Canon decided to use a 100% viewfinder for the 5D Mk III. In my tests, it was indeed much better than the Mk II’s especially when using Rokinon’s manual focus lenses without AF confirmation The 5D Mark III is a great camera and for current 5D Mark II users or other owners of Canon full-frame lenses the all-important question 'Should I buy one?' is an easy one to answer. The 5D Mark III is in almost every aspect a better camera than its predecessor and an extremely enjoyable photographic tool. Re: 5D Mark III AF point Illumination. If you push the AF pot selection button (page 72) all the points will glow in red along with the AF focus points you selected. If youahve the frid turned on it will also glow in red. When you go to actually focus - the red turns off and everything goes black. dpreview conclusion. With the EOS 5D Mark IV, Canon has further refined its semi-professional full frame all-rounder. With a solid build and improved weather sealing, faster burst speed, increased resolution, increased dynamic range, updated autofocus system and Dual Pixel live view functionality, the Mark IV will be as much camera as many I have just swapped all my Cannon gear 2 x 5dMk5 III's, lenses, flashes ect & invested heavily in the XT3's & lenses. Much as your self for me lugging large cameras & lenses around all day long during weddings really gives me some backache, the full frame/crop sensor really hasn't made that much difference to me, battery life is a bit less but with the grip its really improved & three batteries. Although the maximum load capacity of 6.61 pounds is less impressive than that of the Vanguard Alta Pro, it can reliably and securely support your Canon 5D Mark III. It comes with a 3-way tilt and pan head with two handles that can be folded when carrying, giving you a better shooting experience by allowing independent control of the horizontal Canon 7D (32.3 oz. /915g with battery and card) with Canon 28mm f/1.8 USM. enlarge. I'd get it at Adorama, B&H or Amazon. It helps me publish this site when you get yours from these links, thanks! Ken. March 2015 Canon Reviews Canon Lenses All Reviews. NEW: Canon 7D Mk II! Canon 7D body for $749. Canon 7D with 28-135 IS for $849. The 22.3-megapixel Canon EOS 5D Mark III captured some of the cleanest images I've seen from a DSLR when shooting in low light at high ISOs.
