Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Canon EOS 5D Mark III

The 5d Mark III has great specs as we all know, but is the build quality sufficient for professional use? Short answer - no. It's the little bits and pieces that simply cannot stand up to extended use. The two big issues that everybody is talking about are the joystick and the mode dial. The cover to my mode dial fell off after light use (no drop, no water damage, just regular use). The cover is a thin piece of metal that has the modes on it (Av, Tv, M, etc.). It is not essential for the camera to function but without it it is difficult to tell which mode you are in. When I sent my camera into Canon I was expecting the cost of repair to reflect the nature of the piece that fell off. When I got word from Canon that it would cost $250 to have the cover replaced, I was shocked. When I expressed my disappointment to them, they began negotiating the price and eventually told me they could do it for around $200 so I told them to send the camera back unrepaired.Several of my friends and colleagues have also had their mode dial covers fall off so this is evidently a common issue. None of them have been willing to pay the cost of repair and have decided to simply tape a piece of paper to the mode dial so they can know which mode is which. It is a shame that customers who spent over $3,000 on their cameras must take this route, lest they spend hundreds of dollars on a little metal cap.I have found that the build quality has drastically decreased from the Mark II to the Mark III. I did not previously see myself switching brands but have some serious thinking to do.

I had been using Nikon gear since 1985. I was about to get into Nikon's FF DSLR just after the release of the D600. I waited as I wasn't sure if it or the D800 was more suitable. The fiasco that followed with the D600 in terms of oil and dust in the shutter mechanism was only amplified by Nikon's poor handling of the situation. While I continued to lean toward the D800, I just could no longer resolve Nikon's business attitude with its customers and instead bought the 5D Mark III.I am barely into using it, but I have to say thus far my results with some preliminary use with the Canon 40mm/F2.8 and Sigma 24-105/F4 lenses is making me smile. I have yet to find something disliking, but I am not going to go looking for trouble. Let's just hope for the best, which is more than what Nikon D600 owners could say.

After turning in my Canon 40D (yes there was a time when Canon 40D was a "top of the line" in SLRs!) to be repaired for second time I began to muse along the lines of "if the repairs are costing me ~$300 each, shouldn't I invest in the new camera?" The answer came back as a quick "yes." So, next question: "Since my Canon 40D turned out to be such a pile of... of... of... um... 'feces' should I go with Canon again?" The answer came as a "no" followed by a "but." You see, although I am not a professional photographer, I did manage to get suckered into purchasing a bunch of really expensive Canon lenses over the years. SO as much as I would have loved to switch to Nikon, buying a new set of high-end lenses would prove to be prohibitive. My musings were interrupted by another notice of "Error99" by my Canon40D, indicating that either I buy a new camera, or I should be prepared to shell out another ~250-300 for repair of the old one. And, given my investment in Canon lenses, it will have to be another Canon. With heavy heart, I searched the internet for a new camera, reading the reviews of available Canon products, and finally settled on Canon EOS 5D Mark III. The camera arrived 10 days ago and I am glad to report that, despite my dismal experience with its 40D predecessor, "5D MarkIII" appears to be an almost different (and better) animal. Here is my, amateur take on it. So far.PROs: -- shooting at mind-bogglingly high ISOs does make need for a flash so last-century -- crisp-edge images -- sturdy body -- more intuitive interface -- marginal changes of buttons and dials compared to prior versions of Canon SLRs, making conversion from my old 40D to this new beastie a breeze.CONs: -- the prices is an absolute downer! Judging by the impressions I got from reading numerous posts on countless forums and blogs (and my own feelings about this new purchase) I'd rather have NO video capability (which, in this model, lacks an intuitive dynamic AutoFocus and, therefore, seriously limits the use of this feature), NO dual card use (in Mark III one can use two different media cards, but um... so what?...), and FEWER other cosmetic bells and whistles if it meant ~$1000 less for the camera. Of course this is just my personal opinion...

