Hye there, if you are Canon 5D mark
II enthusiast this review should be your perfect review if you are looking for
new generation of 5D series especially in video making technology. Previously,
5D mark ii is not disappointing you in order to capture high quality photo or
video. Now, does 5D mark iii will perform much better then 5D mark ii based on its
new features. I believed this camera is the main topic which is discussed among
videographer out there. Now let’s check it out :-)
This new 5D Mark III DSLR which is
launched by Canon a few month ago, is a follow up to the 5D Mark II that offers
a feature set that sits somewhere between its predecessor (especially Nikon)
and 1D X which is also now released. The camera packs with a 22.3MP full-frame
sensor which is seem a bit higher then previous, the 61-point AF system found
in the 1D X make it faster than 5D mark II in focusing the subject., 63-zone
metering, an ISO range of 100-25600 (you can expand it into 50-102400), 6fps
continuous shooting, a 3.2-inch LCD (1.04M dots) with clear view, and 100%
viewfinder coverage (up from 98%). Hrmm, it was the main key for this beast huh
:-).
Ahaa, especially to those who are
very serious in the video recording department, the 5D Mark III is able to
capture H.264 footage at 1080p24/25/30 or 720p50/60 (still remain the same). In
addition to a stereo mic input such as RODE professional mic or Seinheiser, the
camera also features a headphone jack that allows you to monitor audio levels
while recording which is the standard features for 3CCD camera. Another huge
plus for filmmakers is the fact that the rear dial becomes touch sensitive
during video recording, allowing you to change settings without shaking the
camera or introducing clicking noises into your footage. We are already know
that DSLR videography handling is a bit harder than ordinary camcorder so I
think this dial will helps you to change the setting without disturbing your
recording. But the HDMI port will only deliver 720p if you are using an
external monitor to shoot out video. Maybe in the future it can support 1080p.
Who knows right :-)
Canon has packed this 5D mark III
with 22.3 megapixels, up from the 21.1 found in the 5D Mark II which is 1.2
megapixels higher. Although more pixels are crammed into the same dimensions,
the new sensor uses the gapless micro lens design found in the 1D X, and should
offer vastly improved low-light picture quality. Perfectly to those who hate
the noise which is appear in the dark shots.
As the photo management become more
important to photographers out there, the camera features a number of new
buttons, including a rating button for starring photos (before we only can rate
in using software such as ACDSee), a creative photo button similar to compact
camera, and a dedicated Live View button, and a multi-function button next to
the shutter release. The power switch has been moved to the top left next to the
locking mode dial, and there’s a new rear dial-locking slider on the back. This
is good if you are a clumsy person while taking the shot but you want to hold
the same setting without changes.
Hermm, something which is new and
pack with a new improvement will not always make you smile. Now we should look
to one of the most important details about any new camera: the price. The Canon
5D Mark III will be priced at $3,500 for the body only, or $4,300 when bundled
with the 24-105mm. I think this price is not very good to hear and will make
the previous 5D mark II owner will reconsidering the worthiness to buy this new
generation of 5D while the mark II is still relevance to capture superb both
image and video. We should pray that the price will be revised by Canon.
