The 5DMarkIII turns 10 years old this year! But is it past it's sell by date? Well here are 10 reasons to consider why you should get one in 2022 and a few reasons why you shouldn't 😎 What do you think of the legendary 5DMarkIII? Let me know down below 👇
Don’t forget Magic Lantern!!!!!!!
Tell me it's cost in Saudi Arabia riyal please
He didn’t forget it, it’s mentioned several times. Certainly adds some interesting options if you have the right brain and workflow.
Found one with only 9k shutter count for $569.
@@ntbaronegreat deal, I just picked one up with 32k Shutters for $450
I had a 5Diii for like six years and I thought I'd be buried with it. Thing had 300k shutter actuations and was still going strong. I reluctantly switched to an EOS RP, then EOS R, then R6 because I started dabbling in youtube and I wanted a flippy screen and face tracking. Both the RP and R made me fall out of love with photography (for fun) because they were anything but tactile and responsive, shooting photos with them felt sluggish and cumbersome after years with a 5Diii, which felt like an extension of my hand that reacted as quickly to the scene as my brain did. In the studio for work I was happy enough with they RP and R, but for shooting any kind of real life (like a toddler running around in and out of the sun and shade) it was torture to use either camera. It was minor little things, like with the 5Diii the DOF preview button could be programmed to switch between one shot and servo by holding it or not holding it, but on the RF cameras it's a toggle to switch, so it's not muscle memory but instead is a mental note. Same with the lock, they ditched the physical switch (not on the RP) and now locking or unlocking the controls requires looking at the camera to remember if you're locking or unlocking, and making a mental note. They ditched the video switch and relegated video to a spot on the mode dial (RP and R6) so you can't save custom video modes on those cameras (or shoot video in shutter priority). I feel like a crazy person a lot of the time because nobody else is complaining about this stuff! Sure I've got 20 fps bursts with the electronic shutter now, but I just want a camera that I can use with one hand without looking at it-- like the 5Diii...
This comment is really insightful! Thanks for sharing your experience here! 😎😎🔥🔥
Yes, 100% my opinion 😊👏🏻
Upgrading from the 5D Mk3 to R5C, once Canon ships them. I don't think, I'll get rid of the Mk3 initially, because it's still a superb stills camera. And I do agree, that for photo, the 5D Mk3 and Mk4 were still superior over the EOS R and RP.
Absolutely,your spot on!!!!
@@EmeraldAudiovisual what about 5d4 vs r6? Still superior?
The DSLR that eventually persuaded me that digital could be comparable to film. The 5dmkiii is a real milestone camera in my opinion and is still perfectly usable, especially when paired with some quality glass. Th photographer is usually the limiting factor, not the camera!
The argument is so weird. You needs a decent tool.
@unbroken1010 You're right. For me, I still keep finding ways to maximize what I get out of my camera. Once I get a nicer full frame, I will use my entry level crop as a backup.
Now in 2023, I still have my 5D mk3 and I still love this camera. It is such a rugged camera with great photo quality.
Great video. I bought a 5D mark 2 in order to use my collection of vintage lenses, the mark 3 in Australian dollars was double the price. No stabilisation, exif data, or frills, but adapting older film lenses and using them in native focal length on a beautiful sensor is a joy. I am stunned at the quality of the older glass and sensor. Using a mirror less crop sensor camera everyday highlights the DSLR tech limitations you mentioned, so it isn’t going to be my number one tool, however for landscape, still life and flowers etc it is sensational. I was tempted to pick up the 24-105mm f4 L lens, but had to keep my resolve and stay true to why I bought the 5D Mk 2 in the first place.
Just got one! I am upgrading from a crop sensor and was able to get one with a 24-70 2.8 L II for a steal. Will mainly be using it for portraits and studio style photography. It will be a welcome upgrade until I can afford better.
Got myself a 5dmk3 about six months. Ago and I absolutely love it.only using it for photography as I've no clue or real interest in video,
I use it with a 24-105 f4.and recently upgraded a 70-200 f 4 none IS for a 70-200 f2.8 MK2 and jam loving this combination though it is seriously heavy. But the images are fantastic and seriously sharp..
