I bought one in the end
It is a really great camera but it isn't massively better than a 7D. I tried the 5D MKII but i really couldn't cope with it after the 7D, the snail like AF was impossible.
The MK3 is a better 7D with a full frame. Low light is excellent, the AF is really good - it is very hard to fault for photography. I don't do a lot of video but it is easier to use than the 7D and it is used professionally too so I guess that must be pretty good too.I now get to worry about vignetting and all my lenses are shorter which is a bit annoying.
I sleep with it next to my bed. Four stars as it is ragingly expensive and I feel guilty I bought it. £2300 is more than I spent on my car and it is three times the price of the 7D which is mad
In truth, my pictures are no better but I have probably managed a few keepers that I wouldn't have got with the 7D and I have spent £2300 and need to upgrade my L lenses or at least get something over 200.
Is this worth £2300 when the 7D is £7-800? No it isn't but if you can afford it who gives a crap :)
UPDATE After Christmas shooting 2013
It is a really great camera and I love it
being brutal the 7D is a much better buy than this even though the 5D is a better camera.
I had my 7D since they first came out and all my lenses are based around the crop sensor - I have never bought EF-S lenses only EFs so all my lenses work on either camera BUT...... the different perspectives you get FF v Crop and the fact that moving to FF you lose a lot of reach means you will need to invest in more glass field of view on a FF is 70-200 on that lens..........112 to 320mm on a 1.6 crop. i was using 50mm for portraits now I will need to get an 85 as well
I guess then point here is that MkII to MKIII is a no brainer as you have all the lenses anway.......... 7D to MKIII isn't as clear cut as you are making two upgrades. I guess this why a lot of sports and wildlife shooters use 7D a 300mm on the 7D with a 1.4 extender gives you 672mm. Trying that on a FF camera will cost you about £8k

I have to say, after purchasing this camera i thought i made a huge mistake and all those months of saving up had plundered into the drain, but then i started using the camera.
After seeing it focus well i was able to capture great detail with both my 100mm Macro and 24-105mm lenses. [Great full frame'ness] It's brilliant to be able to get more in your shot without having to back away from the subject, especially with macro shots.
Build quality is good, feels solid in the hands [like the 7d] good grippy texture.
Video mode is fun to play with too, with HD 1080p video playback.

Worked really hard to afford this pro camera. Made a huge difference with my glass from the Canon 40D to this. Purchased from Amazon instead of local because of the extended warranty offer.

Ive gone from the Canon 20D to the Canon5D to the 5dmk2 and recently made the decision to upgrade to the Canon5dmk3. Both of my 5Dmk2 shutter lives were over the 150,000 "clicks" from Canon so I used that to justify my upgrade. I sent in the 5d2 for service as I am going to keep one of them for backup and to second shoot.
I have reviewed things before like the Canon 70-200mm f2.8 v2 lens HERE. Once again this review doesn't contain any charts and scientific mathematical optical graphs comparing the 5dmk2 to the 5dmk3. But I do have real world (for me) tests.
Ive had 5 sessions with the new 5DMK3...here is MY mini review with 5 images (edited in LR and CS6)
1) Focus is light years better than mk2. Canon finally got it right. My 50mm 1.2 that I never use because of poor performance with my mk2 (even after sending it in to Canon to have them calibrate it together) is now spot on. You can pick your focus point with your zoom or primes at IT NAILS IT. Using the dials I can pick the tiny red square where I want it to focus on my portraits and guess what? It nails it! No more trying to lock focus at 2.8 or wider then recomposing, zooming in, trying it again, over and over. Although it is a hard habit to break from 4 years with the 5dmk2s. But I finally feel confident when the shutter clicks (which is probably how most Nikon users already feel).
2) The camera seems "faster".The shutter makes a more "confident" sound without being louder... and is quicker. Sounds like a "quiet" machine gun that the other cameras (like Nikon) must sound like when shooting multishot.
3)The screen is gorgeous, bright, and HUGE. The magnification with one press takes you right into a zoom. No more plus, plus,plus,plus,plus to look at eyes then minus,minus,minus,minus,minus to back out. It looks amazing and clear...even outdoors in bright sun at the beach. Its like going from a 13inch laptop screen to a 30inch monitor. The only thing that it a hard habit to break is Canon moved the magnifying glass to the other side of the camera so I keep pressing the wrong button with my thumb to magnify. It is now on the left which will take some time getting used to.
4)The 70-200 firing INTO direct sun at sunset was a little slow to focus and had a little difficulty. The primes 85 and 50 did not. The 85 is my go to lens for my portrait work so I don't see that being to much of an issue for me. Also the 24mm 1.2 L performed amazing with the 5d3 as it had some of the same problems on the 5d2 as the 50mm 1.2 did.
5) The "cloudy" WB setting in RAW (which is what I usually shoot under for nice skin tones) comes out a little too "orange" with the 5d3. I went back to AWB. I can adjust in LR if needed or I may just set it myself in camera slightly cooler than 5500K. But it is noticeable to me.I am trilled with the camera at this point. The focus issue is worth the upgrade to me. The images are gorgeous...just like the 5d2. I really didn't expect to see a HUGE difference in the quality of the final image. For me and my workflow it is the ease of use and speed that I GET those images that is a huge plus for me.
*I think you have two choices: Trade to the Nikon system OR get the 5d3 to stay with Canon. I have shot with Nikon before. It feels like that when shooting with the 5d3-fast, confident, spot on focus. Everything else is the beautiful images that canon users have learned to love and the fast prime lenses love this camera as well.

