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: 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.

Pros: File.. Colors.. ISO can be used up to 3000 without major regrets. Programmable keys... 3 types of raw.. Customizable menus and buttons. adequate screen... ergonomics.. Grip.. velocity.. Tropical.. Robust.. Shutter noises too good.. Accessories available at very low prices. handle type battery, wrap-around cases, batteries etc etc..

Cons: It doesn't have any! at least as far as I could see. Maybe if you really have to find something for him... I would have liked a third wheel opposed to the upper front one for the apertures, but there is the one of the rear set that compensates.. and maybe a customizable viewfinder.. and maybe the buffer which is definitely not the fastest in existence. Today's ones allow for multiple consecutive shots in RAW. The autofocus is not very suitable for birdlife, if there is no contrast it tends to lose the subject, of course it also depends on the lens used.

Opinion: Fantastic!!!!!!! Really fantastic camera, I got it used after a 400D and 40D, I also used them and it amazed me and made me want to look for fantastic shots. It consumes normally and in any case depends a lot on the lens used and the time the screen is turned on as well as its brightness. It produces files large enough to be able to crop big, the raw (full, medium and narrow) are really workable all of them well. It has all the important functions and the keys are programmable. With Magic Lantern installed, the functions are amplified with customizations that become enormous even for photography, the video sector does not interest me. Precise soft trigger keys, perfect weight, fantastic grip! in short, the ultimate camera for those who love photography..!