Also have a 85mm f1.8 and again finding this combination brilliant especially for lovely backgrounds in portraits..
It's a more budget friendly way to aquire professional grade gear. Loving the 5D mk3.
How did you like the 24-105 f4 L? I have only one L lens, the 17-40 f4, and considering upgrading to that.
Snap with vintage focal lengths with no crop factor.
I did get this camera for crismas gift and its amaizing. I did use before canon 7d and the difference is big. Im wild animal photographer and it work so nice. The 3x3 autofocus grid work so nice. It find subject easily and can keep it on focus
Just purchased a 5D Mkiii for low light and late evening photography shoots... Canon 85mm 1.8 and Canon 50mm 1.4 are my combo lens... quite pleased with the outcomes... purchased used with 55,000 actuations...
I can still remember when this camera was brand new! I still think for stills and simple videos, these older full-frame DSLRs still have a lot to offer but it's hard to justify really getting one when a decent mirrorless with 4k, 120 fps and eye AF etc can be had for a little more money. Still though, worth keeping around! We wish we never sold our 6d mk2 just because its nice to have a DSLR once in a while!
Really insightful bro! I'm thinking I might of selling off my Full frame DSLRs this year... should I hold onto one ... hmmm 😅
Common to buy these for 400 bucks. What models can you get for some more money? I was thinking this or a fuji xt2 or 3.
I got my 5d3 with a 16-35 L lens for $500 used... hard to beat that value, even in 2022.
It's also good for learning how to use a canon camera for shooting video . Then appreciating when you move up to the more modern cameras
I have a 5D III coming tomorrow as my first dip into full frame photography, to start with i have a 50 1.8, 105 2.8 sigma, and a sigma 150-600 C with th EF 24-70MM AND 70-200 on my shopping list. Its an old beast of a camera and i cant wait to get my hands on it!
Very exciting times 😎🙏❤️
Picked the 5D MK3 up about a year ago from a professional photographer friend. Would have loved to go mirrorless but I got an awesome deal with the camera and a couple of lenses. I was originally looking for a camera for some video stuff. Really enjoyed your video, subscribed for more great content.
It’s a great camera. Im still using it for my wedding work
Super well made camera, I love it, no need to change or upgrade for me.
Used to shoot sports and went from a 5D4, 1dxii and 6D. I sold my gear and kept the 6D with 3 lenses for the occassional fan event or pics. The 6D does the job but it's AF struggles like crazy and misses often. That being said I'm shocked to see 5Diii for so cheap so will be purchasing one and gifting my 6D to someone. If you have the know how a 5Diii is very useable and capable for stills
I’m planning on getting one ! It will be an upgrade from my Rebel T6. Didn’t want to switch brands do to having a lot of high quality lenses for an ef mount already
Still use mine and I love it so much for photography 👌
I have been shooting on film for the past 10 years now I think its time to switch back to my roots on digital....
I sold my 5D Mark III after purchasing the R6 in November 2020 and it is a decision I have come to regret. While I now have the R5 as well and love both of my Canon mirrorless cameras, the 5D Mark III remains to this day the one camera I regret parting with. There is just something special about that particular model for me. I might just have to give in and get another one sometime!
100% agree, there is magic in that sensor. Im buying one as we speak because of this.
@@shawnhimmelman Update: Got reunited with a 5D Mark III today! Only 6,000 clicks on shutter and came with original box and 24-70 f/2.8 L II lens!
My 5DM3 has always been perfect with focus. Though it is slightly behind the color and low light of the R5, I feel the 5DM3 is overall better in getting reliable consistent shots in fair lighting.
Update: right after this comment I picked one up used for $600 CDN which is crazy cheap. So good, I’ll always have one going forward.
@@DylanVidovich my 5d mark 3 live view shoots one at a time. How can I shoot continuously.
Excellent video ! The best on UA-cam for 5D3
Too kind 🙏🙏🙏
Great video! I just purchased a used 5d iii and I also have a 5d II as my backup. I am considering the R6 but I’m still new to the industry and I’m trying not to get caught up in the camera buying game.
