Had used the 5D for many years. Recently bought the Mark III. They are both full-frame professional cameras. The upgrades on the Mark III are desirable. First, the ISO goes from auto to 100 to 25,600. Noise at levels I've explored is not detectable. I needed this feature for darker venues with and without speedlights. There is an automatic cleaning sensor. There is a lock to change from AV to TV, etc. so mistakes are averted. Of course, there are more pixels and video. The display is larger. It is easy to adapt to the new camera. There is new software which can be downloaded from the internet, I have the disc. Style settings as in the 5D are available, however the default settings for the styles are impressive. I'm exploring the manual and eager to learn the new bells and whistles. Be careful when you buy this camera - you might fall in love.Read full review

I think holding back tech poisons a brand. I bought the Mk3 for improved autofocus over the 6D but really it doesn't do that well. On the 6D the center focus point is +/- 3EV (focuses will in low contrast situations like a dimly lit room) On the 5D Mk 3 it's a +/-2 EV (Thats worse than the 6D) but it makes up for it supposedly with more AF Points. Well that's fine I guess it makes that difference marginal. You can focus and recompose if you're not close to your subject with the 6D in low light and you'll nail focus better. If you're at the minimum distance, in low light when focus and recompos wont work the 5D3 might get the shot but a lot of the time +/- 2EV won't find it. They also left out GPS and wifi which I don't care about because they did a terrible job implimenting that in the 6D anyway. It's heavier than the 6D They also have waited over 4 years to update it when other companies make a new edition every 2 or so. A lot of people are itching to leave Canon/Nikon and I don't blame them.Read full review

These Canon 5D series of cameras have been the workhorses for professional image making for quite a few years and they still create very good quality images. I have the Mark II and Mark III. The Mark III image quality is not much different than the Mark II but the Mark III has a number of improvements for better handling and better focusing etc. The only down side to these cameras is their size and weight. My other cameras are Micro 4/3s.

After working with the Canon 5D classic and the Mark II for years, this camera, the5D Mark III is a step up for me. The fact that is a few years old was a moot point for me. The price I paid for it was a great deal. It is soo clean, not one speck of dust visible in the viewfinder. And because it has so many features that allow me to do so many things, I'm giving it a five star rating. With only 6,303 shutter clicks, it was hardly broken in. Another star by itself. Yes I'm loving it along with my new 70-200mm 2.8 IS II L lens. Already shot some awesome photos as pictured here.

I call myself a "Hobbyist" Photographer. I shoot a lot of pet portraits, dogs for rescue groups, landscapes and weddings. I finally took the plunge and upgrades to my first full frame camera. Having come from a Canon 7D II, I am very used to the menus and settings so there was a very small learning curve. If you are getting a camera to have the camera do all of the work, I would say look at a simpler camera - this one is not for you. If you have moved beyond and want to take control - this camera is awesome and does very well in low light. One small disadvantage for the average photographer is there is no on-board flash. I have a collection of canon flashes and can easily overcome this but you will need a flash or some lighting if you get this camera. When I took my first shots, I could immediately tell there was a major difference, even from my Canon 7D II. Solid, quick (very important when you are shooting rescue dogs who rarely sit still) and felt wonderful. First time I have been excited about a camera product in a long time. Wish I could upload a pic to show, but trust me, if you have moved beyond the realm of photo's for fun and are ready to get serious, this is the perfect instrument! Read full review
