The Canon EOS 5D Mark III is a professional 22.3 megapixels full-frame digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) camera made by Canon.
Succeeding the EOS 5D Mark II, it was announced on 2 March 2012,[2] the 25th anniversary of the announcement of the first camera in the EOS line, the EOS 650, and was also Canon's 75th anniversary.[3] The Mark III went on sale later in March with a retail price of $3,499 in the US, £2999 in the UK, and €3569 in the Eurozone.[4]

Features
Compared to the EOS 5D Mark II, the following changes were made, including:
- 22.3MP Full-Frame CMOS Sensor (5760 × 3840 pixels), the EOS 5D Mark II has 21.1 megapixels (5616 × 3744 pixels)
- DIGIC 5+ image processor, compared to DIGIC 4
- 100–25600 ISO (expandable to L: 50; H1: 51200; H2: 102400, ISO 100–6400 (expandable to H1: 12800; H2: 25600) on the 5D Mark II
- 61 AF points (41 cross-type AF points) with High-density Reticular AF, 9 AF points + 6 Assist Points on the 5D Mk. II. The Mark III's autofocus system is inherited from the recently announced EOS-1D X, and marks the first time since the EOS-3 film SLR that Canon has put its top-of-the-line autofocus system in a non-1-series body.[3]
- Faster frames per second at 6 fps, 3.9 fps on the 5D Mark II
- TTL, full aperture, 63 zones compared to TTL, full aperture, 35 zones
- Silent, low vibration TTL shooting modes (single shot or 3 frames/s), compared to live-view-only silent shooting modes.
- 100% viewfinder, compared to 98% coverage
- Larger 3.2-inch (81 mm) LCD with 3:2 aspect ratio, compared to 3.0-inch (76 mm) at 4:3. In turn, this means that the native still images of the Mk III completely fill the screen, while the Mk II's native images are displayed with a black border on the bottom of the LCD. Also, while HD video remains letterboxed on the Mk III LCD, as on the Mk II, the 3:2 ratio allows more of the screen to be used for video display.[4]
- Headphone-out to monitor audio, the previous one having none.
- Dual card slots—one CompactFlash (CF) with full UDMA support, and one SD (including SDHC and SDXC cards, but does not exploit the UHS-I mode). The Mk II has only one CF slot.
- Eyecup Eg instead of Eb
Known defects
Canon issued a product advisory indicating that the camera's LCD panel, when illuminated in extremely dark environments, may impact the camera's light metering when shooting.[5] Any camera bodies sold with the issue will be fixed by Canon free of charge, and any body shipped after the first week of May 2012 likely had the defect already rectified.
Firmware updates
Firmware 1.2.1 was released on April 30, 2013 to allow the camera to output uncompressed video via HDMI and permit autofocus ability up to f/8.[6]
Firmware 1.2.3 was released on October 30, 2013, fixing a number of minor bugs.[7]
Firmware 1.3.3 was released on January 29, 2015, fixing minor menu issues and improved AF controllability when shooting in Live View mode with a wide-angle lens.