I love this camera! In addition to all the other praise others have heaped on it, I have been impressed at how good it is for photographing wildlife, particuarly birds in flight, where you need to balance weight (this is quite solid, though much lighter and more nimble than a 1-series pro body), autofocus (this has the same cutting edge AF system as Canon's flagship 1Dx), ISO (yes, it really is as good as folks say), crop factor (this is a full frame so you don't get any extra apparent reach from a crop sensor like you would with a 7D of 1D Mark I through Mark IV, but the greater clarity of the images allows you to blow the shots up enough to largely offset that) and frames per second (it won't shoot 10 fps like my 1DIII body will, but 6 fps is still very fast and all I need for all but the most unusual situations). I'd like to field test it against the 1Dx (hey, wouldn't we all like that!), but I cannot think of any other body that might be better than this one for BIF photography.

I purchased this camera in March 2014. I had a T4i and wanted something more. I was set on the new 70D but opted out of that and decided to take the plunge with the 5D Mark III and glad I did. The 22.3 megapixel resolution is amazing and the color pops from your photographs. The wide ISO range was a significant reason I chose the 5D Mark III and in low light shooting with minor adjustments, the 5D Mark III performs like no other camera I have owned and/or operated, it is in a class all by itself. The 6 fps is a nice jump from the 5 fps with the T4i. I shoot a lot of field and motorsports and needed a versatile camera with the glass I have in my bag, the 5D Mark III was at this point, a no brainer. I highly recommend this camera to anyone who is advanced or pro.

I have many Canon lenses but the geek side of me always wants the best tech out there. I have an old Nikon D50 from 2005 that I thought was awesome in its day but once I started shooting again I grabbed the Canon 7D about 3 years ago and never looked back. I have now moved to full frame and had been struggling on deciding Nikon D800e or Canon 5D MIII. I have a friend with the Nikon so I got to play with it a bit. Needless to say I like the product but like my 7D more when it came to speed and versatility. On a leap of faith I decided to go with the 5D MIII as it seemed to be close to the 7D in operation. I care about the best all around pictures also and sites like DXOMark really kept me holding out on the 5D MIII as the Nikon D800 and D800e rock the charts. I want to say right not those charts are not everything. I get great shots on the 5D mark III ( better then my 7D) and I liked the shots out of my 7D better than my friends Nikon D800e at the time I used it and even now based on what she takes. I know some Nikon fans are going to flame what I just said but this was just based on my one time use of the D800e (which was not as comfortable for me to use). I also did not sit down and do test with equivalent lenses. My 7D has some really nice prime L glass I use and the Nikon had a zoom lens at the time. I have seen some awesome shots come from that thing so I know it does the job but now when I see the Canon 5D (straight out of cam) shots it seems to appeal to me. I usually shoot RAW so this is RAW not jpeg. When I tested jpeg it seems Canon still has the old edge it had before with how the in cam software cleans up.It boils down to the 5D MIII being better then I expected and as versatile as my needs require. I'm sure in time I would have been happy with the D800e but I can't say I would be as happy as I am now.I'm no a fan of any brand but I do like some things that each company does. What I would give for a 5DMIII that has the resolution and dynamic range potential of a D800e or a D800e that has the great Software ISO enhancement and FPS of the 5DMIII. I take mostly event stuff so ultra high 36MP does not help me but it would be awesome to have, says the geek in me.

