Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Canon EOS 5D Mark III

Of course who wouldn't LOVE it! The best camera I have ever owned or ever hope to own! I can't leave home without it! My dream come true!

Hello Amazon reviewers!I think by now you have read the reviews and seen all the pros/cons of a new purchase or upgrade. Most magazines have already deemed this "camera of the year" for 2012, yes even over the Nikon D800 (lets not get into a discussion about this, I did not write the review). What I wanted to mention is the ding ding wake up call. What do I mean?For all of you DSLR people pimping your cropped sensor ride (Canon 7D, etc) to get the most out of it to satisfy your mind that you are close to the full frame, WAKE UP and smell the coffee. Why? I talk from experience, because I was there. I started with the Canon Rebel (first digital), then to a Canon 50D, added quite a few extras, then went to the crop Canon flagship 7D with all the extras, cards, you name it. In my mind I was close to full frame, and was happy. Then I tried the Canon 5D Mark III. I shot, edited, viewed, and then the bubble popped. I found myself quickly realizing FULL FRAME is the name of the game. I will not go on any more, just saying, if you are a crop sensor and do "some" shooting, then your fine. If you are shooting, and are striving for the next level, then stop the mini upgrades, and slip into a 5D. You will wonder why all this time you drove on the bumpy road. Everyone who wants to comment on how fabulous their crop pictures are, I am sure they are all of that, what I am saying is there is an easier road to get there, plus more.

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

Strength:1) AF system is fast, accurate and sometimes mind-reading.2) Low light ISO noise control is excellent, though tends to use 12800 too frequently3) Color rendition is somewhat subjectively artistic filtered4) Excellent LCD5) Ergonomics is excellent, good gripWeakness:1) Default jpg shows too much smudging for noise reduction (some say it's the NR radius parameter being changed affecting all Canon DSLR since the 60D)2) Low light AF sensitivity is not as good as the 6D (-3ev), so it won't lock focus in pitch darkness as good as the 6D. It's still VERY good though.3) Auto ISO shutter speed choice is a little on the high side (causing higher ISO being set)

Let me start by saying that this is my first DLSR camera. I've been shooting Leica RFs for the better part of 10 years so I have grown up basically shooting in manual mode since I started getting into photography. My kids are getting older now and my RF just can't keep up with the speed of their sports now so I had to make the plunge into DLSRs. Apparently I came into it at a good time with the 5DMIII and D800E releases. I did a lot of research and in the end I chose Canon for the following reasons:1) I need speed so I was drawn to 6fps as well as the quality of ISO sensitivity at 3200/64002) I wanted a camera that is super easy to set up and adjust on the fly (wash between the Nikon and Canon)3) I was drawn to the silent option on the Canon - it is incredibly subtle.4) I liked the quick C1-C3 dials for customization of the camera. Nikon has it but it is awkward to use.5) I wanted a walk around lens and the 24-105 just felt a heck of a lot more solid than the Nikon 24-120 - the Nikon felt super cheap and the double barrel would definitely be become a problem in terms of durability and shooting in the rain; which tends to happen a lot in Seattle.I am impressed. I love the flexibility of this camera and I the image quality is excellent. I am definitely a perfectionist when it comes to image sharpness and I only shoot RAW so I tend to be a bit of a pixel peeper. While the 36MP was impressive on the D800E, in the end, I realized that when it comes to shooting the kids, family and friends, the Canon gave me more versatility. I also found the video capabilities to be pretty good even though I rarely use it.All in all, for $4500 bucks, this camera kit is a good value for what you get. The 24-105 lens is very good especially considering that this is a kit lens. I had it out this past weekend shooting casual shots and the image quality is very sharp across the entire frame. The fit and finish is also very good. My M9 is still the preferred camera when I am out and about but I am genuinely impressed and surprised by the capability of the 5DMIII.

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

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

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

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

Bought this as an upgrade from the 7D specifically because I wanted to go full-frame and have better low-light and ISO performance. I was stuck between this and the 6D. However, I did not like the build quality of the 6D - specifically the joystick/wheel thing. Whatever you call it...I felt like it would break in a few weeks. The controls on this camera are almost an identical copy from the 7D so it was easy to learn quickly. Also, the mode ring has a lock button which is great and stops me from constantly accidentally changing modes.

