After months of rumors and speculation, the next generation of Canon\u2019s most popular pro-level shooter has arrived. On Friday, the company announced details of its long-awaited EOS 5D Mark III DSLR camera.<\/p>\n

Notable updates are plentiful. There\u2019s a totally new 22.3-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor (up from 21.1 on the Mark II) with a new photodiode structure that reduces image noise. The ISO range has been improved \u2014 the camera gains two stops on the high end and now goes from 100 to 25,600, with additional extended settings of 50, 51,200 and 102,400. The Mark III also inherits a few key features from Canon\u2019s recently announced EOS-1D X, like the new DIGIC 5+ image processor, the 61-point autofocus system, on-chip image correction and a multi-exposure mode.<\/p>\n

Canon\u2019s previous 5D model has been central to the rise of the DSLR video scene, with indie auteurs shooting fantastic-looking HD video on their Mark IIs, so we expected this update to come with several video-specific performance bumps. The Mark III shoots 1080p video at up to 30 frames per second, but video is now processed by the DIGIC 5+ chip, which Canon says reduces image noise and moir\u00e9 effects much better than the DIGIC 4 chip. There\u2019s a new on-camera H.264 compression engine and new timecode-embedding features. The LCD monitor is now 3.2 inches (up from 3 inches) and has new touch-screen controls for silently adjusting your settings while you\u2019re recording.<\/p>\n

The Mark III will be available at the end of March at an estimated price of $3,500 for the body only, and $4,300 bundled with a 24-105mm f\/4 zoom lens. The last-generation 5D Mark II \u2014 which has grown to become one of the most popular DSLRs in the world since its release three and a half years ago \u2014 will remain in the Canon line-up for at least the next few months. You\u2019ll also be able to get one pretty cheap on Craigslist starting this weekend, no doubt (or at least a used Nikon D700).<\/p>\n

The Mark III lands with a slew of optional accessories in tow, like a GPS receiver ($390), a wireless file transmitter ($850), a battery grip ($490, seen in one of the photos above) and the new Speedlite 600EX-RT wireless flash ($630) and transmitter ($470).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
