- Canon EOS 5D Mark III DSLR Camera (Body Only)
The Canon EOS 5D Mark III DSLR Camera (Body Only) is a full-frame 22.3MP DSLR featuring exceptional still image and movie recordingcapabilities. Integrating Canon's new DIGIC 5+ Image Processor and 14-bit A/D conversion, this camera is able to produce superbly detailedimagery with immense low-light sensitivity that is further aided by an extended ISO range up to 102400. Image quality is further enhancedby the new 61-point high density reticular autofocus, including up to 41 cross-type AF points and 5 dual diagonal AF points for ensuredsharpness. iFCL metering works in conjunction with the AF system and uses color information from scenes to produce accurate exposurereadings using a 63 zone dual-layer metering sensor. HDR and Multiple Exposure modes provide greater creative opportunities and help you toreduce the amount of post-production time needed to produce high quality imagery. The 5D Mark III is also capable of recording full HDvideo with manual exposure control and in multiple frame rates, including 1080/30p and 720/60p. Still images can also be recorded up to6fps.
Image review is possible using the 1,040,000-dot 3.2" Clear View II LCD monitor, which features a high-transparency, reflection resistantmulti-coating for adequate viewing under bright conditions. The Intelligent Viewfinder also integrates a superimposed LCD providing youwith exposure information and features a 100% field of view.
A highly durable magnesium-alloy body surrounds the components and offers increased dust and weather resistance. An updated EOS IntegratedCleaning system also helps to reduce and remove dust within the camera body. Several of the physical controls on the camera body are fullycustomizable for a more efficient workflow and more convenient handling scheme. Dual CF and SD memory card support also increases thecompatibility of the camera. Support is also provided for the optional Canon Wireless File Transmitter and GPS receiver for remote logging,tracking, and sending of your imagery.
- 22.3 Megapixel Full-Frame CMOS Sensor
- A newly designed 22.3MP full-frame CMOS sensor is incorporated into the 5D Mark III providing you with highly detailed, rich imageswith a maximum resolution of 5760 x 3840 pixels. The sensor is also features a high S/N ratio and larger individual pixels forincreased visual depth and cleaner looking images. A new photodiode structure and increased photoelectric conversion rate alsohelps to improve the overall sensitivity of the sensor, resulting in a reduction in image noise and improved high ISO performance.
- DIGIC 5+ Image Processor
- Processing speed and power are increased to promote significantly greater overall performance and response from all aspects of thecamera. New algorithms are incorporated in order to promote better noise reduction for higher ISOs and chromatic aberrationcompensation. The increase in processing speed also helps to improve the continuous shooting rate, bringing it to 6 full-resolutionframes-per-second.
- 14-bit A/D Conversion
- The 14-bit signal processing helps to improve the quality and gradation of images by producing more natural, smooth-lookingresults. An increased ISO range is also provided, from 100 to 25600 in standard modes and 50 to 102400 in expanded modes. The ISOrange can be controlled and customized depending on the user's preferences, and additionally an auto ISO mode can be employed. Thisextended sensitivity range helps to counter frequently changing and difficult lighting situations and significantly minimizes noisewhen photographing with even the top-rated sensitivity.
- 61-Point High Density Reticular AF
- The newly designed 61-point autofocus interface helps to ensure critical focus no matter how complex or difficult the situation is.Featuring up to 41 cross-type AF points (with f/4 lens support) and 5 dual diagonal AF points (with f/2.8 sensitivity); this AFsystem is highly accurate and extremely low-light sensitive.
The dedicated AF menu tab permits quick and easy access, eliminating the need to navigate through settings menus in order to modifyyour AF settings. Autofocus point selection is broken up into 6 different methods-Spot, Single Point, Single + 4 Adjacent Points,Single + 8 Adjacent Points, Zone Selection, and Automatic AF Point Selection-as well as a dedicated AF configuration tool forcontrol of AI Servo AF III tracking parameters.
- iFCL 63-Zone Dual Layer Metering Sensor
- An intelligent metering system works in conjunction with the autofocus system and independently analyzes 'Focus, Color, andLuminance' within the scene for the most precise exposure settings possible. The 63 zones cover the entire image area with greatdetail and the dual-layer design permits a wider sensitivity to different wavelengths of light.
The dual layers are split into a red/green channel and a blue/green channel; which counters the red light sensitivity biaselectronic sensors inherently have. A series of algorithms are employed to combine data received from both layers, with theresulting exposure reading being extremely accurate regardless of the shooting conditions.
- EOS HD Video
- Full HD video recording is supported in multiple formats, including 1080/30p, 24p, 25p; 720/60p, 50p; 480/30p, 25p. While recordingvideo, a 4GB automatic file partition is employed in order to gain longer continuous recording times, up to 29 minutes 59 seconds.Both All i-frame and IPB compressions are supported as well as the standard H.264/MPEG -4 AVC codec. Embedding the time code isalso possible for greater convenience when recording with multiple cameras.
Video performance is further enhanced with the ability to manually adjust your exposure settings and audio levels while recording.By employing Live View, you can view your recording on the LCD and make settings changes with a dedicated menu tab on the fly. TheDIGIC 5+ processor also dramatically improves video response times and helps to reduce color artifacts, aberrations, and moir.