I received my Mk3 a little over a month ago. I have been shooting Canon since my 35mm days and have had a 20D,40D and currently a 7D before purchasing this body. I have been wanting a full frame body for a couple of years now and anxiously awaited the release of this model for the last year. I almost pulled the trigger on a Mk2 and I am so glad I waited.The build is solid and all of the controls are logically laid out. There is a change in the menu layout from the 40D and 7D, but a little time learning the settings is well worth the effort. Having all of those (61) AF points can be a little overwhelming at first, but they are fantastic for getting the composition right the first time in camera without having to set and recompose. Autofocus is fast and locks on well in low light. It was fun just playing around in ISO 10000 to 25000 just to see how dark it can be to get a decent image. I could easily use ISO 10K images with just a bit of noise reduction.Image quality in real world shooting has been amazing. I'm not sure how much to add to this at this point. I have had 2 official shoots so far and the resulting pictures were fantastic. I have a higher "keeper" rate than previous cameras, making it interesting selecting images to process. I have used it with my 24-70 L and 70-200 L and the results have been most pleasing.I have played a little with the in-camera HDR. It's ok, but I still prefer doing it in software. Having the ability to capture up to 9 images for an HDR is going to be great. The other feature I am looking forward to using for the first time is the multiple exposure setting. This was one of the big selling points for me that Nikon has had for a while. I'm glad Canon finally added it.If I have 1 nit to pick it's the delay in getting the battery grip. I have always shot with one and trying to get used to being w/o it has been challenging. I am surprised there haven't even been any aftermarket brand grips yet. Canon keeps delaying the release of the BG-E11 and it is a bit frustrating.

Don't be fooled; this is NOT an overpriced 5D Mark II upgrade. It's an underpriced baby Canon 1DX.I just got my 5D Mark III and 24-105L today and spent the better part of the afternoon shooting everything in sight. I can safely say, after only a single day, that the 5D Mark III is like a 5D Mark II, Canon 1DX, and Canon 7D had a love affair and this is their child that only got the good genes.I've been a very happy Canon 7D owner for some time. I needed the speed of the AF and all those cross type AF points and the high fps for action shots occasionally and couldn't find anything that came close to the 7D in terms of performance. IQ was never an issue but DOF was for portrait shoots; that buttery bokeh that we love and crave was good but not exceptional regardless of beautiful and expensive L glass. Also, having to calculate in the crop factor was not that fun but I couldn't go to the 5D Mark II because of the slow fps and the slow AF. I didn't want two cameras; I wanted one... And it's here.This camera may not be targeting the 1DX community but I can promise that anyone looking at the 1DX will likely look at the 5D Mark III as a cheap baby 1DX with many overlapping features. I look at it as the camera that convinced me to just sell off my beloved 7D entirely because you can't go back. You can only go forward. This is Australopithecus; we are walking upright.I considered going to Nikon and I tried on the D800 and it's a great camera but ergonomically the 5D Mark III feels great in the hand; it's something that feels so good, you don't want to put it down. Also, the low light performance tests I've seen and what I've now experienced with the Mark III makes it the most amazing night shooter in this price range.If you buy this camera, you'll never regret it. I know everyone keeps saying that and I know I thought, "Yeah, you didn't regret it but it's $4300... I might regret that..." I was wrong. I'll never regret this. You'll never regret buying this. It's a hell of an upgrade from a 5D Mark II or from the 7D and it's a step in the right directions towards a 1DX and maybe better for some.

I have thousands of dollars worth of Canon glass including almost every "legendary" canon prime like the 200mm f1.8 The mkIII is a great camera and a big improvement over the mkII in autofocus and a full stop better in low light. Nonetheless, having shot with a Nikon D3s and D4 I have to say that nikon still wins on low light sensitivity and especially in autofocus. I know the D4 costs quite a bit more, but if I was starting all over again, I would definitely consider nikon.

I have been a working photographer for 10 years and I have never loved something so much. The clarity and quality are immaculate. I did a modeling shoot yesterday and I could not believe my eyes. HIGHLY recommend this. **Please note that if you have Photoshop CS4, the RAW files will not work unless you get the Adobe DNG Converter.

I've had this camera for about six months and I love it! It performs extremely well in very low light, as well as every other situation. It makes great shots right out of the box, and the more I learn about its features, the better my pictures become. If you're coming from a cropped sensor, realize that the EF-S lenses WILL NOT WORK on this body. Be prepared to spend money on high quality glass, but understand that it can take your photography to the next level! If you are serious about photography, the 5D Mark III is a great tool.

Bought this camera after owning the 7D for the past few years. Main reason was indoor photography without a flash, where this camera really shines. I believe I'm getting a 4 stop improvement over the 7d, which really does make a difference indoors if you want to avoid using a flash. For outdoor photography with good light, I'm not certain that the 5d Mark III has a huge advantage over the 7d, though many would say the 5D is sharper. I haven't done a head to head comparison outdoors however.Also almost all of the buttons are exactly where they were on the 7D, making the transition very easy. SD card slot is a bonus since I have a bunch of high capacity SD cards lying around, and I haven't noticed the speed disadvantage over CF that people seem to talk about, at least for what I'm doing which is mainly stills and occasional video.I would highly recommend this camera as an upgrade to the 7D (or any other crop sensor camera) if you are looking to take high quality photos indoors without a flash.