Great
Great video, thank you!
I just purchased a 5D mk III to replace my 70D. This will be my first full frame digital camera and my first pro-grade camera body. I am looking forward to getting familiar with it! Your video confirmed pretty much all of the points I considered while looking at options - 6D and 6D mk II, 5D Mk II, III, IV, 1DS, etc. I went with the 5D mk III as the best "bang for the buck" that I could afford.
How'd you like it? I'm still using my 70D from like 7 years ago.
How is it going, I have 90D and im trying to purchase a 5D mark III, so I can have a full-frame camera as well.
@@freddiezack9648 Great full frame. EF & Sigma EX-DG + vintage SLR lenses with no crop factor.
I've had my 5D Mk3 for 7 or 8 years. And it is indeed a tank. But it will be replaced this year. Moving to the Canon R5C instead, as I want a full frame camera without recording limit for video. I've been using Panasonic for video the last few years (GH4, GH5, GH5-2), so that is what is being replaced. Having said that, I'm not selling the Mk3 ... for stills, it's still a serious good camera and a good backup.
Still my main and only camera. 5DMiii + 85 f1.2
I
5D Mk3 with a nifty fifty is the best investment I ever made when it comes down to photography gear
A dream combination!! 🔥
Getting one soon. 14 bit RAW is what sold me. Dont need 4k, color is everything.
+ Sigma 15mm EX-DG, 24mm & 50mm offers sharper snaps.
@@arricammarques1955what's your point? Says who?
Exactly what I wanted to know, thanks
Got my 5DMarkIII yesterday and I'm still exploring the camera. Last month, I was in doubt in which camera (Sony A7III or 5DMarkIII) I will buy but thanks to YT and my fellow photographers who vouch the 5DMarkIII. By the way, it's a little cheaper than the Sony A7III. Hoping that I will be able unleash the beast out of this cam.
PS: I used Canon 1100D for almost 1 year which I bought in second hand. This is my first time to upgrade into full frame camera.
Canon's lifelike colors beat the A7III.
@@gaborkiss1425 EF & Sigma EX-DG lenses are affordable.
Considering upgrading from a 60d to a 5dmk iii
Thanks for this. I'm looking at upgrading from an 80D at some point for low light videography and this is the first video I've seen where it's been mentioned that the 5D3 hasn't got AF during video. That's an absolute deal breaker and you just saved me a lot of money! Think I'll look at the 6D then!
Yeh - focusing with video kept me busy 😆 also just to let you know - the 6D (original) doesn’t have DPAF either 🥹
@@KaiCreative oh damnit 😅😂 guess it's the 6D2 or something else 🙄 suddenly this is pricy haha. EOS R perhaps
I have been using the Eosr R for vertical video in 1080 and it has been great 😊
@@KaiCreative nice nice, those mirrorless bodies do look good. Since I film astrophotography videos and do a lot of nighttime vlogging I'm just looking for something more sensitive. If I can get stars in the video at like 1/60 30fps I'm happy 😂 I just got the Sigma 18-35 f/1.8 for my 80D so looking forward to seeing how that performs
Get a dedicated 4K or 24P Hi-Def. Videocamera.
i love my mark iii and ef is usm lenses. so glad i didn't trade it in for a mark iv.
My clients have 5-10 years left to watch 4k. I will not say goodbye to this device for another 5-10 years.
Just bought one of these with battery grip, 2 batteries and a 64GB card with just 78k actuations for just £385 delivered. Can't wait to get out and shoot it. nice review.
Excellent bargain 🙏🙏🙏🫶🫶🫶
6:45, 7:00-7:04 Thanks! 👍 Will look at other models😊
May look for one after I sell the 90D. My main camera is the 5D IV. I have no interest in crop sensor cameras anymore. Use the 17-40 on the III and 24-104 on the IV? Carry them both and I'm pretty well set.
I was pretty much running my events and wedding videos with a 5Dmarkiii and IV with a 70-200 and a 24-104 for a couple of years. Until I went to x2 5DmarkIVs
Lol, I was thinking bout it but you helped make up my mind, it's a hard no. Thanks for the video.
Because? Drugs?
