Великолепно
отличная модель
- +
Проф камера со всеми вытекающими, весьма удобная эргономика, но с косячками типа переключающегося рычажка LOCK на задней панели и рычажка включения слева (все любительские кэноны можно включить одной рукой, а проф нет)
Довольно высокие рабочие ISO, по крайней мере на момент выхода
Нормальный авфтофокус (я не знаю почему кэнон ставит нормальный автофокус только на избранные камеры, но факт)
В целом сбалансированная камера (опять же на момент выхода), причем как для фото так и для видео
Возможность поставить Magic Lantern и развлекаться по полной: raw видео с огромным потоком данных (нужны весьма дорогие 1000х CF), фокус пикинг, зебра для пересвета и тд. Но эта штука очень нестабильна, так что только поиграться, серьёзное снимать не стоит.
- -
-Цвет и скинтон хуже чем у предыдущего 5d2 и Никонов
-Вспышку можно бы было и поставить, чтоб управлять внешними
-При сложном освещении (галогенки, люминисцентные) довольно трудно тянуть цвет с картинки. В видео это просто беда, в фото куда не шло, но тоже страдает цветопередача.
-Фирменные кэноновские оранжевые лица (кому-то нравится кому-то нет) лично мне не очень.
-При проф применении с камеры слетает краска (сзади снизу ), отлетает кольцо с диска режимов, я повидал много 5d3, прямо эпидемия какая-то
-На момент 2015 года цена на камеру завышена и смысла её брать практически нет.
Пользовался как рабочей камерой для съёмки видео, брал поиграться для фото. Сравниваю с конкурентами (Nikon D800/810/D750) и Canon 6d/5d2
При том что я написал недостатки этой камеры в целом это наверное самая удобоваримая камера у кэнона, она весьма сбалансирована с точки зрения скорость/исо/разрешение/автофокус. В большинстве случаев выдаёт неплохую (ну ещё бы, фф) и главное стабильную картинку, чем выгодно отличается от 5d2, 6d которые из-за кривого автофокуса могут подвести. Это на момент 2013-2014 года. На момент лета 2015 года цена на камеру неадекватная, у никона за эти деньги есть свежая D810, которая при своих 36 мп шлепает репортажи не хуже 5d3, при этом в студии и на пейзаже D810 просто разрывает за счет разрешения и ДД, также у никона есть свежая и относительно дешевая D750 которая поспорит по рабочим ISO, гораздо приятнее по ДД и лучше отрабатывает в сложном освещении. Казалось бы, на трехлетнюю камеру логично установить ценник, сравнимый с D750, но кэнон не такой, он безжалостно ломит цены (как в рублях так и в долларах) на откровенно не самую современную камеру с расчетом на то, что её будут покупать из за её вобщем-то неплохой репутации.

- + главное в нем - это конечно физический размер матрицы 35 мм. Качество фотографи при наличии дорогой оптики L класса на 10 баллов. Отличный аппарат!
- - в описании ошибка - "Функция очистки матрицы есть" нету её и в этом минус, большая матрица притягивает пыль как пялесос,...

- + Юзал я эту машинку, просто класс! ФФ-таки. ДД шире, чем на 40d, тут ведь пиксель побольше в полтора раза. Солидный, крепкий аппарат, идеален как для неспешной съемки в студии, так и для отлично детализированных пейзажей.
- - Недостатком можно считать какую-то недоработку для времени выпуска модели. Глупо сравнивать с каким-нибудь 7d, который имеет картинку похуже, зато оснащен кучей малонужных наворотов...