I purchased this camera in December 2012. Prior to this I had owned a Canon 50D for four years, and a Rebel XTi for two years before that. I had always lusted after the 5D cameras and dreamed of owning one. The price can be a little intimidating on a camera like this, but after using one for nine months now I am completely blown away by it. It has exceeded my expectations in every way. On my XTi and 50D I got to the point on both of them where I felt my skill exceeded the limits of the camera. With the 5D3 however, it has definitely given me that creative refresh where I am able to explore the limits of what can indeed be done with a modern DSLR. The build quality is rock solid, the grip is very comfortable in my large hands. The 100% viewfinder is beautiful, along with the rear LCD which makes reviewing photos a pleasure. The AF is very sophisticated and will require some getting used to if you're coming from a camera with a lesser system like the 50D. But once you learn your way around it, you'll realize it can keep up with anything. When I transfer files from my memory card to the computer, I am consistently floored by the absolutely amazing amount of detail the sensor is capable of picking up. Paired with my retina macbook pro, I actually sit with my jaw wide open while reviewing the details at 100%. I'm not a big video guy, but the short videos I have taken with the camera look phenomenal. This is the kind of camera you buy and want to hold onto forever. I surely will be.

The 5Dmk3 is simply amazing, but I want to talk about the amazing concierge service for big-ticket items. I was hesitant committing such a large $ amount without having a physical item in my hands, and my concern was multiplied when my new camera had some odd issue with spots in the viewfinder. I called Amazin and the not only had a RA email in my email within minutes, they also shipped out a new camera to me that hour, overnight delivery before I had my rerun camera packed up and shipped back. I want to say that if you are hesitant in ordering a large ticket item from Amazon..don't wait. They simply have the best customer service I have ever encountered.

This camera takes fantastic photos. I am a professional photographer for industrial photography as well as wildlife photography. It is all that I could ever expect for. It is nice to have the files large enough to crop quite a bit as well as edit in Photoshop and still keep the quality. I shoot in Raw format and this thing is awesome. I want another one also!!! Mine has been around the world also and is a little larger than some, however, it is worth bringing it anywhere I go with a high quality camera. It also takes first rate videos also. Only drawback for video is that is does shut itself down after 30 minutes of recording and need to plan for that for longer recordings such as presentations or such and it restarts immediately by starting it again, you just have to catch it when it shuts down.

My previous camera was a Canon Rebel Xsi which I have used for years. I got hooked on photography so then I decided to invest on this "semi-pro" model. So this review is intened for those like me, beginners.1) Its much heavier that the Rebel series; and noticably larger too. I get the feeling that its more delicate despite the fact that it is definatley better built. Maybe its the price I paid for it but I get the feeling that if I drop it even a few inches it will break. (I hope I never test this theory). On the other hand my lighter Rebel was treated like an old book and never once gave me problems.2) Dont expect to be able to use any EF-S lenses that you might have purchased, ( I knew this before I bought mine but I want to make sure everyone understands this). The camera only uses EF lenses (as opposed to EF-S). The quality of these lenses is much better, especially the L series that the kit comes with. Again, these lenses are also considerably larger.3) The full size APS sensor DEFINATELY makes a positive difference. Expect to see more of the picture but with less zoom (because of the full type sensor).4) On full auto mode picture just come out better. It definately makes a huge difference when taking pictures in dim areas.5) There is no built in flash on this camera, you have to buy one if you need it. Or you can use the ones you might have purchased before. You should use Canon ETTL lenses for best results. Anything less and the camera does not have the ability to control its brightness. This usually results in pictures that are too bright.6) Be prepared to use at least 8GB SD cards. The larger sized pictures and its 6 pics per second abilities fills up your card pretty fast. I never had a problem with my Rebel and 4gb cards. The larger sized pictures however definately make a big quality improvement.I am still getting used to this larger and heavier camera but it was definately worth every penny. The batter life is comparable to Rebel, the menu system is way more complicated but most functions are accessible via some extra buttons. I find changing most normal settings (White balance, aperature, shutter speed etc much faster).The videos this camera takes are outstanding, so for a photographer like me this is a great bonus. I never thought about this when considering the purchase but once I tried the video I was so impressed by the quality that my interest in this has grown.