I use the 5D III fairly regularly to create internal news and information videos for the two high-street retailers I work for. Teamed with a decent lens (L-series) the camera provides footage with a film-like quality. All the experts (Philip Bloom etc) advise to switch all the settings pretty much to 'flat' (saturation etc) for maximum post-production flexibility; this is something I would recommend doing unless you're seriously pressed for time or don't have experience of colour-correction. It also (!) takes beautiful photos thanks to its full-frame sensor, but you probably don't need convincing on that.
There's lots that could be said about what this doesn't have when it comes to film-making. No 4k. No focus peaking (although you could get round that by using an Atomos external recorder), and if that's your bag then you might want to look at the GH4 / A7s.
But there's something quite purist about the 5D III. So, to cut to the chase, for photography, it's a resounding yes. But if you're thinking of video too, then do plenty of research into all the options.

I absolutely love this camera. The ISO capabilities on this camera are unbelievable. I owned the mark II of this version before it and it always had problems focusing, no matter what lens I used with it. I could not be more happy with this camera. One of my favorite new features of this camera is the button in the center of the modes dial. With the Mk II sometimes I would bump the dial and accidentally change the mode from Manual to another and mess up the photos until I chimped the back of the screen and saw my pictures were pitch black or completely blown out. I also love the double exposure feature this has that the Mk II does not have. It allows a lot more artistic shots. The dual card slots is also worth its weight in gold. I have not had one memory card fail on me yet, but I love having the option to write to two cards so if one fails I have a backup to save me. (This is so important for weddings!) This is a wonderful camera, I know this review is not as technical as many others of this camera, but if you are looking for a great full frame camera but do not want to spend 6k on the 1dx this camera is the one for you.

I recently upgraded from a Canon 7D to this 5D - I have been contemplating this for a while and thought how much better could my photos be with the 5D.
Well - WOW - I am so impressed with the 5D, I didn''t think it would be possible to achieve the quality of photo I am now getting - don't get me wrong the 7D was a great camera, but I was starting to see a lot of noise in my photos, and looking at others the noise from the 5D was minimal or non-existent.
I use L series lenses, and I am so pleased I splashed out and bought this camera, so if like me you are tempted to upgrade, and you have the cash to spare, then buy it - you will NOT be disappointed. One small gripe the CR2 files couldn't be read on my version of photo elements, so I had to upgrade, but after spending £***** on this camera what's an extra £45.00 for the software.
I also tried out the video - and this is a vast improvement on the 7D, as I always found when panning you often lost focus, but on my first test, the focus was 100% throughout the panning.
There are several focussing options, which after practising with I am getting to grips with.
All in all I am DELIGHTED with my new purchase.
Sorry Amazon - I didn't purchase from you as found it £500 cheaper at HDEW - which I can recommend - great customer service and I got it in less than a week!

