Canon eos 5d mark 3

5D Mark 3: Hardware The 5D mk3 gets a 3.2-inch LCD and a locking mode dial like the 60D's. Some of the controls have been shifted around the camera's back panel, and an image rating button has been added. Photos can be rated from 0 to 5 stars, and the information will be carried through to post-processing in Photoshop. The 5D III will have a 100% coverage viewfinder with 0.71x magnification and a 22mm eyepoint. A dual-axis electronic level is available for viewing using the LCD or OVF. It's also equipped with a 150,000 cycle shutter and dual SD/CF card slots. Significant Updates to Sensor, Metering, Processor A Canon-engineered full frame 22.3 megapixel CMOS sensor graces the 5D Mark III, complete with 8-channel readout, a native ISO range of 100-25,600 (expandable up to 102,400) and a new chip architecture using gapless microlenses at each photosite. Canon claims new transistors within the chip itself will provide better noise reduction to both JPEG and RAW shooters, and also promises reduction in moiré. The Canon 1D X's powerful 61-point auto focus system and AI Servo III algorithm are carried down to the 5D III, a major jump from the 5D II's 9 point system. Of those 61 points, 21 are cross-type effective to an f/5.6 aperture and 5 are diagonal cross-type points. AF functions are now available via a designated AF menu tab. The 5D Mark II's 35-zone metering system has been upgraded to a 63-zone sensor that utilizes color and focus information to determine proper exposure. Many features have been added to the 5D III that were not available to 5D II shooters. Most of those are thanks to a new, faster DIGIC 5+ processor, including up to 6 fps burst shooting.