The shipping is quick. Camera is opened box, just as described, never used. But I have to say, with a lot of Google searches, I doubt this camera, Canon 5D Mark III, is from Japanese Grey market, which means you won't get any warranty in U.S. The reason I questioned is because this camera only have three languages to choose, which are Japanese, English and Chinese, which only happened on Japanese version. The U.S. version should have a lot of different languages to choose. But still, this is a good camera and also a good deal.

If you're looking on Amazon reviews on whether or not to buy this camera, you're looking in the wrong spot. This is an industry-standard camera and has great features. Check out Canon's website for the spec & feature list and do some research on how the images look and you'll be sold. However if you're looking for a non-Canon brand, then this isn't the right DSLR for you. I wanted a great Canon camera without going overboard, so this was a no-brainer for me and my photography needs.

I had been looking for this camera with the "kit" lens for some time before I made up my mind to buy it from Amazon rather than from some other dealer. Although its price was not advertised for certain reasons, I was reasonably sure that Amazon would not let my expectations down as far as good deals are concerned pricewise. The only thing I was still concerned, though, was whether the advertised camera would be new or refurbished or used. So before oredering it, I contacted Amazon to make sure that the camera was brand new, not used or refurbished, and they confirmed that the camera was brand new and factory-packed. So I went ahead and ordered it and it arrived even earlier than promised and it was indeed brand-new. I was very happy and the price I paid was far better than anywhere else. Bravo Amazon! Keep on doing the good job! I would definitely recommend anyone to buy anything from Amazon, as they are honest and true to their word.

I was a lifelong Nikon user but after the D800 fiasco (three bodies), with my cameras spending more time at Nikon repair centers (El Segundo/Melville) with numerous autofocus issues than in my possession. I sold all of my Nikon gear and switched to Canon. Except for AF, FPS, and great colors, the D800 is a better-engineered camera, but in actual usage, getting photos in focus... Priceless.When I first bought the D800, I was in nirvana because I thought I upgraded for the last time. The camera had everything, incredible dynamic range, amazingly low noise at base ISO, good high ISO performance, great metering, and well thought out controls. However, poor manufacturing, quality control, and atrocious support forced me to switch. With Canon, although I have adapted and I am very comfortable using it, I cannot help looking ahead to the next upgrade. However, thanks to the great Canon colors, I am saving tons of time in post-processing so I cannot complain too much.My event workflow:Nikon D700/D3: 1hr shooting = 2hrs in postNikon D800: 1hr shooting = 5hrs in post (AF issues forced me to shot a lot more)Canon 5dmk3: 1hr shooting = 0.5 - 1hr in post (shooting less and not fiddling with the colors)

I own this alongside my 60D. Originally I was going to upgrade, but decided to keep both. It's useful having a full frame camera and a camera with a crop factor in my opinion.Anyway.I wish the articulating screen was brought along with this camera, but I'll manage, even though I feel spoiled by it. This is also a very sturdy camera, and having both compact flash and SD card slots is really helpful. However, don't use them at the same time; it slows down the camera a bit. Maybe good for set up shoots, but definitely not for events or other constant-shooting uses. It's just nice to be able to have two forms of data back-up!I was also sold on how it shoots in low light. The images I've captured so far aren't as noisy as images taken on my 60D.Pretty much every other review here covers the good and bad of this camera, and it's definitely worth getting over the 5Dmk2 for sure. Not to knock on the 5Dmk2, but the extra money is really going to be worth your time in the future. This will be my main camera from now on. :)

I have been holding back for sometime, wanting to upgrade my camera from cropped sensor to full frame. I have great glass so i wanted to stick with Canon. I have been flip flopping back and forth with the 6D and the 5D Mark III. the main stumbling point the the cost. for a huge chunk of change difference, i needed something to push me over the threshold. Some of the features of the 6D as nice but would rarely use it. (GPS and WiFi) After renting both to go for a test drive, it was a no brainer. The 5D was the clear winner. From the first contact, it felt right. It's not a easy choice as not everyone can afford the extra cost but for me, it was well worth the extra time to save the cash to buy this camera.