I didn't rush to make a review of this camera, as I wanted to really put it through it's paces first. I won't try to list every feature or go over every bullet point (the above description does a fine job), but instead try to go over a few things which make a big difference to me as a 5D Mark II owner. For some background, I bought an original 5D in 2007, a 5DII in 2008 and have been working with these bodies ever since then. I also have experience with all of the Canon 1-series up through the 1DIII and 1DsIII. I currently log about 60,000 photos per year with the 5D Mark IIs as a professional wedding and portrait photographer. I shoot almost exclusively with fast L prime lenses in my work.You will really need a 1000X Memory Card for best quality pictures!:

So after a week of solid shooting with the camera, here are the areas which are of note relative to previous 5D bodies:
**AUTOFOCUS**
AF is the elephant in the room here so I'll address it first. Good news, we now have a focusing system worth of it's price point. The AF system here is identical to that in the 1Dx and is THE most sophisticated AF system EVER put in any Canon body. It is superior to that in the 1DV and all bodies before it.
I have tested the AF point in servo and one shot mode with my fastest lenses. Speed, accuracy, and consistency have been exceptional and better than anything I have used before. AF gets the job done with zero drama. NO focus jitter, NO frontfocus, NO backfocus, nothing but near-instant, dead accurate focusing with all of my lenses. Even with my Sigma 85/1.4 (which gives my 5DII bodies absolute fits) is 100% accurate with no jitter on the 5DIII. Center AF point and all peripheral AF points are all usable with fast primes. With the 5DII you just use the center AF point and hope for the best (with often mixed results). You could forget using the outer AF points with fast lenses on previous 5D bodies. That has all changed now.
Just to see how far I could push it, I took my most difficult to focus lens (24/1.4 II), put it on the 5DIII, and tried to focus on my black lab in my dimly lit apartment. At a distance of about 2 feet I would able to lock focus on the dog's eye with the far left AF point at F1.4, 1/40, ISO4000. Think about that. I was able to focus on a black eye on a black dog in a dimly lit apartment at F1.4. The 5DII would have hunted all day long trying to do this, even with it's center AF point.
I could sit here and write a book on how happy this performance makes me. For what I do, if this were the only upgrade from the 5D Mark II, it alone would be worth of the £2,600 price tag. That said, there is more...
**BUILD QUALITY**
It's hard to put my finger on exactly what changed, but the 5DIII just feels more substantial. It feels like a chopped down 1-series instead of a buffed up 10 series. The contour of the body has changed to fit your hand better. The rubber is also a new compound which is much grippier than before. The 5DIII feels much better to hold and use than the previous 5D bodies.For optimal pictures i recommend you to buy a really good background tripod. I use this one:

**SCREEN**
I wasn't expecting a big improvement here, but the screen is drop dead gorgeous. The height is about the same, but it's wider than that in the 5DII and fits the aspect of horizontal images perfectly now. The screen itself has better coatings which allow you to see it easier outside. The contrast, viewing angle, color, and saturation have all improved noticeably. It has a very similar look to a high end smartphone screen. This is a substantial upgrade from the 5DII's screen.
**IMAGE QUALITY**
Image quality is better than the 5DII, but not substantially so. Let me explain.
The 5DIII now natively amplifies the sensor data to ISO 25,600 whereas the 5DII only natively went to ISO 6400. This means that for anything higher than ISO 6400, the 5DIII is better. In RAW you are looking at an improvement of about 1/2 to 3/4 of a stop at high ISO. At lower ISOs, the noise level is about the same.
JPEG quality has improved much more though. The JPEG engine in this camera is staggeringly good and a solid 2 stops better at controlling noise at high ISO than the 5DII. It strikes the best balance of detail and noise control of any camera on the market right now. Note though that default NR in JPEG mode is fairly strong and that you will generally attain a better "look" from your files with the "low" NR setting.

If you have ever viewed the work of JACK CARDIFF - the British genius cinematographer who filmed such notables as Marlene Dietrich; Marylyn Monroe; and Audrey Hepburn - and changed cinematography forever - and you wonder how he achieved the ‘vividness’ of colour (watch ‘The red shoes’; ‘My Fair Lady’; or ‘Breakfast at Tiffanies’), well – with THIS fabulous collection of six GRADATION FILTERS – a word that here means a colour filter that GRADUALLY FADES FROM THE COLOUR at the EDGE of the filter down to CLEAR at the half way point of the filter - you will be able to apply his secret of ‘colour space’ and ‘colour harmony’ to create truly STUNNING photos.