I own a Canon 50D a several different lenses. I rented this camera for 4 days and shot over 4,000 pictures with it. The majority of those pictures came from low light environments. The first event was a Halloween safe night for a local town. I used my 24-70mm f2.8 and 580ex II flash. The only time I found the 5d3 seeking focus was when I was outside in the dark with barely any street light. Had no issues inside a dimly lit fellowship hall with a fog machine going. ISO4000 and some ISO5000. If there is any digital noise in my images it is minimal. Very acceptable and much better than my 50d at ISO800. If there is any noise, it's like a very, very fine grain and there is still a lot of detail in the face.
The next situation was at a high school stadium at night. I usually use my 50d along with my 24-70mm 2.8 lens, but when I rented the 5d3 I had also rented the 70-200mm f2.8. Fantastic combo! Focus system did well and I used the camera to capture our marching band performance and photos of seniors and their parents. So many shots I would have either not gotten or had to have thrown away due to the struggle that my 50d seems to have in a low light environment. I was very impressed and now would also love to own the 70-200mm.
What made me really love this camera was shooting Bandmasters in Memphis, a big marching band competition. I shot using my 100-400mm lens throughout the entire competition. After dark I was still able to use the lens. This was at The Liberty Bowl in Memphis and lighting is much better there than in the high school football stadium. At ISO4000 using the 100-400mm most times I was able to get a shutter speed close to 1/400 or higher at f8. This varied if the uniforms were darker or lighter, but I was really impressed with the sharpness and how much less digital noise I saw in the images than my 500d at ISO800.
I've had my 50d over 4 years now and this 5d3 really brought the quality of my photography to a whole new level. The focus issues and quality I've desired with my photography were achieved this weekend. Hope to eventually purchase this camera.

I bought a 6D for my wife for Christmas 10 minutes before Canon offered a $300 rebate on their cameras. I cancelled the 6D and ordered a 5D Mark III. The 6D came in anyway, along with the Mark III and I was about to send back the 6D, but I found myself having so much fun with the MarkIII that I decided to keep it....
We have both Cameras now and have enjoyed our time taking and comparing photos. The Mark III definitely has some advanced features that I'm sure she will not use ever. The 6D does have better low-light exposure and is probably a tad easier to use.
Happy with the purchase.

This camera is flexible, fun and offerings clean imagery. Having lots of fun learning how to master the use of this camera. Watching videos and learning how to become a pro! It's worth the purchase. I am sad there is no wi-fi capabilities. Maybe this is the only downfall. Great camera. Great full frame capacities.

I Have been waiting for a long time to buy this camera since it came out. I am not a Professional yet as I am still learning the photography, but this camera is by far the best thing since slash bread. I love this camera. I hold many different camera in my hands but I fall in love with this before I even take a shot. Its kind of like a beautiful girl you are looking at from a distance; she looks great and you start getting to know her and find out that she has a great personality. And when thing get serious... well, you know what i mean, and you realize she got the whole package. You can't believe what you just discover. You never want to leave her.. This 5D Mark III will do that to you. Photograph is my hobby and I take it very serious. Using this camera with a 70-200mm f/2.8 IS II , and 85mm f/1.8, 100mm f/2.8 Macro is a thing of beauty. I would recommend this camera to anyone that serious about photography and who don't settle for nothing but the best. If you have the money to spend on this camera, don't even think about consider other option just get this one.. you will not regret the money you spend into this camera. This camera is also build to last.. I will post more review as after longer use of this camera but for the past six months i had this camera, it doesn't bring me anything but joy. I have the T2i and i wanted to upgrade to a full frame; i still using my T2i but this camera sometimes make me forget about my T2i which is still an awesome camera.

I have just started photography again after blowing some of my retirement pot on this item.
There is a lot to learn, things have moved on apace since I last wielded my Canon 450d in anger.
I have purchased a field guide, which I take to bed with me most nights (sad!) and I am learning a lot.
Even with my limited knowledge I am starting to turn out half-decent efforts, and I am now beginning to fine-tune the camera to reflect my style.
I really enjoy what this camera has produced so far, and look forward to a long and happy retirement with the canon 5d Mk111 as a trusty companion.
My camera was purchased from an American firm.