There are already plenty of positive reviews here on the quality of this camera. I agree with many of the other comments on the 5D regarding image quality, build of the camera, etc. I also believe the Camera / lens package from Amazon is an excellent vale. Very pleased.For the last ten years I have been a pro portrait photographer shooting Nkon and made the move over to Canon for a variety of reasons (which I won't go into here). Again, very happy with the 5D, but there are a few things I miss about my Nikon and bug me about the 5D.1) No on camera flash (pop-up). For the most part, these small on camera flash units are of little value. However, there are times when you need just a hint of light to fill in a shadow or balance an exposure. While I thought I would not miss it, turns out I was wishing for it the first time I used my 5D. Ended up bringing in another light for my shoot, but I know I could have saved some time and used the flash if I had my Nikon. Probably my biggest issue with the 5D.2) I really liked the position and feel of the front / back thumb wheels on my Nikon. Making exposure adjustments with my index finger and thumb was quick and easy on my Nikon. After two weeks of solid use, I still find myself trying to use a rear thumb wheel on the 5D (that isn't there). Yes there is a wheel on the back of the 5D but it's not the same style / location as my Nikon. Not sure if this will just take time to get over but so far, just does not feel quite as ergonomic on the Canon.3) The lock on the shooting mode wheel. While I understand why Canon did this, still not quite used to it. Find myself having to use two hands to change the setting from Tv to Av, etc.It's only been a few weeks that I have had the 5D, and maybe I'll get used to these things. They are very minor but stuff I have noticed as a long time Nikon shooter.....I did deduct one star from my rating for them. Great image, great quality, great value. Just know you'll have a few things to get used to if you're coming over from NIkon.

This is the best Canon Prosumer SLF so far, and frankly speaking probably the best among all the brands. The low-light/high-ISO performance is unbelievable. The color rendering is also remarkable (a tradition of Canon DSLR). The fast continuous shooting speed is very useful for wildlife photography too. Overall, a fantastic portrait/landscape/wildlife DSLR in one package.

Finally pulled the trigger on a this camera due to a significant price drop - and I am very happy i did. I've been researching for while and reading up on the 5DMk3 and its rival the D800 and what all the they always come down to is, you can't go wrong with either choice - they're both excellent cameras! The deciding factor for me was the AF system on the 5D. I've only shot a handful of pictures and this camera is really amazing! Extremely crisp and clear images that really strengthen my decision to have bought this camera. I've shot with a crop-sensor for the past several year and making the leap up into the full-frame sensors makes a world of difference! I won't regurgitate this camera's specs because there are a million articles/videos that you can look up, however I will say that this is truly an amazing camera. If you've an enthusiast and are able to withstand the meteor in your pocket after making this purchase, than I would highly recommend it!

I upgraded from a 50D to this camera so you can tell how excited I was to open this up. I started using this with the difficult-to-use 50mm f1.2 lens and it works like a dream. At 1.2, nailing the shot is a breeze (even from far away) with its flawless focusing system. I'm a bokeh freak so nailing shots at f1.2 perhaps 98% of the time is fantastic. I've been practicing with an f1.4 for 2-3 years so skill might have helped, but that feeling you get after getting the shot wonderfully in focus on the first try is the best.