- Rugged and Efficient Design
- Constructed from magnesium-alloy, the 5D Mark III features a toughened housing that provides enhanced dust and weather resistance.Its ergonomic design also produces an intuitively navigable interface with an emphasis on lessening hand strain and increasingfunctionality. Handling is simplified and natural with this body due to the incorporation of customizable controls: You can makeshooting settings with just your right hand, and fast image check and image processing operations with just your left. Theredesigned grip offers easy holding when shooting or carrying the camera, while the rubber skin coating has been engineered for allday comfort in your hand and also coats the camera's card slot cover. Additionally, there's an internal headphone terminal and dualcard slots supporting both CF and SD / SDHC / SDXC memory cards. Three recording modes are ideal for a variety of workflows: Autoswitch media instructs the camera to swap cards as soon as one card is filled, a great feature for long shoots. The camera can alsorecord separately to each card. For extra security, you can set the Mark III to generate an automatic backup by recording the samefile to both cards at the same time.
The 5D Mark III also boasts a dual-axis electronic level indicator displaying vertical and horizontal tilt on the LCDmonitor--either alone or during Live View shooting. The indicator may also be displayed in the intelligent viewfinder, if youprefer.
A newly designed shutter is equally as durable and has been tested up to 150,000 cycles. The lightweight, carbon fiber blades alsoprovide support for the increased 6fps burst rate.
The body construction also features extensive gasketing for maximum dust and weather protection, even at connection points aroundthe lens, hot shoe, and memory card slots. Further dust protection and removal is aided by an updated EOS Integrated Cleaningsystem that uses a vibration-based dust removal process.
- Intelligent Viewfinder
- The optical viewfinder provides a 100% field of view with 0.71x magnification and a wide viewing angle of 34.1%deg;. A refineddesign integrates aspherical lens elements into the construction and lessens distortions and color aberrations while providinggreater clarity for composing imagery. In addition to a clear view, a superimposed, transparent LCD is also incorporated. ThisIntelligent Viewfinder mode can be toggled on or off quickly at the touch of a button, allowing you to remove all camerainformation for unobstructed viewing. The information provided when it is on includes a customizable display of focus points andgrid lines, which can also be directed to appear outside of the image area.
Canon's Dual Axis Electronic Level can also be used in conjunction with the Intelligent Viewfinder and visually displays pitch androll angles, aiding in properly level horizons. When used in the viewfinder, this feature can display +/- 6 of roll and +/- 4 ofpitch in 1 increments when held horizontally (the inverse is shown when held vertically). The electronic level is particularlyuseful for landscape photographers and those working with tilt and shift lenses whose angle of view is especially critical.
- 3.2" Clear View II LCD Monitor
- The expanded 3.2" Clear View II LCD provides high quality viewing with a 1,040,000-dot resolution and anti-reflection coating. Thisallows for sharp and clear viewing in even the brightest of conditions and displays images and videos with great detail andrichness. The display also features a viewing angle up to 170 for review from the side or below.
The Dual Axis Electronic Level is also functional in on the LCD and can display a full 360 of roll and +/- 10 of pitch in 1increments. When used in conjunction with Live View mode, a smaller display is placed over the image. Live View mode permitsreal-time image review and can also place grid lines over the image for compositional help. You can also zoom into and navigatewithin the image when in Live View and use the grid lines for minute control and precision over the alignment of your photograph.
- Multiple Exposure and High Dynamic Range
- Multiple exposures are possible in-camera and can be recorded onto a single file using 4 distinct settings for control. When inAdditive mode, this closely resembles making multiple exposures on film and layers each exposure; manual exposure compensation isrequired. Average mode layers the images and automatically compensates for the final exposure, eliminating the unintendedpossibility of gross under or overexposure. Bright mode is specifically designed for photographing in uniformly dark scenes with abright subject, such as a studio environment. Dark mode functions inversely, and helps to eliminate overly bright sections of theimage including reflections and highlights.
A High Dynamic Range (HDR) mode is also incorporated and allows for the creation of HDR images in-camera, reducing the time neededto manually overlay images in post-production. When using this mode, a series of 3 bracketed exposures are made of the same image,then automatically integrated into the same frame, resulting in a photograph without blown highlights or blocked up shadows and along middle range of tones. This mode is especially useful when photographing scenes with a great deal of contrast.
- Wireless and GPS Compatible
- The 5D Mark III is compatible with the WFT-E7A Wireless File Transmitter as well as the GP-E2 GPS Receiver (both not included). TheWFT-E7A, which supports 802.11 a/b/g/n and sports a built-in Gigabit Ethernet connection, provides LAN and Bluetooth imagetransfers and features an FTP mode with automatic image resend function to ensure file delivery even if the signal momentarilydrops. The transmitter also has EOS utility mode and WFT server mode, and is capable of performing time sync multiple cameras onthe same network. The GP-E2, which connects via USB or Hot Shoe, automatically embeds location data into the images' metadata,including latitude, longitude, elevation, and the camera's orientation in relation to a compass reading when shooting. It also hasa GPS time sync function, particularly useful when a project is shot among different time zones. Both of these accessories do notcompromise the 5D Mark III's dust and weather resistance and are designed to the same rugged specifications. 1
- Silent Shutter Mode
- In both single shot drive and continuous shot drive, a Silent Shutter mode can be employed to significantly reduce the sound thecamera makes when shooting.
- Electronic Level
- By pressing the INFO button an electronic level can be engaged and will appear on the LCD monitor to indicate the horizontal andvertical tilt of your camera. This is a very helpful feature for all photographic applications, but particularly landscape andarchitecture photography.
- Optional Battery Grip
- The optional dedicated Battery Grip BG-E11 (not included) features buttons and a multi-controller. It delivers seamless performanceregardless of whether the camera is in vertical or horizontal orientation. The grip takes 2 LP-E6 batteries or an included AAbattery magazine, and is useful in counter-balancing large lenses during handheld shooting.