I have seen too many out there for sale that are overpriced. Even at a decent price, glass is still expensive for what it is. Which brings me to the new Canon cameras. Although you can shoot both video and stills, I would suggest a real video camera that can shoot all day long and never overheat. Still, for the hobbyist, the mark 3 is a good camera however, if full frame is not that big of an issue, I would go APSC and get the 70D for the budget first starting off camera. Then skip the 80 and go on to the 90 before thinking of the mirrorless options. And keep this in mind, 4K takes up a lot of memory space. If this is your hobby, shoot in 1080 at 30 FPS. The 24 (23.89 something like that) really looks best on UA-cam shooting at 30. You will really notice the difference when you pan your shots. Did I mention the EF lenses are dirt cheap these days and those are the brand new ones collecting dust in back room storage shelves.
I think I might buy one if I can find it on the cheap on EBay!
I have an EOS R but still finding myself picking up my 5Dmark III all the time. I love the thing. I would never sell it.
Rugged build with proper hand grip, Stunning colour palate rivals Fujifilm, frankly.
Still got mine from new. Only camera I have kept for 10 years.
love the mark ii. thinking about getting the iii? i love canon.
im rocking a 5d Mark II, but im considering going to the mark III... but that new R8 thats coming out.... looks like it may be a game changer.. until that drops.. i'm buying more glass lol.
The used market for EF now is just ridiculously good.
I would like one for still and portrait photography
Thank you for the video.
My son gifted me a 5DIII about a year ago with a shutter count of 215k. Obviously, he used it heavily for wedding shoots. Nevertheless, I accepted it with gratitude. I know it’s rated for 150k shutter actuations however, perhaps you know one 5DII (which also I own) clicked 2 million actuations and still working fine. That makes me believe my copy of 5DIII should also touch or surpass at least 500k shots.
I’m a hobbyist photographer shooting mainly landscape, street photos and wildlife. I was really amazed to see 5DIII meets almost all my needs for wildlife photography. The burst rate is fast enough, great auto ISO, good low-light performance, dual card slots and does AF at f8 with extender. Therefore, it’s a fantastic second camera in support of my flagship 1DIV for shooting wildlife. It’s already a champion in the other two genre I shoot.
Thanks again.
Why, upgrade? If it works for your needs. Its perfect.
@@arricammarques1955 no I don't plan to. It's already giving me multiple services. So, I don't even think of getting a Mark IV. And mirrorlees is totally out of question. It doesn't make sense to seasoned photographers.
So maybe Kai Creative will have some insight into my question. I bought a used 5dm3. The body looks like it's been beaten to a pulp. However, the shutter count is only like 6000. The best I can assume is that it was used more for video than photography. How much of an impact will this have on the life of the camera? Everything seems to be working fine, but I just had a 5Dm2 shutter die on me after 3 months and it was working fine too. 330k shutters though.
The sensor is very durable so I wouldn’t worry about longevity of it. Its the mechanical parts like shutter or switches going bad first.
I had bought this camera used before covid. It was my first full frame professional camera. I still use it and my Sony mirrorless friends don't know.
It’s funny because I own a Sony mirrorless cam and I have a 6D
Probably, out last the Sony. : )
I bought a 2nd hand 5D MKiii yesterday with shutter count = 200. I paid 800gbp. Really happy with my purchase 🙂
That'll last forever. Well wear.
Shutter count 200 or 200k?
@@jarambahboy9391 200. Only
@@tomproudfoot4151 wow great stuff,
I got one with 5000 I'm shocked for £700 my last 6d was 45 000 and is lasting so excited
Good to washing this video✊✊👏
Still one of the best cameras color wise.
I still use 5D3. Very capable camera, even I boght at 180k shutter count...
Man this is the camera I was eyeing back when I hacked my Canon Powershot to shoot RAW..idk what happened but I'm shooting Nikon but still this camera has a special place in my heart #redrings #OGDigitalRev
I am awaiting delivery on one at the moment . It is to replace my beloved 6D which was lost due to flooding earlier this year . I am primarily as stills photographer , shooting very little video.