Instead of waffling on, I figured I would get a pros and cons list up here, and then conclude with my personal opinion as a wedding photog.PROS- Only a small bump in resolution (because more MPs doesn't equal better pictures!)- Style and body closer to the 1D series, which I much prefer. It looks sleeker and handles better and is more weather-proof- Boosted ISO (although I haven't tested 102,400 if we're being honest)- Exposure compensation has been greatly increased (+-5!!!)- FPS is now at 6, which for any wedding/sports/action photographer is a HUGE plus- The AF system is much faster and more accurate (the old system was EIGHT yrs old!)- 29.97 and 23.976fps video modes are beautiful - just wonderful!- 4GB file partitioning up to 30 minutes!!! This is a HUGE improvement!- CF AND SD card storage/backup, again something taken from the 1Ds, and a LONG time coming and I can still use my (faster) CF.- Full audio control, including headphone jack!NEUTRAL- Slightly larger LCD (by 0.2")- Slightly heavier, but not noticeably- No on-camera flash (which I never use anyway)CONS- HDR mode, really?Overall there is a lot I have to learn still about the new technologies this Mark has to offer. Not all of them will make you a better photographer, and I would highly advise not running out to purchase this as an upgrade to the 5D MkII JUST because you want the latest technologies. That said, some of the improvements made such as the 6FPS shooting and the video improvements make this a fine successor to the MkII and indispensable to photographers and indie film-makers alike. The CF and SD slots are fantastic, as I currently own a 1DS-MkII which uses this same system. This means that in camera I can shoot to CF, back up to SD and then use the CF to dump the cards to my computer as transfer rates are higher! This will also save you money, as SD cards are a good deal cheaper nowadays, and will still make fine backup cards!As a wedding photographer, having a reliable camera is extremely important, so the 150,000K shutter rating is a huge load off of my back. Coupled with 6FPS, I feel a lot more confident that I will get the shot every time. I don't snap a million pictures a wedding, but I do like to shoot burst during the important moments, and the new fps rate will do quite well!Regarding the one con, is it just me or does this seem too "gimmicky" for a pro-sumer camera? I tried the mode out and it wasn't ground-breaking, I get much better results creating HDR photographs manually with post-editing. Call me old fashioned, but I had the same issue with the Pentax Medium Format DSLR that I rented recently...I just find it lacking and unnecessary.If you have the cash and are looking for a full frame with video capabilities, this is an excellent choice with the improvements made. Sometimes I feel as though the changes made to a camera (Canon or Nikon) don't deserve a whole new edition to be released, but in this case I feel as though Canon have done a fine job in creating a camera that is worth every penny to upgrade!

At this point in time I am just scratching the surface with this exceptional piece of camera technology. I shoot mostly birds, and mostly in flight and I am extremely happy with the pictures I am getting. The autofocus is incredibly fast and accurate, It works well (with center AF point only) with my Canon 1.4 extender and 400MM f5.6 and even better without the extender. Images blown up to ridiculous magnifications using PSE remain useable for web publishing and for print in my little studio. It kicks my 7D's butt for image quality, autofocus speed, ease of use, and functionality of the menus. The only thing I don't like is the feel of the shutter button, and it might need to break in more. I cant say enough about this, Im very happy and even at $2700 I feel this is a good value.

Excellent picture quality, when the new camera is in operational capacity; and love the weight along with hot it feels in my hand...However, this camera got little problems and is one after another. I received this product on the 13th of Nov., 2013; today after about 1200 clicks later, the camera is taking "black" photos... yea you got it! The photos are "black" and completely "black".On the day I got this camera, i have experienced Mirror Lock malfunction -- the mirror will go into lock mode, but won't come back down... I have had Canon before and never have I got a camera with such a low quality ...I have send in a request to Canon for repair and etc. I will report back to inform other on their quality assistance...

OMG!!.. For those thinking about upgrading think about those 3 letters at the beginning of this review, because that's what you'll be saying after you purchase this camera, I shoot events, and compared to the mark II it's chalk and cheese. It finds focus in dark situations, and accurately!!... i think they almost built this to build a freaking freak auto focus machine!! It is better AF than the 7D which I also have and what you'd expect. The extra 2.1fps is surprisingly noticeable. i don't and probably won't use this for video so I won't comment on that. But I do believe that for those of you reading this and are sick of the AF on the mark II.. It will make your life so much better, you'll have less miss hits, less shots, more usable shots.. tracking is crazy good!!... anyway.. thats all.. just get it.. stop reading anymore reviews... and get it... NOW!
