The successor to the legendary Canon EOS 5D Mark II has finally been revealed to the masses as the 5D Mark III.
Building
on what made its predecessor so popular, the Mark III retains core
professional detailing such as the magnesium-alloy chassis, 35mm sized
full-frame CMOS sensor, and relatively the same pixel amount (22.3MP
from 21MP).
On the other hand, perhaps everything else has
been improved upon including the monstrous update to 61 AF points – 41
of which are crosstype, improved pentaprism design to fulfill a new
near-100% viewfinder field of vision, and strengthened shutter unit to
withstand a professional-level 150,000 actuations and 6
frames-per-second continuous burst mode. A release is slated for late
March but various pre-orders are now available.