While I loved the 6D , I found its very basic auto focus system a bit limiting and at times very frustrating .
My other camera is a 7d mkii , so the similar control layout should make it easier to switch between the two.
As of now the 5D iii is probably the best value entry level full frame camera (for photography) available .
5D's full size sensor are amazing. Wise choice, mate.
I mostly shoot concerts and stages and my 5D Mk III served me well for many years (got it second-hand a while ago, with very low shot count) and, yes, it's a tank. Very beer-proof, I can vouch for that. :) But in very low light, it's getting a bit dated.
Very Beer-proof 😁😁 Love it! Very true about the low light point, especially when comparing it to more recent camera bodies. 👏
Mine had lots of beer while shooting concerts and after, and some buttons are getting a bit sticky. :)
Im still using 5D3 up to now in photography.
Magic Lantern...
I was actually planning of getting a 5d mark 3 for both Video and Photography
Yep 👍 I used the Mark iii for wedding videos for years 🙏☝️
It’s capable of great looking video, but the lack of autofocus is dealbreaker for some. If you are coming from cinema cameras though it’s not such a big thing. All depends on what you need to achieve and how.
I use my 5D MK3 for photos and my 7D MK2 for video because of the auto focus and I love both.
Yes the 5Dmarkiii is still a photography beast! Also I really loved the 7DM2 for video - what an amazing camera ! I used to work at a studio which used the 7DM2 for high profile clients video work - Amazing! 😎
Great informative video; really helped crystallise my thoughts on whether to buy or not … ‘think I’m verging towards the ‘Not’ option, mostly cos of the focusing ‘issue’, which is only, has only become an issue cos of the R6 et al, (I think there is now far less forgiveness for anything not tac sharp. And I don’t hv yr years of experience !!). Thks mate. (Hv sub’d)
I shoot basketball photography with this camera Canon 5D Mark iii with Canon EF 70-200mm f2.8 L IS III USM Lens. I am a beginner and would like to have your thoughts if this is a good setup? I did get some good pictures using this combo. I am also thinking of getting Canon 24-105mm f/4 IS II USM so I can use this on more close up basketball action. Appreciate your advise and thank you!
Can Make A Video About The 5D Classic And The 5D Mark ii And If It’s Worth Buying One In 2022…
Thanks 🙏
There's got to be a great full frame video camera with new technology out there under $1,000. Is Sony leading the market or Panasonic?
just starting out in the wedding photography game ... im currently using a crop sensor 800D and very seriously considering getting an 5D Mk III. Obviously price is a big issue but i also seem to have fallen in love with it 😁
Yeah, clients will notice the quality.
Still using it, its a workhorse so easy to use.
Amazing camera 😁🤩
picked up a beautiful condition 5D mkiii today missing its charger £605.00 GBP in lovely condition 14000 actuations, will pair nicely with my RP, it my second 5Diii, missed the first one that much just had to get another.
Scored a mint body with 800 actuations. : )
@FidelCastro128 well done. It's a great find. You got lucky. It's an awesome all round camera.
I shoot profesionelly portrait and weddings as a side gig and still use two 5d3s, sure if i did it full time i would have two more modern cameras but its still so good that i rather buy new backdrops , light modifiers , strobes etc. Just know its weakness like poor dr and shoot around it and use it with good lenses and its more camera then most need. But they are geting old so its time to upgrade but Will probably buy one or two (barely) use 5d4 and a r6
Yeah, worth investing in top lenses.
Have you experimented with Magic Lantern C-Log in a 5D MKiii. I'm going use mine as a B or C cam for an extended project. My other cameras have C-Log installed natively. I'm just wondering if the two versions of C-log work well together.
Cheers!
Great question, depends on the software codecs.
It's already 10 years? I remmeber when 5D2 was still on market. I'm there using my 5D1 I got two years ago lol.
How does it not have auto focus for video? My 80D is amazing at doing that
Grabbed this as my 2nd shooter. I have my 6D and now I have the mark iii also.