Short summary:* If you shoot a lot of action, 5dMkIII is a better camera (compared to 5dMkII, 7D, Nikon D800). (5 stars).* If you mainly shoot landscape or still subjects *and* are starting a FF system, I'd strongly suggest checking out Nikon D800. It's $500 cheaper and has better IQ (4 stars).* If you're a hobbyist getting into FF *and* don't need 1DX-class AF, I'd strongly recommend 5dMkII. It's $1400 cheaper with nearly identical IQ in raw images (3 stars).* If you already own 5dMkII, don't shoot much action and other MkIII features don't interest you (silent shutter, better build, brighter viewfinder etc), wait until the next generation or a sizable price drop. As is, too pricey (3 stars).I pre-ordered MkIII when the camera was announced, after seeing Canon's claims that the IQ was improved about 2 stops compared to 5dMkII. Having spent a few days with it, I can say that 5dMkIII is a great camera. The body feels more solid than its predecessor. The new 7D-style viewfinder is brighter. The new AF works wonderfully especially in low light and with the outer focus points. However, I don't see the 2-stop IQ improvement in raw images using Lightroom. At best, the IQ has been improved marginally. Only in-camera JPGs show substantial improvement, which I don't use.As is, the camera's biggest selling point is AF. I don't think the upgrade from 5dMkII is worth it unless you frequently photograph moving subjects or need 1DX-class AF. Why 3 stars? First off, 5dMkII has pretty similar IQ to 5dMkIII in raw images. However it has an outdated AF unit (a poor design choice by Canon), which is not an obstacle for most people including myself. Second, Nikon D800 sells for $500 less, and it offers as much as MkIII does if not more. Given the more reasonably priced alternatives, and the incremental IQ improvement from much-cheaper 5dMkII, I can only rate this one 3 stars (for people in my position). As a hobbyist who doesn't shoot much action, I think I'll keep my MkII and send this one back.

Canon EOS 5D mark ii just got better. I just upgraded to one after much deliberation. the EOS 1D is still the ultimate muse but then, if you are not worried about taking pics of things in fast motion like auto-journalism, the EOS 5D is the best bang for the buck.

The 5DMIII feels like and has so far performed like a 1D series! You can read all of the numerous on-line reviews, but I feel like this is a "marked improvement" over the previous generation. Good image quality is a given, but the autofocus, feel, and automation are significantly improved. The original 5D and 5D MII were miles apart, and this newest has left them behind. Clearly for advanced enthusiasts and professionals. This one is sure to make a difference in your passion and work.

Upgraded from Mark II to this just 2 month ago, and I am very happy with this upgrade even with some extra money I had to shed for Mark III compared to Mark II. Awesome quality, including performance in the dark. Much better focusing in dark conditions - this was one of my biggest complaints about Mark II, my Canon 60D did a much better job at a time. Now this has been addressed in Mark III. Great usability improvements in control panel including live view. 6FPS is awesome to have. Video quality is just amazing. Having two cards is very nice as well. High ISO quality - it is a noticeable improvement over Mark II and 60D, even though they also have an excellent rating in this space. There are many other improvements over Mark II everywhere - you can probably read about on any comparison site - I will not be going into those here. I never used or cared about having an embedded flash in professional camera of this type - if I need to use flash, I use my Canon 430EXII which gives me great results which no embedded flash would ever give. Embedded flash is more of a point-and-shoot camera type feature. I like having HDR feature as it allows me to easily get 3 raw images plus HDR jpg. I do not use resulting jpg, I shoot in RAW all the time anyway, but I post-process those files in Photoshop later for final HDR image. We could get these done before, of course, but it is a nice shortcut that considerable saves time. Definitely a great camera and worth every penny.

I am a serious amateur and debated long and hard between the 5DMKIII and the 6D -In the end I wanted to get a "no compromise" camera. I toyed around with the 6D and it is certainly a fantastic camera (handles well, feels comfortable to hold and creates great images). However, coming from the canon 30D, I felt more at home with control layout on the 5D3. I prefer more controls at my fingers instead of in menus. Secondly, I preferred the autofocus capability of the 5D3. I certainly do not think this warrants the price difference between the two cameras but price was not a limiting factor for me. After 3 weeks of use, this camera meets my expectations. For the price though, I wish it had the WIFI capability of the 6D - I use the EYE-FI PRO cards which works great for me -gives me both wifi and geo tagging functionality.Overall a great camera - about $500 too expensive, hence the 4 stars instead of 5. I will be keeping this camera for a long time.

