Canon EOS 5D Mark III - digital cameras (Auto, Cloudy, Custom modes, Daylight, Flash, Fluorescent L, Shade, Tungsten, Movie, Single image, Slide show, Electrical, Battery, SLR Camera Kit, TTL)

Canon 5d best camera going, however sold as new uk camera....arrived with language set to japanese, and a charger plug showing this is a grey import....took two days to get into English so I could use it and then found the lens was on lock down so wouldn't take pics. Finally got it working and it is good. Reported faults to seller, got no reply, and spoke to amazon who also e.mailed seller...got no reply. Great camera but not as it was described.

I have been thinking about buying this camera for a while now and when I saw the price here on AMAZON I just could not resist. I know it is a lot of money but if you think about it the advantages of this camera is great and over time it will pay for its self by giving you quality pictures, imadjin 25,600 ASA ISO and 22.3 mb can you really ask for more at such a super price here from this seller delivery only a small amount. The best thing though is the speed that you get it mine came only after the third day from my order and well packed recorded. I would highly recomend this seller and would definately buy from him again just give me a chance.

Item returned as it was used and damaged. Scratched and worn. Terrible quality.

The Canon 5D mark 3 , replaced my cropped sensor 600D and the difference is amazing - now having an opportunity to use 61 focus points and a full frame sensor makes life easier. Nearly all the time I leave my ISO setting on AUTO with excellent results even in poor light , I won`t go into all the technical improvements as many others have already done so. I bought mine from HDEW CAMERAS in Surry , England for £1889 with a 3 year warranty brand new - I would recommend anyone lokking for this body only to call them or check them out on line , you won`t be disappointed! Their service is excellent - 24/48 courier delivery , for £10 extra (worth it) - to those people like myself that had their fingers burned on a previous purchase - these guys are the real deal. I don`t get paid or have no connection to this company but I got what I paid for in a very short time!

arrived quickly, this item is fit for purpose and fulfils my needs. I will use this seller again.

I have to say, after purchasing this camera i thought i made a huge mistake and all those months of saving up had plundered into the drain, but then i started using the camera. After seeing it focus well i was able to capture great detail with both my 100mm Macro and 24-105mm lenses. [Great full frame'ness] It's brilliant to be able to get more in your shot without having to back away from the subject, especially with macro shots. Build quality is good, feels solid in the hands [like the 7d] good grippy texture. Video mode is fun to play with too, with HD 1080p video playback.

I have a Canon 600D with which I have been very happy, but I have always wanted a camera with a full frame sensor. It made sense to stay with Canon as most of my other lenses can be used. I'm very pleased with the results from this one, though I have much to learn to get the most from it. Only disappointment was that the software that came with it was intended for Asia and Oceania. I downloaded the software from the Canon website.

Shocked to discover, a while after the purchase, that i have been most likely scammed. Brought the camera for a checkup, and the repairman said that it is likely that the shutter was replaced to make the camera look younger and less used than it actually was. Apparently it's had a tough life before i got it, and I don't like this in the slightest.

I used a 7D prior to this. I have both bodies now. I'll spare you the technical aspects of the camera, because honestly, I don't think it matters that much. What is important to me is that the camera has the ability to do what you need it to, and it doesn't make it a chore to do so. It needs to remove itself from the process as much as possible so you can make the art not master how to flip switches or earn the high score at The Game of Menus. I'll preface the remainder of the review with some information about my shooting style. 1. I'm a RAW only guy; I just don't think about JPG. 2. I can sometimes be an IQ geek (I try not to be). 3. I only shoot in manual mode... because I don't ever remember that Av and Tv exist (I've long forgotten about P and A). 4. I turn off just about every setting that exists. Highlight priority, Noise reduction, long exposure comp, etc... all off. 5. I usually only shoot in Expanded AF Area or Spot AF. 6. I process everything through LR. Now... here's what I like about the 5D Mark III: - The 5D III has some wonderful ISO response, especially compared to my 7D. I was only marginally content up to ISO 400 on the 7D, but I'm happy with ISO 6400 on the 5D before I feel the need to apply some noise reduction (I shoot with all that off). This lets me shoot in darker places without my own light, which is great. - Handling the camera is a joy, but man does it have menus out the yingyang. Sometimes it is a bit annoying to have to go from one end of the menus to another (e.g., from Mirror Lock up to Format Card). I am glad they took Mirror Lock up out of the Custom functions... of course... there are custom functions. For that mirro lock up bit, just set a "Tripod mode" to one of the C's on the dial and problem solved. Easy. In my hands, I really like the 5D III w/ Grip. It's bulky and heavy. It definitely feels like a tool and not a toy. Then again... I'm one of those people that liked the original O controllers for the Xbox. I held it in a bit of a weird way, though. - The AF system is great (coming from the 7D). Now when I shoot with my 7D, I feel the same as when I used a 5D II from using the 7D's AF system. The viewfinder is oddly... bare on the 7D. - The dial lock is amazing. My 7D is always ending up in Bulb or a Custom mode (it hangs at my hip from a strap). 5D III? Never changes modes, and I surely never want it to... except for tripods, which is so rare anyway. - Images come out great (when I don't suck). This is really more a consequence of the glass on the front (and my own skills holding the camera still), but the 5D III doesn't hinder the process at all. - Very well rounded. Decent FPS (7D is faster, which is why I keep it around), great ISO response, Full Frame, great AF, and wonderful button placement. Naturally, I could go to a 1DX from the 7D, but that's a lot of money, and then I lose the "1.6x crop factor" (which is only a composition/FOV thing; there is no actual magnification... beyond the differences in different size and pixel pitch senors and so forth. That's all really beside the point). All in all, it's a great camera. More MP than you need, well thought out ergonomics, and so many functions. If you are looking for a Full Frame camera that isn't $6,000, this is a wonderful option. There's also the 6D, too, and they're pretty much the same thing minus some choice features. I bought this camera before the 6D came out, and I don't regret it. If you are a professional photographer, I don't really know why you are reading this review. You already know way more than I do. If you are a serious photographer looking for a good FF camera, I give this thing a thumbs up. If you are a serious [money] amateur looking for a great all around camera (or a great FF), sure, I'd wager you won't be disappointed. If you're tight on cash, buy a much cheaper camera and invest the rest in your retirement or in glass. After all, glass matters more than the camera. I've never met anyone who can look at a photo and tell me which camera it was shot with or even which brand. Lens maybe, camera definitely not. Give a photographer a Canon Powershot, and I'm sure he/she can make better stuff than I can with this fancy pants 5D III.

Très content de mon choix! Merci pour la livraison rapide. La caméra vaut de l'argent.

Envió ok y rápido, unos 5 días laborables, la cámara va espectacular, por poner una pega, no trae libro de instrucciones en español y el tema de la garantía no lo tengo claro, si la cubre Canon España, por lo demás todo bien.

Was a gift and she loves the camera.....

Saved for a long time for this camera and it has taken my business up several notches! I have been incredibly pleased with its performance and the quality of the shots I am finally able to achieve. I did a lot of research and spoke with many seasoned photographers before I made my choice. So glad I did!