I bought a 7D two years ago as my entry to the world of high-end DSLRs. The camera's engineering and ergonomics were awesome and it produced some great images for me. However, that full-frame sensor on the 5D has been calling my name ever since. I sold the 7D on ebay last month and bought a Mark III. If any 7D owner is wondering whether the upgrade is worth the price, I say absolutely. The camera operates almost exactly like my 7D and so I had little or no learning curve. In some ways, the interface is improved (sub-menus, for example). The rear screen gives a better view of the finished picture. So what did I get besides a camera that works as I expect? Image quality. In spades. The full-frame sensor is magnificent, and with the 35MM 1.4L lens and the 2.8 24-70 L II lens, produces incredibly sharp, detailed images. Seriously beautiful stuff. The camera brings out the best in 'L' glass -- I see it in the images, but look at the DXO ratings for confirmation. The 2.8 24-70 lens gives me better results in almost all shooting modes than I got on the 7D. The extra usable ISO makes up for the lack of IS on the 2.8 lens -- but since grandchildren are often the subjects, IS is not much use anyway. The focus system is much more accurate and easily controlled and the images (I use RAW) require less post-processing than with the 7D. There will be some additional distortion and light falloff in the corners, but with LR, PS, or DXO these problems disappear on RAW images with the click of a button. I would often start editing a picture from the 7D and puzzle about what it needed to 'pop' -- the 5D's added dynamic range and its metering system produce images that are closer to 'right' at first look. I have far less need to adjust exposure, contrast, and WB than I typically did with the 7D. An impressive pickup is the wider usable ISO range of the larger sensor. I didn't want to go much above ISO 800 on the 7D because of noise, but I am getting several additional (3-4) stops before seeing much noise with the 5D. This makes the camera almost perfect for indoors available-light shooting. So, I have a camera that is as familiar to me as my 7D, and as well-engineered, but produces significantly better images. While I wouldn't have been comfortable using the 7D in auto-ISO mode, I can do so with the 5D. This body was twice the money of the 7D but is equally refined in terms of build quality, engineering, ergonomics, and the image quality of the 5D III matches the rest of the engineering. The sensor may not have the high pixel count of some of the Nikon's, but the sensor has artistic chops. It can produce breathtaking detail, sharpness, and color.

If you are on the fence between the 5D Mark III and the 6D, perhaps my experiences will help:
This is the second 5DIII I've purchased and I've also owned the 7D, 6D and 70D (all of which I've sold to fund this beast). Take it from someone who has lost hundreds of dollars buying a 5DIII, then selling it for a 6D, and then selling the 6D for a 5DIII again after realizing how much I really missed the 5DIII; there is simply no comparison when it comes to AF performance, unless you are willing to spend twice as much on a 1DX, which also has the same AF system as within the 5DIII!
So if you are trying decide between the 6D or 5DIII and you already have some good glass first and foremost (AND you can afford either), seriously...just buy the 5DIII. You won't regret it. If you plan on using the outer AF points instead of just the center one (especially for fast glass, like the 85 f/1.2L II), it's a no-brainer...the 5DIII wins hands down. However, if you are willing to compromise and rely mostly, if not solely, on the center AF point and just crop as needed, then by all means save yourself a few hundred bucks and go with the 6D, and use the remainder for some other photographic goodies, such as the aforementioned 85L or 24-70 f/2.8L II (both are stunning combinations)! The image quality differences between the two are negligible at best, so it really comes down to the static features (or lack thereof) that they offer and your particular needs:
5DIII - more robust body, superior AF system, faster X-sync speed, dual card slots, RAW video w/ Magic Lantern, etc.
6D - smaller and lighter body, center cross-type AF point sensitive to -3 EV (but only the center point), allows interchangeable focusing screens for improved manual focusing, etc.
I hope this helps. Either way you decide, you'll have an amazing tool for capturing your artistic vision. Good luck!