I used that combo for a while the Canon 6D and 5DMarkIII for weddings, corporate events and promo videos - no overheating issues at all 😄 the only problem was no dpaf - so constantly eyeballing the focus and the 30min record limit, and no 4K - but all easy to work with at the time. For photography they are still amazing 🤩
@@KaiCreative exactly. I don't do video work and I grabbed the 6D for low light and had a 1.4 50mm plus my telephoto. I primarily captured community events and live music so this will be amazing when I finally get the sigma art 24-70 2.8. Unless Canon or sigma drops to 1.4 versatility but I'm one step closer to my dream set up.
@@rumblesofrevolution Sigma EX-DG, great optics.
Which is the best full focus lens that you can suggest that would work with a canon 5D Mark III camera? i'm currently exploring product photography but the lenses i'm using only focus on small portion of the subjects which is a real struggle. I wish for the entire subject to be clear no depth of field etc....Hope you can help.
Sigma 15mm EX-DG or 24mm. M/AF options.
Great video. How is it possible to scale 1080p video to 4K on Canon 5D Mark iii? Thank you.
Upscaling will not give 4K.
Nice. I've been using the mark 2 for the past five years now because its the first camera I got used to and it still does me justice but looking at a recent timelapse I uploaded (check it out!) I started to realize how outdated the quality it is. Those mirrorless are insanely expensive for someone not running a business in this field and I'm still chasing great quality in outdated tech. Think I might upgrade to a ten year old used camera.
This was a solid camera for sure but the mirrorless systems are just so much easier to use.
Yes - sad.. but true 😿
2022 I use a Canon 5D Mark II. :) I am a hobby flower and foliage photographer
Ok, you’ve convinced me.. I already had some L glass... so I didn’t take much convincing..
How is the dynamic range comparing to modern camera?
Thanks for this. Just yesterday I turned in my Canon 70D for a 5D Mark III in excellent condition. I got a good trade-in allowance on the 70D. The 5D was selling for USD$370. Now I am back in the full-frame world, with all my wonderful legacy Canon EF lenses (including the 24-105L version 1). I had thought that my next purchase would be full-frame mirrorless, but the cost is a bit prohibitive right now, especially for lenses. For still photography the 5D Mark III is still very viable and will very nicely carry me at least a couple more years until the mirrorless market rounds out a bit. Regards, Joe.
Wise choice, why mess with perfection?
First comment!!!! Sad Canon decided to stop making dslr's...I really like the 5d series
Yeah bro, such a great piece of tech! The mirrorless systems do seem to be getting better and better...
@@KaiCreative I must admit mirrorless cameras have came far in terms of battery and lens choices and performance, but I just LOVE the feeling of heavy and sturdy DSLR camera in my hands that last all day, even if my back is 😢 😭. But for me(and probably other people), the deciding factor is the price. It's just way cheaper to get a used 5dmk3 or 6d with a 70-200 than selling it all and investing in a EOS R or RP and glass...That being said, I'll probably be making the switch in the next couple years because all new innovations are being made on mirrorless setups. Especially in video.
나는 현재 RP, R5, 6d ii, 5d iii 를 사용합니다 4개의 카메라중에 인물사진촬영은 대부분 5d iii 를 사용합니다 그 이유는 5d iii 만의 피부톤이 제일 좋아서 입니다 보정작업으로 극복하기 힘든 고유의 피부톤 때문에 만가질때까지 사용할 계획입니다
they go for around ~$500, with 300k+ shutter count, in my country. would there be a better pick for $500? i had a sony a6000 with 85 1.8 i always wanted to upgrade to full-frame, but not sure if i can get sony that cheap. i'd probably pair Canon 5d mark III with either 50 or 85, at least until i save up for 70-200. what do you think?
Can you buy on eBay internationally? I paid 820$ for a mark iii with under 20k shutter. Get the mark ii or the 5D if not. I love my mark 5D classic too. I’m keeping it for life.
I feel a little bummed out because I've had my 5D Markiii for at least 8 years and have barely used it. Now the tech is old and I still don't know how to use it well. I'm a dancer and wanted to use it for dance film projects and from what your saying todays tech is much better. What do you suggest I do? I was looking to see if I could find firmware updates. Can that help me ? I want to utilize it as an extra camera in my online zoom dance classes.
