Full frame DSLRs are all really heavy and weighing in at 1. While the 6D is far from a lightweight, it is almost a quarter pound lighter. This may not seem like a lot but it may be the difference between having sore wrists and arms and being comfortable while you shoot. The cost of the 5D Mark III has come down significantly in the years since it was released but it is still far from an inexpensive camera.
The 6D is an excellent camera that costs over a thousand dollars less. The 6D will leave you with money to spare to purchase lenses and other accessories. Professionals who shoot weddings, sporting events, and things that cannot be reenacted in the case of missed focus or card failure should consider the 5D Mark III. That said, this is a heavy, expensive piece of equipment and is a big consideration financially.
Photographers who are looking for a full frame camera and also need to buy lenses and other gear may be best served by the 6D since it costs so much less. In reality, these are all very good cameras and the numbers do not tell the whole story. Nothing will help you decide which of these cameras is best for you quite like getting your hands on them.
Renting a camera for a few days can be an excellent way to figure out which camera to purchase! Your email address will not be published. Notify me of follow-up comments by email.

This would certainly affect some professional and newbie photographers and videographers since Canon is considered one of the top brands that offer budget-friendly photography gadgets. Together with Nikon and Sony, Canon allows many artists to make a living with their passion.
Now, it seems like many consumers would be disappointed since the giant camera developer and manufacturer decided to increase the prices of some of its most in-demand photography products. According to Digital Camera World 's latest report, various leakers confirmed that Canon had increased the costs of some of its popular gadgets.
On the other hand, regular digital cams are also affected by the latest price hike. In other news, Samsung Galaxy S22 's advanced camera sensors and other features are expected to outshine the new iPhone On the other hand, Xiaomi 12 Ultra is expected to be the first camera smartphone to have a MP main camera sensor.
Some good counterpoints. I guess it comes down to how bad you need full frame, and whether you want to wait to see Sony's full frame offerings.
Pretty good synopsis. For sure, doc shooters were going crazy about that 12 minute limit. Now they have 30 minutes and meet broadcast requirements. Generally I think my bitrate endeavor is quelled, since it's pretty much a dream to shoot for the BBC or Discovery that needs those rates. I think the iii is totally worth it as a money-maker because you know producers will soon be asking for iii shooters.
There could be lots of gigs, some might be decent pay. I like the GH2 because I get gigs for crazy long shoots where I should be using a camcorder. But nobody asks for a GH2 shooter. The all want Canon. These things bother me: 1. Due to taking out line skipping approach, judging focus at crazy shallow DoF becomes harder, not easier 3.
Improved weather sealing and no ventilation. With a more powerful processor inside, where does all the heat go, now that you can record upto 29 mins? And what effect does this have on picture quality? Feel free to censor this! But the real ticker issss Why da hell even their 16k cinema camera cant have this?! But thats even beside the point.. Couple that with Sony's native autofocusing Zeis lenses, and or m-adaptor for amazing Leica lenses and FS is the clear most logical choice if your intending to film stuff guerilla style on a semi compact camera thats great in lowlight.
If was worth the miniscule upgrade from the MK2, the the extra for the amazing add ons on the FS will be much much more justifiable. And by the way.. Sony has just destroyed the dslr video market, for those willing to spend k on an interchangeable lens camera for use primarily for filming, then the FS is the clear logical choice.
Canon looks to have improved the down-scaling algorithm to the point where this camera will be resolving much closer to p. Which I'm utterly depressed about lol. I say let's see a better quality version of that video or better tests. I agree fs is the current winner I have to question your conclusions on the value of the ALL-I codec. I believe doubling the bit-rate with a completely different compression scheme doesn't mean a doubling of quality.
I think it may, on some shots, produce a loss of quality. If you have a locked down camera on a tripod with a relatively simple and constant background for instance, an interview shot , Group Of Pictures compression need only store the background information once per keyframe, while the ALL-I scheme is going to have to store all of it every frame.
That means there is less information that can be squeezed into a given bit-rate for the subject that is moving. If you only allow yourself to double the bit-rate, you will be losing quality in the delivered video, spending an awful amount of storage on redundant information. It remains to be seen what the ramifications of this scheme are, but I would not jump to the conclusion it's a massive win.
It may be best used for hand-held shots or shots with an awful lot of changing information. Canon's decision to stick with H. The 91mbps ALL-I is very close to prores bitrates. And intraframe coding looks so much better than long-gop that it's ridiculous.
I'd much rather have intra than long-gop. Even 50mbps mpeg2 isn't enough. The noise should look so much better and the capability to grade will be several steps forward with the intra-coding. Now offcourse they could blow the encoding somehow and make it suck. It's completely possible. But technically it should be quite good. A comment on the daylight comparison linked in Tobyloc's comment above says that the version we watched is compressed but if you log onto Vimeo, you can download an uncompressed version.
