Canon announced the long-awaited EOS 5D Mk III DSLR, which takes its place between the EOS 5D Mark II and Canon’s professional EOS 1D X.
“This solid looking shooter packs a new 22.3-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor (increased from 21.1 on the Mk II), a high-performance DIGIC 5+ imaging processor and a 61-point High Density Reticular Autofocus (AF) system — the last two being lifted from the 1D X,” reports Digital Trends.
The new camera is being released on the 25th anniversary of Canon’s EOS camera system.
“The Mk III also features a 1,040,000-dot 3.2-inch rear LCD screen — again pulled from the top-of-the-range 1D X camera — and allows photographers to display two images side by side, which is a first for an EOS camera,” adds the post. “Its ISO capability stretches from 100 to 25,600 in the standard range; it can also be pulled down to 50 at the lower end and whacked up to two you’ll-probably-never-need settings of 51,200 and 102,400.”
The EOS 5D Mk III will ship at the end of this month for $3,499 (body only).