I have a 5D and a 5D Mark ii. I immediately purchased the Mark iii and don't regret it one bit. The autofocus system alone is worth the additional price, however, I must admit that I consider this camera more of a "Baby" 1D than an upgraded 5D.LIKES:1. I can't say enough things about the new autofocus system. AMAZING. GENIUS. I rarely have eyes out of focus now. Even my 85mm/1.2L is performing much better. I love the colors and creaminess from that lense but focusing it was like playing a Russian Roulette game. I am enjoying this lense much more often now with the Mark iii.2. The low light ISO capabilities are extremely good and more impressive than the Mark ii.3. I love the lock on the mode dial. I, for one, use to have frequent unsolicited mode changes from Manual to Bulb. No more of that.4. I love the feel of the rubbery-like finish. The camera feels better in my hand than the Mark ii.5. LOVE the new dual card slots.DISLIKES:My one major gripe is that the autofocus point doesn't highlight in red when I press the focus button (I use back button focus). It only highlights in red when I change the autofocus point. Otherwise, it is a dark grey/black box. I use manual autofocus point selection consistently so I usually do not remember where it was pointing last after a few minutes and it is annoying to have to pretend to change the focus point just to see where it is set. Canon really needs to address this in the next firmware update.Oh, another thing is that when I shoot a picture, it blocks me from playback of any other photos. I have to actually press the play button if I want to go back and compare that photo to the prior one. The first two 5Ds did not hijack playback like this and it is kind of annoying.Oh, for all of you on waiting lists (as was I), I went to BestBuy and they had several in stock.

I haven't even open the box and I love it. So I am giving it 5 stars just for that.Update *** After just a few days of shooting.I will not review technical or specifications on the camera because those numbers can be read in every single photography website there is. I rather talk about my transition from the t3i to the 5d mark 3.Coming from a canon t3i this is a big step up.This camera feels much heavier than my t3i to the point that when I go back to the t3i, it feels more like a very expensive toy.I always thought that I could get around the full frame factor by taking 3 steps back and shoot but no. There is something I still can't understand about it but it's no just about how much light the sensor will digest. There is something in the composition that just work better. I shot 2 music videos with my t3i and having this much room for low light situations is a MUST. Just when you thought you had a good shot from the cropped sensor camera and you go to editing then you look how bad the dark areas look if you blow up the picture to fill the entire computer screen. NOT ANYMORE with the 5dm3. This is a very clean picture and the small amount of noise in low light actually looks good....a tiny bit like film grain.It's funny how a simple thing like a headphone output can make a huge impact in videos. Even when the t3i can monitor audio level I was still getting some unwanted sounds that I had to correct in final cut or pro tools. But now that I have the headphone mix I can propperly adjust the gain and capture a better signal from my shot gun mic.If you have an entree level Dslr like a t2i or t3i and you're still questioning if this upgrade is worth it? Well it is. I started getting paid for my photography and videos and I wish I had the 5dm3 for my last 2 sessions. I'm pretty sure my cllients will appreciate the outpu of this wonderfull instrument.

If you're looking to upgrade to something more professionaland have the cash to spend, get the 5d MKIII. best investmentfor photographers in 2012. Glad the camera was released in early 2012.The White Balance, Auto Focus, The Metering are improved tremendouslycompared to it's predecessor the 5d MKII.I own both cameras, MKII & MKIII,and what blew me away was how well you can capture an image in low lightconditions. In the previous version, MKII, setting your camera to ISO 6400,your image had tons of grain and was definitely not going to be one of your bestcaptures from the day. With the MKIII, ISO 6400 is compared to the MKII's ISO3200.This alone is worth the upgrade, but not the 1k price increase.The Metering & 61 point AF system is phenomenal. I'm sure you've read tons of reviewson the upgraded metering/AF system and similarities with the 7d, but this new systemblows away everything from the competition. The White Balance on this camera is beautiful. Exposureis accurate and have enjoyed shooting weddings, (photography only) in all sort of lighting conditions. 61 point vs 9 pointis a huge step up. This is definitely a plus for wedding photographers or fast action photographers.I shot a small video using both the MK3 and the MKII and the white balance isjust beautiful. You can view the video here:[...](this was just a test run for video, haven't shot a wedding with the mkIII yet.)Here's a sample of low light conditions with the mkIII:[...]Overall this camera surpasses my expectations and can't wait to shoot more video with this bad *ss camera.