The filters are used by screwing the filter mount onto the front of your camera lens and then rotating the filter to place the selected colour gradation where you want it, so as to create the effect that you seek. You can also add other colour filters and ‘blend’ them to create some spectacular imagery.
As a ‘rule of thumb’:
- BLUE filters absorb (remove) GREEN and RED light
- YELLOW filters absorb BLUE light
- GREEN filters absorb BLUE and RED light
- MAGENTA (purple) filters absorb GREEN light
- CYAN (turquoise) filters absorb RED light
The set comprises:
- A NEUTRAL DENSITY (grey) filter to bring out clouds.
- A YELLOW filter to enhance greenery and for shooting on ‘INDOOR’ FILM when shooting OUTDOORS.
- A GREEN filter to create ‘Tuscany coloured’ (continental) skies, which can also be pressed into service on monochrome (black and white) panchromatic (sees all colours) film to enhance contrast.
- An ORANGE filter to enhance skin-tones and capture truly stunning sunsets when shooting outdoors – which can also be pressed into service to bring ‘warmth’ to the pallid skin tones of ELDERLY people whilst allowing younger members in the frame to be left ‘unfiltered’ (set the filtration to the right or left side of the frame and then compose your people accordingly).
- A RED filter for enhancing fireworks; firelight; bonfires; and candle-lit scenes, which can also be pressed into service on monochrome panchromatic film to enhance contrast.
- A PURPLE filter to add drama to your colour photos; enhance reds and oranges; and bring contrast to skies on monochrome panchromatic film.
Filter COLOURS work INDEPENDANTLY of each other so they can also be pressed into service to add TINT to a photo so as to change the OVERALL COLOUR SPACE to create a certain MOOD - so EXPERIMENTATION is the way forward to bring your own ‘colour space expression’ by MIXING the filter colours and experimenting with the colour palettes of the COSTUMES and SETS just as Jack Cardiff did back in the nineteen forties
ASIDE: Purchase The boxed set of Powell and Pressburger DVD’s and check out the differing moods of ‘The Red Shoes’ (now fully restored by Martin Scorsese and available on BluRay); ‘Black Narcissus’; and ‘Tales of Hoffman’ (beautifully sung in English and featuring the extraordinary balletic talents of Moira Shearer) – all done by changing the COLOUR SPACE.
From harsh swashbuckling blues to soft romantic oranges and purples – armed with this ‘must have’ kit there is PLENTY of scope for you to get SERIOUSLY creative dear reader.
If you are entering the world of photography or cinematography and you aspire to be like JACK CARDIFF, then two publications that will really ‘bring on’ your photography are:
‘The working camera – the world’s first pop-up guide to photography’ by Professor John Hedgecowe and the celebrated pop-up artist Ron Van Der Meer. ISBN 0 – 207 – 15340 – X (available from Amazon)
There isn’t a BETTER guide to taking photographs ANYWHERE! Here, through imaginative amazing FULLY-ANIMATED pop-ups of STUDIOS and much much more, you will learn pretty much EVERYTHING you need to know about taking STUNNING pictures with vibrancy and attitude.
The second 'must read' publication is ‘Cinematography theory and practice’ by Blain Brown, ISBN 978 – 0 – 240 – 81209 – 0 (available from Amazon)
Here you will find pretty much EVERYTHING you could wish to know about cinematography in one handy volume – and it comes with a great DVD that shows you HOW TO DO IT – covering everything from composition to lighting. It doesn’t get any better!
Have FUN and happy shooting!