I think you might be able to use it with the canon webcam service - it’s still a beast man - you still have a powerful piece of kit on your hands 🙏☝️
UA-cam tutorials for learning. Best way to learn at your own pace.
@@KaiCreative Thank you. My apologies for the late reply I just saw it for the first time!
Still using it for wedding photos.
🔥🔥
I really want to purchase a camera specifically for photography maybe video on rare occasions but right now I’m using the a6400. I’ve had this camera for four years now and feel like it’s time for an upgrade for my 18th I want to purchase a full frame camera and I’m still not sure what I should go for. I shoot street photography, events astrophotography and portraits. I’m looking at used 5d MK IV since I can get L series lenses cheap on the used market. But I’ve also looked at the a7iii but lenses are so damn expensive. Any advice would be greatly appreciated?
I’ve used the 5Dmark III and IV for quite a few years each and can vouch for the photo quality being amazing particularly with L series lenses! Recently I’ve had the opportunity to use the A7iii and also thought it was fantastic for photos, the A7iii for video is probably also better with the in built log (although make sure you get ND filters) and 120fps, if you’re not interested in video then probably don’t worry about those points. One thing that does stand out is the weight - found then Canons get heavy on a shoot day. If you love canon glass you can also look at getting a Sony/canon adapter. 👍👌
An A7III with a Canon EF to Sony FE mount adapter is a good idea too (saying that even if I'm 11 months late)
@@ouiliemedia Thanks for the response I appreciate it but I bought myself the A7IV a few months ago just looking for a lens thinking the sigma 24 - 70 f2.8 it’s a beast
5D series + vintage SLR lenses with adapter. f1.4 : )
I still prefer the DSLR view finder for fast action, the decisive moment. I also find that the lower pixels amount is better in low light; which helps me use a lower ISO, and much faster shutter speed. I'm shooting 2 mk3 cameras, a Sony a7r4, a72, and a Fujifilm GFXr50. The Canon 5d mrk3 w/ 300mm f/2.8 lens, is my best system for photos of kiteboarding, and base jumping f/4, 3000+ shutter, ISO 200 or less. The Sony a7r4 focuses rocket fast, but at 60 megapixels isn't very good at higher shutter speeds. Sometimes I feel that the higher megapixels is more of a marketing gimmick, and not really required. Just my opinion man. Thx for the video, I plan to watch your videos often.
Yes, I want to know how long you can film with the 5D Mark III. The 5D Mark II convinces with a good Quality of the pictures.
29mins 59sec cut off - then you must reset
@KaiCreative thanks. I don't know what happened to Canon when they build the 5D Mark II. It has a limit of 12 Minutes for Filming.
good video
Im new in taking videos but can u please suggest the best Memory Card to use for taking videos using a Canon 5D Mark III camera without losing frames and ensuring HD Videos? If anyone can help me with this...
Major brand cards with class 10.
Worth noting this is aimed at videography
Still a good camera 🔥🔥🔥
Yes Bro! Hope you are enjoying the R6 😎
Hello, I'm looking to get my girlfriend a new lens for her birthday, which she has the Canon 5d mark iii. Are there any affordable non Canon lenses to avoid with this model or which works with the best for this model? Thanks
Lenses to avoid? Hmmm there aren’t any that I have come across that are absolutely terrible that I wouldn’t recommend them - but then again I mainly use Canon’s brand 🙏
@@KaiCreative Yeah, Sigma EX-DG series lenses. Also use vintage SLR lenses with the proper adapter.
Do you suggest to change from Fujifilm X-s10 to a 5D mark 3?
Depends what you prefer. If your happy with cropped sensor enjoy it.
5d mark3 and 6D mark 1 are almost the same camera, i mean the sensor is the same but the body is diferent...consider bot :)
Loved my original 6D 😍😃
Just bought a 5000 shutter count 5D III for £500 to supplement my 70D. And two Lumix cameras. And an Insta360 X3 video camera. Might have too many cameras...nah...
i still use my 5dmark3
Price
Just bought used one✔️👍🏿
Happy shooting 📸
Bro 4000d an 50mm lens video good 👏
