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!

I was checking various websites and was surprised to see that my beloved 5D Mark-III is not even best canon body much less best body. May rate 6D higher and I can see why. More Dynamic range and better ISO performance and bigger pixel size for 6D. There are Nikon bodies rated much higher than and 6D came in 4th and 5D Mark-III came in 5th.Yeah 64AF points are great and in camera-HDR is cool even if like all HDRs it produces candy colored pictures.After checking all those reviews, I would advise new buyers to do your home work. The hefty price may not have justification. Canon's own newer 6D is almost half in price and in many categories outperforms 5D MIII.

I've been shooting a Canon 7D since late 2009. The 7D is a fantastic camera, it was far ahead of its time in 2009 in terms of auto focus and continuous shooting speed. It is also a very nicely built piece of equipment, solid and weather sealed, but without that "heavy as a cinder block" feel of many "professional" camera bodies. The 5D MK III shares all of those characteristics: solidly built, but not huge and bulky. It features an even better AF system, and while not quite as fast in terms of continuous shooting (6fps vs. 8fps), it's certainly no slouch.Now, where the 5D MK III shines is in low light image quality. I rarely pushed the 7D beyond ISO 1600 because images shot at ISO levels beyond that exhibited significant noise. Yes, it could be eliminated with post processing, but only if one was willing to sacrifice a ton of image detail. Conversely, the full frame sensor of the 5D MK III yields perfectly useable .jpg images straight from camera at ISO 3200, 6400 and even 12,800. Of course, most folks who purchase this camera will elect to shoot RAW and then post process. The RAW images contain a tremendous amount of detail and are extremely "crop-able". I recently shot a series of raptor photos with this camera and a Sigma 50-500 OS lens. The feather detail and sharpness was phenomenal! The in-camera HDR feature on this camera is also very usable. It creates very natural looking images that are well balanced between light and dark areas.While I will likely keep the 7D as a "backup" DSLR body, I am very happy with my purchase, and consider it a worthwhile upgrade. I'd definitely recommend this camera to my friends.Of course, the best "testimonial" I can give to the quality of a camera is actual photographs. Amazon won't allow me to put a link in my review, but if you'd like to see what I've been able to capture with the 5D MK III (and the 7D) go to Flickr and search for PhotoDocGVSU.

This camera has been our work horse. The only drawback has been the wireless Ethernet connectivity, we haven't found a good and reasonably priced solution to connect it wirelessly to Windows PCs. The latest cameras from Canon has wireless Ethernet built into them so I'm hoping the next version of this camera will too. Will pick up one right away if so.

I'm an amateur photographer and only use the camera in fully automatic mode, but it does a pretty good job.Me and my friends go mudding almost every time it rains, and we've gotten some pretty sweet pics with this camera. I actually lost my first one when I was trying to get really low to the ground and slipped. The camera fell into the mud, and the lens which wasn't fully attached fell off and filled with mud.Luckily, it was right before Christmas so my parents got me a new one. :-POverall, very good camera, but it'd be nice if it had some features that allowed a bit of creativity, like faces and props that can be superimposed onto the pictures. I also would prefer that it had Twitter integration. These minor grievances combined with the fact that some of my pictures seem a bit blurry sometimes are what make this a four-star camera. But for the price, you really can't beat it.

This camera is very easy to use and the product looks great.It's easy to use even for non-professionals and for those who want to shoot as a hobby.Be prepared to spend some $$$ on the lenses. The camera only takes EF lenses and not the cheaper EF-S lenses since it's a full frame camera.This is my first full frame camera since I've upgraded from the 20D, which I purchased 10 years ago.Canon is well-built and you can feel the difference. No regrets.

I have had a few canon bodies over the years from film into digital I purchased the 5dm2 new the first week it came out... that camera was a giant step forward from my 20D... I also have the 7D and have used a 1DmIII and 1DmIV for many events... I have to say that the autofocus on this camera is up there with the 1d series and I am personally seeing about a 1 stop addition in ISO. (I would have zero issues blowing up shots taken at 1000iso to poster size... it is that good...SD card is a bit like an after though but isn't a big deal to me... I don't shoot video so cant tell you about the video capabilities or quality. The 24-105 lens is a great lens especially stopped down to about F8. good contrast and edge detail, at the wide 24mm side there is a little bit of barrel distortion... but it is so minor most will not see it and if you are using a program like lightroom it is very easy to fix

I have had this camera for several months and I love it! It was a substantial upgrade from the Xti that I had previously.Shutter speed is fast - good for most occasions. I shoot HS sports and it is fine. Low light sensitivty is great - i get better noise performance at 3200 ISO than the xit at 400. Still learning al the capabilities but so far - really glad I purchased.

There's just something about the way the full frame censor captures an image that's very aesthetically pleasing. The quality of stills are wonderful even when I have to bump up ISO. The camera's video quality is also a huge selling point. Its versatility and sturdy body makes the 5D Mark III a good DSLR for any situation.

I purchased the MK III as an upgrade to my 5D and I got what I was looking for: an amazing full frame sensor at high ISO value.I felt the same surge of wonder as when I first used professional lenses. It is a feeling of liberation from technical constraints, an opening to new venues of photography in low light conditions.Scene photography has never been more exciting now that I truly don't have to bother about calculating the right settings for my flash.I've been playing around with this new camera for a couple of shoots only, including a new technique for me: video.All I have to say is that as an amateur photographer, this new Mark III is a game changer and I got exactly what I was looking for.

I love this camera. Shoots great in low light. I'd give it five stars, but I've had this camera for a little over a year (my warranty literally just expired) and I started having a problem recording video on this camera. While I'm recording video, the camera just clicks off and on disrupting the video recording. I sent it back to Canon while it was still under warranty to repair it. I got it back, and the problem was still there, but it didn't happen as frequent. I had a shoot a few days ago and the problem came back and it was really bad. It basically ruined my shoot. I'm hoping Canon will repair this issue now that it has barely fallen out of warranty. Without this problem, I would give this camera better ratings.