Bought this model to take over where the Canon 1Ds worked perfectly using the EF 28-300 3.5-5.6 L IS USM lens mostly. It departs in may ways with great improvements in the higher megapixel, quieter shutter noise and video/audio recording. I needed the camera to be quiet and could not believe the 1Ds was SO noisy. Could not use in recitals or shooting creatures. The EOS 5D Mark III has so much desirable and few things a bit awkward starting with the mode dial locking button. Didn't need to have 2 functions to rotate the dial that previous models for the most part omitted. The set button changes not only the touch pad changes but also the multi-controller toggle button that you need to drop down and hit the set button to confirm an action. The CF card positions in the camera does not allow your finger/thumb nail to snag the CF edge lip since it faces the card slot cover. I have to noodle around rather than use a thumb nail and pull out easily. Could be my "basket ball palming"size hands.
FYI: If you need Canon service out of warranty. This new 5Dm3 gave contact errors with the 28-300 L lens the 1Ds didn't and noticed the lens mount was damaged but still would fire taking perfect shots. I sent to Canon authorized facility in CA last week for the mount to be replaced and dust removed out of the front elements. They quoted $435 and later changed it to $998(discounted to $804 after complaining) citing a stabilizer major repair plus what I wanted originally. Canon cites a tier structure not visible to the public of billing with no way to order what you want but what they deem needing repair. Your choice is to pay what they want or they will not repair it and send it back. This is America isn't it? (Wish I could do that in my service business, dictate what and how much you will pay or else!). It was not clear what was included with various tiers and not at their service website for disclosure. Canon has great products but their authorized service is appalling to not do what consumers want but what they want to do. I have zero confidence in their repair skills/service if this is how they charge consumers with out disclosure prior to sending gear to them. I found out to late that the Canon original parts cost of a flange and rubber seal, over-nighted would have been under $65. Of course the cleaning of the front elements would have been excluded but the lens would have never left my house. The lens had no other evidence of failure other than contacts not meeting and the damaged flange. Now I will never be sure if the repair was actually needed, damaged in shipment to them or how long the lens will function since it was opened up and "repaired". I lost major ground in Canon authorized services. Be advised, don't freak out when "what ever" fails and start figuring out what you need. Study ALL your options before the "bait and switch" or mystery billing events tags your wallet! There are websites that offer everything you need for your out of warranty gear repair if you or someone is up to it. Some of us have no problems with repairs and given the risk potential of strangers work, shipping and can do just as good. Not everyone has endless funds and this lens was not cheap.
Update Feb 26, 2014: After back and forth with Canon in Irvin, CA and customer relations more "damages" were disclosed that seem to be their justification for the major service criteria. The small surface scratch on the lens barrel from a 1943 bomber ride with my then 85 year old mother at 5000 feet with wind turbulence was the reason for the need to replace the lens barrel. Did not effect functionality and I earned and loved that scratch. It was a paint scratch, not a dent, the camera and lens was never dropped and the zoom action was perfect, just fine. That along with the stabilizer replacement and what I wanted, front elements cleaned and base mount replacement justified the second estimation of the $998. Talking with customer relations dropped the labor cost to parts only charges. The point is I needed the front elements cleaned and the base mount replaced and Canon in Irvin, CA found everything else and refused to do what I wanted/needed due to their high standards of not letting anything out the facility that did not meet their "high" standards of service. All or none! The owner of the property DID NOT have any say in what was going to be performed, zero. With Canon services warranty or out of warranty gear the owner of the property has zero input to what is performed. The web site does not give you a clue to anything you can expect and you will not learn anything until the item is shipped and gone through who knows how many Canon service hands, departments. The risk potential grows exponentially once it leaves your hands no matter what anyone says. Again, before sending to any repair facility, Canon or not, in or out of warranty, be advised that what ever you thought you needed may be of

The switch from Nikon:
After being with nikon for 16+ years, I recently threw in the towel. As a wedding shooter, I count on my equipment and need things to work correctly.