I don't know how to log onto vimeo but if anyone can, could they report if that is true? It's hard to tell what is true, so many people are biased or have some financial incentive to pass along misleading information or generally don't really know what they are talking about. All the sudden the 5D MarkII sounds unusable doesn't cut with better cameras.. Moires and Rolling Shutters are miserable. Funny these didn't seem to be real problems not until a week ago The D has a 4.
Canon's specs on paper Questioned in practical world versus Nikon's, are the stuff of mud-pit fighting legend for the two camps. Much has been made in some threads as to the focus points in Nikon being able to deliver rapid fire in very low light situations D and D4 again, too soon to tell. Not sure the changes in Canon's canon, would be enough away from the D or D4 to warrant dumping many times that worth in glass, to reset the rig, but we shall see.
It's a great camera for sure but negates the faster codec, there's a big difference even between and so the C at 50mbps would preferable in my eyes given the choice. I could have bought 4 GH2s. Also, they will fail to recognize the fact that hollywood is still spending lots of money on lenses and custom machined adapters. Money that we low-budget'ers don't have.
The plastic lens 50mm 1. Canon makes a 28mm 1. I really like the GH2, I do, it's an amazing camera - but if you want fast and wide, or at least fast and normal, you're going to have to pay for it - and it's possible the equivalent doesn't exist at all. It's also not even in the same league as Canon or Nikon in terms of build quality - you pay extra for that, certainly.
Even if you don't need the speed - a 50mm 1. Unless it's a cinema prime, then that's a whole other story. But I much prefer a fast lens that I can stop down 1 or 2 f-stops, say to 2. You're also paying for the color science that Canon has in the camera - which in my experience is much more pleasing out of the box than Panasonic footage.
Let's also not forget that if you're shooting stills as well, then there's no comparison anymore - Canon full frame wins over the GH2 in quality. That's what I mean when I'm saying it's worth the price. Canon, fortunately, hasn't completely forgotten about still photographers, which is my primary focus.
Given your points above, Canon may succeed at growing its video market somewhat, but it seems to me that unless the ergos of shooting video on this are big improvement comared to the 5d mk II and even the 7D , true video pros will actually spring for a bona-fide video camera.
IMHO, given the rigs needed and klunky controls, the current DLSR approac for video is a square peg in a round hole, despite the ability to use glass. For those of us that are primarily still shooters, the cost is just not justified, even with the improved low light performance. Now that I've had time to let the announcement sink in, I find myself increasingly disappointed.
Given the global economy, it will be interesting to see how this price point plays out in the market. It is true that video seems to be seriously displacing stills, and maybe that's why Canon has targeted video so aggresively.
Maybe we'll see a 3D or a 5Dx at Photokina to bring joy to still shooters? I know plenty of wedding photographers who don't use flash or try not to who were dying for a camera that excelled in low-light. The improved AF is also a big deal for them, as the 5D Mark II can't really focus in low light or even that well in good light. It might be a pain to have two different kinds of cards in the camera, but I also know a lot of people who would pay extra money to have dual slots for redundancy while they are shooting.
I have heard that the 5D iii looses one frame every 4 minutes when filming for 29 minutes. Is that true? At first I was disappointed, but then I started considering Cine lenses that could be used with any back, and that's the direction I'm going in. Camera backs come and go, but lenses are forever, as they say. I still might get the 14mm, but I want that for stills more than video. People can argue what they might do, etc, but this is a real live human being who really was going to purchase a 5d Mk III and DID NOT, and now I have no plans to, and no plans to buy more Canon lenses in general save the 14mm.
Since a wedding is longer than the 30 minute video limit, how quickly can you start shooting again after replacing the first card? Immediately, but the limit is not a card limit, so you wouldn't have to replace the card unless you ran out of space.
Thank you. How many seconds of lag is there if you hit record immediately after hitting your limit, or can you stop recording after 28 minutes and then have another 30 minutes "in the bank" so to speak? I've been searching for days for this answer.
I'll just have to time my stop and start for a dull moment in the ceremony! I've shot ceremonies with the old Mark II, and you just had to keep restarting after every 12 minutes, but as long as you have another camera or you do it at the right time, doing it with the Mark III is a lot easier.
I can see that canon 5d mark is a very good camera how can i get mine online cos i will be very happy to have it this is my email in case bola4life1 yahoo. I agree with the previous poster who said all was good and golden with the mark ii until the mark iii came along. And the mark iii will be all glitter and great until the mark iiii comes along. Funny how that works. I say suffer along with your mark ii until the price drops into the upper 2k range.
I 'd say that will be in early All they had to do was at 2k raw and they could have reinvigorated the indie film market. We know the cameras are capable due to the magic lantern hack.

Yeah that's pretty funny - I just saw that. At least we arrived at the same answer! Greg Greenhaw. My bad. Ill wait for the five reasons why the Nikons own the 5D :.
You'll never get it. Joshua S. That will be great if all the hopes connected with MarkIII are fulfilled in the shooting!
