Canon EOS 5D Mark III Digital SLR Camera Body
In 1987 Canon unveiled the EOS 650 to the world. It was the Japanese
manufacturer's first 35mm autofocus SLR and the start of the EOS system. With
its fully-electronic lens mount, in-lens aperture and focus motors, and reliance
on electronic button and dial operation, Canon's EOS system established a
blueprint that all successive camera systems have followed. Now, 25 years later,
the Canon EOS 5D Mark III is the latest model in the line.
The Canon EOS 5D Mark III Digital Camera (Body Only) is a full-frame
22.3MP DSLR featuring exceptional still image and movie recording capabilities.
Integrating Canon's new DIGIC 5+ Image Processor and 14-bit A/D
conversion, this camera is able to produce superbly detailed imagery with
immense low-light sensitivity that is further aided by an extended ISO range up
to 102400. Image quality is further enhanced by the new 61-point high density
reticular auto focus, including up to 41 cross-type AF points and 5 dual
diagonal AF points for ensured sharpness. iFCL metering works in conjunction
with the AF system and uses colour information from scenes to produce accurate
exposure readings using a 63 zone dual-layer metering sensor. HDR and Multiple
Exposure modes provide greater creative opportunities and help you to reduce the
amount of post-production time needed to produce high quality imagery. The 5D
Mark III is also capable of recording full HD video with manual
exposure control and in multiple frame rates, including 1080/30p and 720/60p.
Still images can also be recorded up to 6fps.
Full HD video recording is supported in multiple formats, including
1080/30p, 24p, 25p; 720/60p, 50p; 480/30p, 25p. While recording video, 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 is also possible for greater convenience when recording
with multiple cameras.
The EOS 5D Mark III features a newly developed Canon full-frame 22.3
Megapixel CMOS sensor that's designed from the ground up to create high
resolution, perfectly detailed images with unprecedented speed and clarity. A
full 24 x 36mm, the sensor captures 5784 x 3861 large individual 6.25 µm pixels
and has a much-improved S/N ratio resulting in better images from the start. A
new photodiode structure with an increased photoelectric conversion rate
increases the sensor's sensitivity by approximately 2 stops over previous
models, meaning higher ISO’s with the lowest noise of any
EOS digital camera. The EOS 5D Mark III not only offers 14-bit signal
processing for excellent image gradation, it delivers higher standard and
expanded ISOs, and a score of new options to enhance shooting in varied and
fast-changing lighting situations. With a standard range of ISO 100-25600, the
EOS 5D Mark III represents a 2-stop increase in sensitivity over previous
cameras. Thanks to the improved signal-to-noise ratio of the new sensor and
powerful noise reduction, the EOS 5D Mark III can shoot at expanded
sensitivities down to ISO 50 (L) and up to 51200 (H1), and even 102400 (H2).
Beyond the obvious advantages of its wide ISO range, the EOS 5D Mark III
has automatic ISO settings, found on the dedicated ISO menu. Minimum and maximum
ISO settings can be specified, as can a user-defined range, plus full auto and
manual. For a whole new level of performance, the EOS 5D Mark III uses a
DIGIC 5+ Image Processor. Working with two 4-channel A/D converter front-end
processing circuits, and delivering speeds of up to 6.0 fps (RAW + JPEG), and
the DIGIC 5+ Image Processor improves data processing performance and
features new algorithms that promote greater noise reduction at higher ISOs. In
addition to conventional image processing functions the DIGIC 5+ Image Processor
offers real-time compensation for chromatic aberration in both still and motion
images. With the power of this processor, speed improvements are noticeable from
the instant the camera is turned on and the stunning results speak for
themselves.
Image review is possible using the 1,040,000-dot 3.2" Clear View II LCD monitor,
which features a high-transparency, reflection resistant multi-coating for
adequate viewing under bright conditions. The Intelligent Viewfinder also
integrates a superimposed LCD providing you with 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 Integrated Cleaning system
also helps to reduce and remove dust within the camera body. Several of the
physical controls on the camera body are fully customizable for a more efficient
workflow and more convenient handling scheme. Dual CF and SD memory card support
also increases the compatibility 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.