What can I say, WOW. I've been taking pictures since the 70's, from 35mm, Medium Format, to the first digitals up to this Fantastic camera. You can't go wrong if you can afford it. I've owned about a dozen camera's, from another manufacturer, and this one blows them all away.

5D Mark III
I like the feeling about the shutter, the body is heavy yet solid. I used 6D before and change to 5D Mark III.
It turned out 6D is like the toy....5D Mark III did outperformed 6D in every aspect.
I don't regret buying 6D, but now I am fancy 5D Mark III more.

I Felt like I had been kicked in the teeth when Nikon announced their 36MP D800,so much so that I held off until Jan '13 buying the 5D MKIII.Im a Canonian purely on their superb "L" quality lenses,Not only do they have superb Image quality,but most of the "L" lenses are fully dust & weather sealed.The build quality is superb, take the 70-200 F2.8 for example, as well as being a fantastic lens,is a thing of tactile and visual beauty,an absolute pleasure to use.I was fully expecting the Canon to have more MPs,and stupidly held off purchase.I can tell you the following,from user experience,& real world comparisons that the Canon is 100% more capable in lower light than the Nikon,the Canons noise profile is more like a film look,the Nikon produces an ugly chroma type noise,at times producing random splattering of noise.Lets not forget though I talking about two very high quality,pro grade cameras here!so when Im talking about noise its a different case scenario to your £300 compact.The D800 does lead in the dynamice range unto about ISO 400,then the Canon overtakes it on an escalating scale as the ISOS increase.The Canon 5D does not have an built in flash,big deal?Seriously you will never see a real photographer using a built in flash,they are best kept for Compacts,and Im glad I dont have to mess with menus to keep disabling it like I do on the 7D.The Canons autofocus is way ahead of the Nikon,with the camera way in front when it comes to fast tracking etc.Finaly,shooting speed,the Canon wins,6FPS,not only is it faster,but has a far superior buffer,the Canon will keep shooting even when the buffer is full,it will keep shooting at a reduced frame rate.The Nikon will grind to a complete halt,and at times this has been reported to be for a couple of minutes whilst it sorts its self out.The 5D MKIII is the real low light weapon of choice,Its autofocus is nothing short of outstanding.The build quality of both cameras is excellent as well.They are 2 very different cameras,I feel the 5D MKIII is the camera of choice for wildlife,sports,autosport,birding,walkabout shooting etc.I feel the Nikon would suit the Studio better,or as a tripod mounted landscape camera,I also believe that if you are purchasing the D800 purely on its higher MP count,then I believe you are best to go the extra for the D800E without the anti aliasing filter.You would of course also be using this camera with the very best prograde Nikkor Glass.The same goes for the 5DMKII as well,if you do not have "L" lenses,i see little point in you purchasing this camera,you would be better of investing in glass and getting a 650D.The 5D MKIII is a superb camera,each time i use it i love it more and more.I fully understand why canon done what they done with the new Gapless lens technology on the new sensor,its outstanding,and the movie mode is a class above everything else!

This is an exceptional camera following in the lineage of the previous two iterations of the model, each with subsequent models markedly improving on the earlier. This should not be underestimated as certainly the the MKII was an excellent camera too.
Particular highlights of the camera I've found are, of course, its full frame CMOS which results in excellent performance in low light conditions with high ISO ratings resulting in very good photographs indeed with minimal noise. Fast shooting is a notable improvement over the previous model with at least 6 frames per second sustained for a remarkably long period. I thought the build quality of the MK2 was very good and if anything this camera exceeds that. There seems to have been a gradual evolution of the position of the camera function buttons, or maybe I'm getting used to Canon's way of thinking, because now its second nature quickly and easily actioning the function I want without needing to look at the camera for an overlong period. All this helps in quickly taking the photos you want to take without missing a moment.
HD video is of such quality I can see why stand-alone video cameras are becoming redundant. On my large-screen TV playback quality it brilliant. The only minor issue is that the camera is not as well suited in form to a bespoke video camera - it just feels slightly clumsy using it for video. However, I'm not into videoing big time so this isn't really a problem for me.
There are to additions I'd advise other buyers to consider. First, the camera needs a good lens and whilst after paying this much for a camera it might be tempting to go for a cheap(ish) 30 to 80 zoom it really it worth buying a lens which matches the quality of the camera. Without this I don't think you'll get the best of the functions you're paying for. Also a large and fast memory card is needed. With fast shooting and a multitude of focussing options I've started to become short of storage capacity, and battery power, taking multiple photos of the same subject but the ability to select the best shot is well worth it.
Overall I find it difficult to see how Canon can improve on the EOS 5D III and it truly deserves 5 stars.

