Article Summary:

Dpreview.com has just published a review of the Canon 5D Mark III. The comprehensive 30 page review contains many sample images and a specific review of the camera’s performance in video mode. The reviewers find that it is weak in JPEG mode, and the video mode is not significantly improved over that of the 5D Mark II. They do find that it is “an extremely versatile photographic tool that is capable of great results in many shooting situations” but also feel that for those buying in to a top end system, the Nikon D800 may be a viable alternative.
