance. 1080p video recording.
Cons:
Expensive. Slow focus in Live View and Video modes. No built-in flash. Not compatible with EF-S lenses.
Worth comparing to the Nikon D4 to get an idea of areas this Camera may differ - found here: http://amzn.to/1jCFIu8

Великолепно
Great camera! Only change I would make to this body would be to add more frames per second. If it shot at least 8 frames per second like my 7D this would be the perfect camera for the cost!!! But then again I use this body for portraits and other types of photography more than I do sports. My 7D is my sports camera which is awesome too just not as clean (more noise) shooting under the lights at night.
