Re: Canon has the 5D Mark III on the USA website

can't seem to click on it though...

 

[StevenBrianSamuels]

I don't know what Canon is talking about but those specs blow for "in the studio" considering what the competition has to offer.

Hopefully Canon has their own MP monster waiting in the wings...Another 4 year wait aint going to cut it.

And B&H has it for $3500

[Cooljoe57]

Here too; http://www.canon-asia.com/personal/products/dslrs/eos/eos-5d-mark-iii?languageCode=EN

 

[coltsfreak18]

Is it already available for shipping/pre-order?? At the B&H website, it says it is backordered and you can add to cart, but with the 1dx is still says price is not determined and it isn't even available for preorder.

Re: Canon has the 5D Mark III on the USA website



It looks like they finally implemented manual exposure compensation.

Multiple Exposure and High Dynamic Range
Multiple exposures are possible in-camera and up to 9 exposures can be recorded onto a single file using 4 distinct settings for control. When in Additive mode, this closely resembles making multiple exposures on film and layers each exposure; manual exposure compensation is required. Average mode layers the images and automatically compensates for the final exposure, eliminating the unintended possibility of gross under or overexposure. Bright mode is specifically designed for photographing in uniformly dark scenes with a bright subject, such as a studio environment. Dark mode functions inversely, and helps to eliminate overly bright sections of the image including reflections and highlights.

I would sure like one of these and I'm sure Canon will sell plenty, but at $3500, I'm going to have to pass, at least for now. This makes my decision to pick up a second 5d Mark II or a 7D a lot easier.

 

[V8Beast]

I just ordered one up from B&H. Canon will supposedly start shipping them in late March, which far exceeding my expectations. I also have a D800 on pre-order, so I need to decide on whether to cancel it, or test it out side by side with the 5DIII. What a dilemma

Not sure what the difference is between "backordered" and a pre-order at B&H, but I was able to add one to my cart, enter my payment info, and complete the checkout.

 

[dakyoo]

Just read and watched an interview saying that it would be available in North America by the end of March! ;D
