Key Specs
22-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor
Good resolution means more detailed photos—plus, the full-frame sensor collects more light, resulting in clearer images with less noise.
ISO 100-25600 standard, 50-102,800 expanded
Similar resolution as the Mark II, but less noise at higher ISO due to new sensor.
6 frames-per-second continuous shooting
More FPS means missing fewer decisive moments while shooting action, sports or wildlife.
1080p30 video recording, stereo sound via external mic
Advanced video features make the Mark III a viable tool for videographers and hybrid shooters alike.
61-point autofocus system
Borrowing the AF system from the flagship EOS 1D X, the Mark III has very responsive and accurate autofocus, translating to sharper photos.
Upgrade
Canon continued the 5D line with the Canon 5D Mark IV, released in 2016. The Mark IV offers incremental upgrades from the Mark III, including higher megapixel count, faster AF and better video features.
Downgrade
If you’re looking for a better value with nearly all the same features, the previous model, the Canon 5D Mark II is a viable option, as well as the Canon 6D, which is a scaled-down model of the 5D Mark III.
