The Canon EOS 5D Mark III is a professional grade 22.3 megapixels full-frame digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) camera made by Canon.
Succeeding the EOS 5D Mark II, it was announced on 2 March 2012, the 25th anniversary of the announcement of the first camera in the EOS line, the EOS 650, and was also Canon's 75th anniversary. The Mark III went on sale later in March with a retail price of $3,499 in the US, £2999 in the UK, and €3569 in the Eurozone.
New features over the EOS 5D Mark II are:
Canon issued a product advisory indicating that the camera's LCD panel, when illuminated in extremely dark environments, may impact the camera's light metering when shooting. Any camera bodies sold with the issue will be fixed by Canon free of charge, and any body shipped after the first week of May 2012 likely had the defect already rectified.
Firmware 1.2.1 was released on April 30, 2013 to allow the camera to output uncompressed video via HDMI and permit autofocus ability up to f/8.
Firmware 1.2.3 was released on October 30, 2013, fixing a number of minor bugs.
Firmware 1.3.3 was released on January 29, 2015, fixing minor menu issues and improved AF control-ability when shooting in Live View mode with a wide-angle lens.
Firmware 1.3.4 was released on 14 November 2016, it corrects a phenomenon in which when using the camera with the EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM lens, even if lens aberration correction is set to "Enable", correction will not be applied.
