Canon EOS 5D Mark III

*** Canon EOS 5D Mark III in stock now! ***

Emerging to sell alongside the hugely popular 5D Mark II, the newest Canon affordable full-frame camera looks set to follow family tradition and be amazing picture quality for the dollar.

It certainly looks like Canon has been listening to customer wishlists for the Mark III, with most of the much requested features on the new model.

Notable upgrades from the Mark II include:

61 point focus system (including 41 cross-type points) closely derived from the new Canon 1D X
Newly designed 22 megapixel sensor
Native ISO range of 100-25600, with expansions to L:50, H1: 51200 and H2: 102400
Single Digic 5+ processor, which is rated as 17 times faster than the Digic 4 processor in the Mark II
Headphone socket to allow audio monitoring of video recording
Improved weatherproofing
Twin memory slots, featuring one CompactFlash slot and one SDXC slot (backwards compatible with SDHC and SD)
Burst speed has been upgraded to 6fps from the 3.9fps of the Mark II

Canon EOS 1D X

Replacing both the Canon EOS 1D Mark IV and the EOS 1Ds Mark III, the new EOS 1D X certainly has big shoes to fill, and in every regard it looks quite capable.

The only seemingly negative spec for users of Canon's previous 21mp models is the 18mp output of the new 1D X. However, even for those used to shooting with 21 megapixels from the EOS 1Ds or 5D Mark II, the drop in directional resolution is around 8.3%. That is, not nothing but not terrbily huge when you take into account such other improvements as the 12fps burst speed.

In the real world this change from 21mp tp 18mp will drop the PPI fromn 468 to 432 for a 12 inch print. Also, if early test pictures are any indication, the new 1D X looks like it may actually capture more detail even with 3 less megapixels.

Major features include:

61 point focus system (including 41 cross-type points)
Newly designed 18 megapixel sensor
100,000 pixel RGB metering system
Native ISO range of 100-51,200, with expansions to L:50, H1: 102,400 and H2: 204,800
Twin Digic 5+ processors plus a single Digic 4 to handle the new metering
400,000 cycle shutter life
New optional All-I low compression mode for improved quality video
Twin CompactFlash memory slots
Burst speed of 12fps
