Canon EOS 5D Mark III Accessory review
Annie Leibovitz, David Lachapelle, and all such other major studio photographers make a living by manipulating light. This can be quite an expensive endeavor, and a financial hurdle that every serious photographer must leap at some point. It also...

Canon EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM Review
If your demands don't require a fixed f/2.8 zoom lens, the Canon EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM will reward you with sharp images and a useful zoom range.

Review: Canon EOS 5D Mark III
The 22.3-megapixel Canon EOS 5D Mark III captured some of the cleanest images I've seen from a DSLR when shooting in low light at high...
In-camera HDR (High Dynamic Range) feature combines three shots into one image with better exposure. “Silent” shooting mode helps capture stealthy candid portraits. Rank photos in-camera with one to five stars, then carry those ratings over to Adobe...
Only slightly more resolution than four-year-old previous model. Starting price nearly ,000 higher than predecessor. Built-in mic only offers mono sound

Canon EOS 5D Mark III
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...
Good resolution and detail in raw files ; Good color and tonality across the ISO range ; Reliable metering even in difficult contrast situations ; Very responsive and snappy operation, thanks to new Digic 5+ processor ; 6 frames per second continuous...
Destructive noise reduction results in mushy JPEGs, even at base ISO ; Visible sharpening artifacts at default settings ; Heavy-handed noise reduction leads to lack of low-contrast detail at higher ISOs ; Distortion correction not available 'on the fly...
The Canon EOS 5D Mark III is not only a very capable photographic tool in almost all areas, it's also fun and exciting to shoot with. The only downside are the slightly soft and overprocessed out-of-camera JPEGs. This is only visible at pixel-level but...

Canon EOS 5D Mark III review: Canon EOS 5D Mark III
Canon EOS 5D Mark III
The ; offers a more streamlined shooting design, significantly updated feature set with more configurability, plus better performance over its predecessor. It maintains its excellent photo and video quality as well.
JPEG photos at low ISO sensitivities don't match the generally excellent level of quality that you can otherwise get out of this camera.
While it's not a no-brainer upgrade over the Mark II, the Canon EOS 5D Mark III is worth the price premium if better performance and configurability matter to you.

Canon EOS 5D Mark III Review
The Canon EOS 5D Mark III looks a lot like its predecessor on the outside, but offers plenty of improvements under the hood. It's a solid option for advanced shooters with an investment in Canon glass, but doesn't match the rapid-fire shooting...