I recently sold my Canon 7D and saved up to get this camera. After hearing so much talk about how much better the D800 is and how the Mark III is not worth the money, I decided to give it a shot rather than be influenced by comments on the web by people who never shot with the camera. Upon first inspection after opening my kit I was impressed at how sturdy and professional the camera felt. I always felt the 7D was very tough and sturdy but the 5D takes it to another level. The grip is great and sticks to your hand. It also covers the batter compartment. The camera grip has a great indent for your hand and an excellent thumb rest. Overall ergonomics are fantastic and the camera has a slick look but is bigger than the 7D at every dimension. No confusing this with an entry or midlevel camera. It screams pro, even without a grip.
The settings were easy to navigate and the dials are all in familiar places for the most part. The new zoom requires an extra keypress but I found it better to use the wheel than the old zoom in/out buttons once you get used to it. The new rate button on the left side seemed a bit useless to me but I reprogrammed it to protect images. The LCD was big and bright and shows lots of crisp detail when zooming in. Also very usable for macro with it's quick focus zoom. The best LCD I have ever seen on a camera. The Viewfinder also big and bright. Huge improvement over what you see using a cropped sensor. This is one of the many reasons to go full frame.
Now onto using the camera. Coming from the 7D I enjoyed pretty good autofocus but the 5D Mark III dominates it in every way. It is super fast, accurate and locks on in really dim light. There are several action modes to select for the autofocus that react to the type of movement that you choose. Really groundbreaking stuff. I found nothing negative to say about it. I spent an afternoon shooting a kids party outdoors with the 24-105 f/4. The kids were running around like maniacs and I came away with many great in focus shots.
In the past when using Auto ISO in manual mode I was nervous when it went to 3200 because of noise. No such case with this camera. Indoor photos without a flash are no problem. Especially when you use a nice bright prime. I can shoot ISO 6400 all day and it will look like ISO 1600 on a 7D. I know most people dont shoot Jpeg but if you ever want some painless shots of your kids or family and dont want to mess around with too much post processing, this camera produces the finest jpegs you will find in a camera. Obviously raw files are sharper and I found the RAW files from the MKIII to be sharp and contrasty. Noise is well controlled though obviously noisier than the jpegs. Overall the image quality is excellent.
A new addition to the camera I thought was awesome was the silent mode shooting. It does reduce your frame rate to 3 FPS but what you get in return in this mode is virtually silent performance with much less shutter vibration. A really awesome and underrated feature. One of the many improvements people forget to mention about this camera.
I have to say there is something special to me about the 5D Mark III. It's a camera that I just have fun with. Its fast, easy to use, produces great results at perfect file sizes. Gives you various options for jpeg and RAW to meet your needs. I'm sorry I cannot review the video but I have not had a chance to test it in detail in order to provide one.
I know people constantly say that it's $500 more than the Nikon D800 but the truth is that it really isnt. In the end you will end up spending more on Nikon gear because it's just more expensive. Just an example.
D800 + 24-120 f/4 = $4,299
5D MKIII kit with 24-105 f/4 = $4,299
Nikon 24-70 f/2.8 = 1,899
Canon 24-70 f/2.8 = 1,375
add the grip, other lenses and a flash and you pay more than the Canon equivalents.

You can count on this camera when you need it most. I have found this to be my most reliable camera I have ever owned. At last check it had over 200K shutter clicks with no problem! I still use it daily.

Purchased this camera for my wife over a year ago. Came in record time and was well packaged. She has been using it ever since and absolutely loves it. I personally don't know a lot about photography, but just from what she says it was definitely a great investment and has been a quality tool for her business. Highly recommended if you are into photography.
