Long, frantically waiting for professional photographers and fans, finally reaches the heir of the Canon EOS-5D Mark III. The news are many: the Canon 5D Mark III improves on almost all fronts.
The new full frame DSLR (conversion ratio for the optics: 1:1) has a new 22.3 megapixel CMOS sensor with improved noise reduction "on chip", which promises less noise and a wider dynamic range.
The DIGIC 5 + is even 17 times faster than the built in previous EOS-5D Mark III.
The machine is enclosed in a robust body, with the aluminum chassis and a magnesium alloy exterior structure. A machine "tropicaliizzata", with a series of seals even more effective than that present on the Mark II.
The shutter is tested to 150,000 cycles.
All work on the design of the SLR is particularly noticeable with respect to the mode wheel, Quick Menu button. Canon has also changed perfected the functions of some buttons on the side of the LCD.
Display "Clear View II" 3.3-inch display with a resolution of 1.04 million pixels.
Important improvements related to the viewfinder, which now has a coverage of 100% and can display grids when the photographer has the need.
The weight of the machine, including the battery is 950 grams. The dimensions are: 152 x 116 x 76 mm.
For exposure, the 63-system areas iFCL. To focus a new system to 61 points "High Density reticular", with 41 cross type points and 5 dual-cross type.
The point selection allows you to choose from six options: spot, single, single w / 4 or 8 points surrounding area, and automatic.
The Canon 5D Mark III can, of course, shooting in RAW format, with the ability for the photographer a choice of 3 resolutions: 22 megapixels, 10.5 megapixel, 5.5 megapixel camera.
Are present all the manual controls; the sensitivity has a range between 50 and 102400 ISO.
Firms will be many who do not use it well, but the Mark III 5F allows even a novice to shoot in automatic mode with Scene Intelligent Auto (the camera does all the choosing the best parameters for the shooting conditions which analyzed).
Perhaps not everyone will be happy, but the new full frame DSLR Canon does not incorporate a little more flash: it has the classic slide for the use of studio flash and the door synchro.
Improved Shutter Speed
Among the novelties of the machine even more convincing reactivity. The shutter speed is now coming up to 6 frames per second.
Among the advanced features of the EOS 5D Mark III are to be reported multiple exposure, which combines up to nine different exposures into a single image, the new HDR (ranges up to ± 3 stops and five styles, of course, art standard, vivid art, art bold, embossed art), the electronic level and the new two-axis editing function and comparing photos taken in RAW, with display function side-by-side.
Performance with Full HD Video
With the Canon 5D Mark III can record full HD 1920 x 1080 (24p, 25p, 30p), with full manual control and mono audio.
