THE RETURN OF THE KING

There was great rejoicing when Canon finally (FINALLY) announced the launch of the sucessor to the EOS 5D Mark II, the Mark III.

The new model runs on a more powerful image processor, the DIGIC 5+ processor, which is 17 times faster than the DIGIC 4 as one of the newer features of the EOS 5D Mark III. This means superior image and video quality with a greater ISO sensitivity courtesy of the improved 36mm full-frame CMO sensor. Worried about the issue of signal-to-noise? The Mark II has a customizable Auto ISO function, granting more in low-light conditions. Add to that the improved 61-point High Density Reticular AF System for faster tracking and focus, 6 frames-per-second continuous burst mode, an approximate 59 millisecond release time lag, High Dynamic Range (HDR) mode, among others.

All that and more are housed in a 152 x 116,4 x 76.4 mm curved magnesium alloy chassis that provides a comfortable grip for horizonatal and vertical shooting.

Price will be made known at a later date, the EOS 5D Mark III will be available at all authorized Canon dealers at the end of March.
