Pros: full frame, good quality, well build , AF well build, IT IS A GOOD MACHINE!

Cons: to expensive !!!

Opinion: i've got this camera from 2 years now. It is a good camera over all!! very good. Good construction. good features on it. too heavy, but it's professional. the AF sister is so fast and doing good job. Provide a good quality of picture, OK, now depends all of the lenses you are used. But with my canon 24-70 f/2.8 and the 70-200 f/4 L is working so good.

Pros: Dust and shock resistance, mechanical, tracking on the fast-moving subject, resolution, details, ease of use, battery, ergonomics, being a high-end all-rounder, aesthetics.

Cons: From 2012 to today, the changes imposed by new technologies. For me, no one, it's fine like this, I still own it today and I feel great.

Opinion: It was the year 2012, and I, in need of a change of pace compared to an APS-C, was oriented to know the technical and specific characteristics of this camera, for me, exceptional. I bought it without hesitation. From 2012 to today, I have "squeezed" it in every way, with all the lenses I own and have possessed in my past, in every shooting condition, in every weather condition. Easy to use, good simple and effective menu, nice sensor, excellent mechanics, shutter speed more than sufficient even for sports, eternal battery, excellent battery grip, good attachment and maintenance of focus on the moving subject, many focus points available. Nowadays, I use it with a wide-angle lens, I put it to rest a bit, it deserves it after years in which, almost every day, I always had it in my hands. Rating 8.5/9.0

Pros: Double slot, Canon, focus, RAW files always great working on them is great, not too many processing but the right ones

Cons: Honestly I struggle to find

Opinion: I bought on the occasion managing to give away a Sony a7 II, honestly I think I made the right choice, considering the various factors including the AF etc, it tolerates well high iso values without creating noise, I remembered I had a very brief parenthesis with the Sony, return to EOS excellent deal considering that I come from a 20d and a 5d old

Pros: Used price, iso hold, viewfinder, ergonomics, light files and splendid jpegs, remarkable AF, versatility

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: After many vicissitudes and passing through an aps-c I decided for a full frame purchase... Tested together with a mark II in a shop, as soon as I put my eye in the viewfinder the indecision vanished... the extra 250 euros was worth them all, another world compared to the very honorable mk II. Starting from the double slot, the tropicalization, passing through a REAL AF, ending on a more than decent burst, not even remotely comparable to the ISO hold (I had already used a friend's mk II and consequently I still have the files). All things that make it a definitive machine even if dated for amateur use and beyond, capable in my opinion of satisfying weddings as well as for sports or birdlife rather than simple portraits in the studio or with natural light. Excellent in combination with the very sharp 24-105 is stm, unfortunately a bit dark at 105 (in reality it does not lose anything thanks to the excellent stabilization that allows slower times than that for example of the L series f / 4) but which on the other hand makes up for it on the colors, excelled without smudges ... always splendid even with cheaper optics.

Pros: Considering that it was produced 12 years ago, I would say everything...

Cons: Considering that it was produced 12 years ago, I would say nothing...

Opinion: I state that I have been using the 5D Mk3 for about 10 years, mainly for sports photos, concerts or reportage and that I own other reflex cameras. Tested on the field, considering her age, she really has few rivals. It is a very modern camera, ergonomic in its management and versatile, very solid as befits a professional body. With the right optics and the right expertise, you can tackle all photographic genres, without envying anything to new generation cameras. It has an exceptional sensor, which produces workable and not very heavy files, with a beautiful color. It allows you to shoot even in critical light conditions, with ISO you can easily go up to 3200 without any particular deterioration. The result is brought home with dignity. Quick autofocus in locking on to the subject and sufficiently fast the burst. Like all PRO and FF cameras, the 5d Mk3 is at its best with professional, bright and quality optics. In short, a camera perhaps "dated" for some, but which in my opinion still has its say in the photographic field. Professional or amateur photographer, it is made for those who love to shoot with the heart and are not prey to marketing.
