Canon EOS 5D Mark III + EF 24-105mm SLR Camera Kit 22.3 MP CMOS 5760 x 3840 pixels Black :
Full-frame 22.3-megapixel sensor
Capture high-quality images that are full of detail with a 22.3 megapixel CMOS sensor and DIGIC 5+ image processor. Colours are bright but natural, and fine detail is preserved even in dark shadow areas and bright highlights.

High-quality performance, even in low light
The EOS 5D Mark III delivers superb picture quality whatever the lighting conditions. Keep shooting hand-held even after the sun goes down, thanks to an ISO 100–25,600 sensitivity range (extendable to ISO 102,400).

61-point wide-area autofocus
Focus quickly and accurately, even on off-centre subjects, with a 61 point wide-area autofocus system. 41 cross-type points (five of which are extra sensitive double-cross type) ensure highly accurate tracking of moving objects.

High-speed continuous shooting
Keep up with the action at 6fps, recording up to 16,270 continuous JPEG images to a UDMA mode 7 card in a single burst.

High dynamic range imaging
Preserve detail in highlight and shadow areas with in-camera HDR image creation.

Full-HD video with manual control
Enjoy high quality Full HD video at 1080p resolution. Use manual controls and Canon’s comprehensive EF lens range to achieve cinematic visual effects.

Great quality sound
Give your video footage the soundtrack it deserves. The EOS 5D Mark III records digital stereo sound at 48KHz and offers manual control over audio level. A standard 3.5mm mic socket enables the use of third-party microphones; a headphone socket permits audio monitoring while recording.

In-camera editing functions
Begin your digital editing workflow before you arrive back home. Rate your images on a scale of one to five and compare two images simultaneously on screen. Use in-camera Raw processing to explore creative possibilities – such as black & white conversion and retrospective white balance.

Built to go anywhere
A magnesium chassis provides strength and durability without adding weight. Weather sealing offers protection against dust and moisture.

Advertisement, Advertisement, Given how popular the 5D Mark II became in the videography community, we'd have liked to have seen the Mark III's video capabilities improved a bit more. The addition of a dedicated XLR microphone jack is probably a pipe drea...
You should! Yeah, the Mark II is still a killer deal, but the 5D Mark III is better. Thats all there is to it. The refinements just make it a vastly better tool for photographers and videographers. The autofocus system alone is enough to justify choosing...

The top deck includes a Mode dial with the Auto+ mode, combined from the Creative Auto and Green Zone modes on the 5D Mark II. The 5D Mark III's power switch juts out from beneath this dial, as it does from the Canon 7D as well. Also from the 7D is the Mu...

At first glance, the 5D Mark III looks a lot like its predecessor. In fact, at 6.0 x 4.6 x 3.0 inches and 30.3 ounces, it's about the same size and weight as the Mark II. It is very well constructed and is built around a magnesium-alloy shell. Seals at c...

On paper, the Canon 5D Mark III may not seem like a huge step up from the 5D Mark II especially given all the rumors (and long-time anticipation) surrounding its release. In some ways, the Mark III on the surface doesn't dazzle with additional bells and...

As far as follow-ups go, the 22.3-megapixel Canon EOS 5D Mark III would seem more like an evolutionary “next step” than the revolutionary “leap forward” in camera technology its predecessor was.You remember its predecessor, the HD-shooting, 21.1-megapixel...

Canon fans looking for “the next big thing” with the 22.3-megapixel 5D Mark III might have been disappointed after seeing its feature set which, on face value, seems only a modest improvement over the groundbreaking 5D Mark II from 2008. Meanwhile, photog...

We found in our Canon 5D Mark III that the camera remains an excellent all-rounder that captures enough detail to make good sized prints without generating too much noise for it to be used in low light conditions. It's also an excellent video camera that...
