Canon EOS 5D Mark III: Technologies and Functions

 Back from the press presentation of the new full frame DSLR Canon EOS 5D Mark III (the link to our presentation), we publish the comprehensive presentation of the technologies implemented on the machine.
We open with a picture of the structure of the new camera, very robust because it is made of magnesium alloy and built around an aluminum chassis. Externally the car is little changed compared to the Canon EOS 5D Mark II, however, because historical first car brand (only surpassed by the more "old Niikon D90) one offering HD video recording day.

 New Full Frame CMOS sensor 22.3 megapixel

Canon has designed and manufactured in its full frame CMOS sensor with 22.3 megapixels, a resolution that will print rich in detail up to A2.
The new architecture of CMOS promises wider dynamic range and low noise, as well as lower power consumption.
New photodiodes with optimized transistors within each pixel offer superior sensitivity to light, while microlenses with no gaps (gapless) provide greater light-gathering capabilities for better image quality in low light conditions.
The sensor incorporates an advanced technology of noise reduction on each pixel.
The read-out 8-channel high-speed combines with Canon's DIGIC image processor 5 + for speed shooting up to 6 frames per second at full resolution, up to 16,270 JPEG or 18 RAW files.

DIGIC 5 +: 6 Photo / Second
