Full-frame 22.3MP DSLR body

The Canon EOS 5D Mark III is a full-frame DSLR built around a 22.3MP CMOS sensor and DIGIC 5+ image processor. It captures 14-bit RAW files and Full HD 1080p video at 30 fps. A 3.2-inch 1.04m-dot ClearView II LCD provides live view and playback. The body ships in a kit box without a lens.

Suits stills shooters needing high-resolution AF

This camera fits photographers who need a 61-point High Density Reticular AF system with 41 cross-type points and 5 dual-diagonal points for precise subject tracking. The native ISO 25600, extendable to 102400, supports low-light work. Buyers who want 4K video, higher continuous frame rates, or built-in wireless connectivity should look at other models.

61-point AF with 41 cross-type points

The decisive specification is the 61-point autofocus array, including 41 cross-type and 5 dual-diagonal sensors, paired with a 63-zone dual-layer metering sensor. This combination determines whether the camera meets the focusing and exposure demands of professional stills assignments.
