Canon EOS 5D III gains weight and features, but not many more pixels<\/h2>\n

The Canon EOS 5D III, which replaces the EOS 5D II, is set to introduce many of the features of the company?s recently announced flagship camera, the EOS 1D X, into a body aimed at enthusiast as well as professional photographers. Expected at the end of March 2012, priced \u00a32,999.99, the Canon EOS 5D III will bring the 61-point AF system of the EOS 1D X as well as the camera?s high-powered Digic 5+ processing engine to the semi-professional market, but with a full-frame sensor housing 22.3 million pixels. With eight-channel read-out, the single Digic 5+ (the EOS 1D X has two) processor will be able to handle 6 full-resolution frames per second for up to 18 raw files and over 16,000 jpgs, according to Canon. <\/p>\n

The camera?s ISO range has been improved from the ISO 100-6400 of the EOS 5D II by two stops, to 100-25,600. ISO extension modes allow a maximum setting roughly equivalent to ISO 102,400 ? still 1EV short of the EOS 1D X. <\/p>\n

The new model will feature the same 3.2in Clear View II LCD screen as that on the EOS 1D X, which is constructed using a 1,040,000-pixel grid. The camera?s viewfinder has also been improved to offer a 100% view of the image to be captured (the EOS 5D II has a 98% viewfinder), while maintaining the same 0.71x magnification. The top shutter speed remains 1\/8000sec and the maximum flash sync speed 1\/200sec. <\/p>\n

In-camera corrections<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/img><\/p>\n

Canon has used the additional processing power of Digic 5+ to introduce new image-correction functions. The EOS 5D III has new built-in lens correction facilities that automatically reduce the effects of vignetting and chromatic aberration before the recorded image is passed to the memory card. The company also claims the extra powerful processor allows high ISO noise to be dealt with more effectively. <\/p>\n

There is a new HDR mode that combines three different exposures into one in order to enhance the range of tones able to be recorded from a high-contrast scene. As well as the final combined image, the camera also saves the three bright\/dark\/normal files so that users can still produce a different version of their own in software later. <\/p>\n

<\/img><\/p>\n

This HDR mode can be found under a new Creative Photo Button on the camera body. This gives users direct access to other features, such as picture styles and multiple-exposure modes. <\/p>\n

Canon has also introduced a new silent mode to reduce the sound of the shutter and mirror. <\/p>\n

Build and storage<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/img><\/p>\n

Using the same magnesium alloy for the body shell as previous-generation EOS cameras, Canon has also introduced a level of weather sealing for the EOS 5D III. Gaskets below buttons and dials prevent ingress of moisture and dust, while a seal around the lens mount is intended to provide better protection for the mirror box. The shutter mechanism has also been improved, but Canon still only quotes the same 150,000 cycles as the EOS 5D II. <\/p>\n

New to the 5D series is SD card compatibility, with the EOS 5D III accepting both CF and SD cards via dual memory slots. The camera takes the same LP-E6 battery as the previous model, but has gained a substantial 140g in the transition ? now weighing 950g instead of the 810g of the 5D II. <\/p>\n