I had purchased two nikon d600's 1 year apart and both had the horrible dust/debris issue. After repeat cleanings and 20,000+ shots, both cameras still had the issue. I got tired of wet cleaning the sensors and got tired of nikons poor customer service. Nikon decided that the D600 owners just had to either deal with repeat sensor cleanings or send in the camera to "possibly" have the issue resolved. Nikon had no proven fix besides switching out the shutter and praying that the issue went away. Nikon released the d610 and left the rest of the people hanging.
Leaving nikon was extremely difficult for me because I had a big investment in the bodies, accessories and glass. I made the move at a huge loss but am extremely happy that I did.
The differences:
I purchased both a 6D and the 5D mark III from amazon. The immediate thing that I have noticed is that all my canon glass has been good with focus right out of the box. With almost every nikon lens/camera combo, I had to pull out a focus chart and focus tune software and apply fine tuning. I also noticed that the focus system on my canons do not have the tendency to act up under tungsten lighting like my nikons did. My d600's and d7000 had a tendency to back-focus under heavy tungsten lighting.
The canon DPP software is a pleasure to use. I hated Nikon capture NX2. It was slow and the user interface was horrible. Canon DPP loads quickly and applying batch changes is amazing. I do miss the Nik software selection point feature of CNX2.
The one thing I don't like is the fact that canon makes you purchase your lens hoods separately and at a premium.
I do like the fact that the canon equipment is made in japan and has a quality feel to it compared to cameras like the d600 that are made in Thailand.
The 5D mark iii vs D800:
Prior to leaving nikon, I also spent a week with the nikon D800. I found that the d800 produced a lot of noise in the raw files when pushed to higher iso's. This alone was enough to turn me off. I did test my sample of the d800 for left focus issues. I did not have the left AF issue of older d800's but the camera I got had some focus issues that required fine tuning all my glass to the body. In some cases the fine tune was at +20.
The D800 files did have a lot of detail and dynamic range but the file size was huge. If you shoot a lot of landscape and want lots of dynamic range, the d800 is a good option. But the dynamic range comes at the cost of nikons lack of quality control.
If dynamic range is not your main goal but want a great reliable camera with a killer AF system (better in my testing) and smaller files, the canon 5D mark III is amazing. I suggest not to get caught up in the megapixel game unless you do some very heavy cropping like birds in flight for which the d800 may be a better choice. The 5D mark III files are great and have plenty of latitude for most users.
5D mark III:
Focus:
Focus Focus Focus. The 5D mark III has a killer focus system. The best that I have used. The focus system is lighting fast, accurate and very very customizable. It is a pleasure to be able to customize my focus system like this. I recently shot an event and out of 700+ images, I scrapped maybe 10 shots because of focus. The ones I did delete because of focus was do to me not placing the focus point on the right area of the image.
No back/front focus like my nikons had. No focus shift under tungsten lighting like some nikons.
The hit rate on focus is amazing. You want to know why canon can charge a premium for this camera? Because of its pure amazing focus system! If you absolutely need the best focus system on any camera, this is it.
Customization:
You can assign buttons to do certain functions and to your own shooting style. This is a god send compared to nikons lack of customization.
Body:
The camera is solid with a good feel in the hand. The buttons are easy to operate and cleverly located. Coming from nikon is an adjustment because the camera buttons are in a different layout. It will become easy to use after some time and practice.
I did not like the fact that canon has no built in removable screen protector like the nikon. This is a minor gripe but one that I resolved by buying the vello stick on glass protectors. I know the nikon plastic screen protectors are not fancy but they did a good job of protecting the screen from bumps.
Images:
The 5D makr III images are fantastic. The auto white balance works much better compared to my nikons I had owned. The 5D mark III is not able to pull details from the shadows like the D800 or D6
After being with nikon for 16+ years, I recently threw in the towel. As a wedding shooter, I count on my equipment and need things to work correctly.
I had purchased two nikon d600's 1 year apart and both had the horrible dust/debris issue. After repeat cleanings and 20,000+ shots, both cameras still had the issue. I got tired of wet cleaning the sensors and got tired of nikons poor customer service.
