Body The lightweight components along with a robust body design of the EOS 5D Mark III is aimed at providing easy-handling, for more extensive and repeated use. Sporting a large eye-level pentaprism viewfinder for an expansive field of view, the 5D Mark III features a sizable 3.2 inch TFT colour LCD display with a 1,040,000 dot resolution
Do you use the custom shooting modes for this? Do they save the AF point settings, etc? It seems impossible right now to move the starting point of the 61 pt Auto AF point selection when not in an open field, or something. I have recently got a 5D markiii with a 300 2.8 lens plus 2xconverter and over the weekend was trying unsuccessfully to take shots of kingfishers diving in and bringing fish out of the water landing back on the same perch
Canon 7D Mark II Review
New 20.2MP APS-C CMOS Sensor with Dual Pixel AF The new 20.2MP sensor in the 7D Mark II delivers impressive image quality, particularly for an APS-C sensor. I have both the 7D Mk2 and 5D Mk3 and what i have to say that no review mentions is that, 7D Mk2 noise cleans up much better between ISO 1600 and ISO 12800+ (especially in video, using Premiere Pro + Neat Video)
Images are generally well exposed, thanks to the iFCL metering, and the white balance and Picture Styles deliver the colour and tones we expect from a top-end Canon camera. Existing Canon 5D Mark II users may find it takes a little getting used to as it reacts in a similar way to centre-weighted metering and puts greater emphasis on the subject under the active AF point
EOS 5D Mark III Shooting menu Shooting menu pages 1 and 2 on the EOS 5D Mark III The Canon EOS 5D Mark III inherits most of the menu items that EOS camera users would find familiar. On the display and operation side, you can configure viewfinder warnings, live view display, dial direction for settings adjustment, multi-function lock and customize controls on the camera
I'll also once again say the inability to articulate the screen is another major limitation of the 7D Mark II for filming movies - the 70D is just so much better for filming movies by sporting an articulated touch-screen, even if it misses out on 1080 frame rates above 30p. In other words, should the camera ignore objects that pass in front of the subject, how quickly should it respond to changes in speed, and how erratically will the subject be moving around
Stunning Full HD video with custom Movie Servo AF (speed and sensitivity) for continuous focus tracking of moving subjects, multiple frame rates including Full HD recording at 60p in MOV and MP4 formats and uncompressed HDMI out. High speed continuous shooting up to 10.0 fps allows you to capture fast action With a new, rugged shutter designed for 200,000 cycles, the EOS 7D Mark II can shoot up to 10 frames per second to capture all the action
AF tuning through AF Microadjustment has been available on the better Canon EOS bodies for years now, but the 5D III, like the 1D X, takes AFMA a step forward. Conditions I have shot in range from multiple light rain events and heavy clouds to full sun and with both backlit and front-lit subjects in fast motion
The EOS 5D Mark III features the latest DIGIC 5+ image processor, which produces noticeably faster image processing, start-up and image review times than the 3-year old 5D Me II (as you'd expect), and better noise reduction in high-ISO images (jump to the Image Quality page for ISO samples). DIGIC 5+ also allows the 5D Mark III to shoot a lot faster than the previous 5D model, obtaining a speed of 6fps for up to an incredible 16,000 full-sized JPEGs with a UDMA 7 (Ultra Direct Memory Access) Compact Flash memory card or 18 RAW images (the 5D could only shoot at 3.9fps)
This guide and the Mark III manual also explain which lenses can exploit which AF points in the system, as the most sensitive dual-cross type sensors in the middle only work with lenses at f2.8 or faster, while others are limited to f4 or faster. Like the Mark III, the D800 claims to exploit the speed of UDMA-7 1000x Compact Flash cards, but unlike the Mark III, it should also exploit the speed of UHS-1 SD cards
The noise reduction in higher ISO shots is excellent, giving me confidence to shoot people in lower light with faster shutter speeds, while maintaining a reasonable depth of field and no flash.Battery life is good, so far. I never felt the the MkII was enough of a step up from the Mk1 but the MkIII ticked all the boxes.There's no point rehashing functions and features so I'll focus on what it's been like to use these past 2 years.On my first day of ownership I put 13,000 frames on it shooting a local marathon
Additionally I usually use center focus, but at a basket ball game, the 63 points of focus combined with the variable AF means my photos are clear and far more interesting than if I simple focused solely on my grandson. The 22-megapixel Canon EOS 5D Mark III offers new autofocusing, metering and sensor technology and incorporates feedback from professional users to take this legacy to an entirely new level

You can select up to three different AF point selection methods corresponding to whether you hold the camera in a landscape orientation, portrait with the grip up, or portrait with the grip down orientation. The processor offers a number of advantages including in-camera Chromatic Aberration Correction that removes colour fringing and halos around high contrast edges, thus improving overall image quality and maximising the performance of Canon lenses

First seen on the EOS-1D X, the EOS 5D Mark III also features live audio level meters on the screen while filming, and a capacitive touch pad on the Quick Control Dial to allow silent audio level adjustment during filming. With either auto or full manual control over both exposure and audio levels it provides both newcomers to video and professionals with a powerful tool for shooting movies
RAW + JPEG Simultaneous Recording The image-recording quality can be selected in any combination of the three RAW and eight JPEG recording quality settings. (The numbering continues even when the folder changes.) (2) Auto reset * When you replace the camera's card, the numbering will be reset to start from 0001

One-Shot AF mode: Camera focuses upon the nearest subject taken-in by the 61-point AF array; the point or points that are used to actually focus on that nearest subject will be highlighted in the viewfinder momentarily, so the shooter knows what the camera has decided upon. Automatic AF point selection is often looked down upon by critical, experienced shooters, who often prefer to be in direct control of where their cameras focus

Exposure Simulation: This makes it possible to see a live histogram even in an automatic exposure mode, like P, Tv or Av, before video recording begins. Still image capture during movie recording is not the same thing as grabbing a frame from the movie footage; instead, the still image(s) are recorded as separate files (either JPEG or .CR2) and stored on the memory card the same way as other still images
A High Dynamic Range (HDR) mode is also incorporated and allows for the creation of HDR images in-camera, reducing the time needed to manually overlay images in post-production. The redesigned grip offers easy holding when shooting or carrying the camera, while the rubber skin coating has been engineered for all day comfort in your hand and also coats the camera's card slot cover

The 22-megapixel Canon EOS 5D Mark III offers new autofocusing, metering and sensor technology and incorporates feedback from professional users to take this legacy to an entirely new level. I shot my first wedding without that ability last week and wanted to call Canon to complain so badly! I wish I could talk to the developers and tell them to LOOK AT THE NIKON D7000'S FUNCTIONS! That said, my only regret is that I waited so long to upgrade, or that I didn't start with the Mark 5D line from the beginning
In response to this question, Chuck Westfall (Advisor, Technical Information, Canon USA) was gracious enough to prepare a detailed technical comparison for us. But the EOS 7D Mark II has a new 150,000 pixel RGB + IR Metering sensor, and uses it to provide iTR AF that is even more sophisticated than that of the EOS-1D X
