Appearance
Canon EOS 5D Mark III does not carry any load other than a purely functional - yes, you can look at these circumscriptions as beauty and ugliness. It is a large, as adapted to the needs of the photographer with a black cabinet unit on the chassis of a magnesium alloy, covered with plastic, and the points of contact with hands equipped with rubber-embossed patterns.
Canon EOS 5D Mark III is not very different from its predecessor in terms of lines, but it is quite noticeable in terms of the functional elements. Retaining overall control logic and locations Mark II, the novelty has a few things like "on-demand": switch off moved to the selected mode, becoming more comfortable, and the selector, which is now gone extinct mode CA (everything else in the old way) got a lock button. Simultaneously useful and annoying other equally controversial element in the management of photographic equipment
Making on-off switch, Canon had to place his last location put a special lock lever steering wheel. Generally unusual for this time-out of the trend of combining more functions on a smaller number of controls touched a few things: a separate button made inclusion of the "Quick Menu" (IE access to the settings for the character status menu) added single multifunction key (for example, is it to switch between focus mode by opening the menu) to add the button on (marking) of pictures taken, and, most importantly, a new button to start recording video, combined with the switch in Live View. A set of interfaces and their locations are like Mark II. On the left edge: high-speed USB, output HDMI mini, Video output (PAL / NTSC), mini-jack for headphones, external microphone (stereo mini-jack). Covered by two strips of rubber. Note the differences between the headphone jack.
Dimensions Canon EOS 5D Mark III: 152x116, 4x76, 4 mm. Differences from the Mark II in millimeters. But the weight is much higher about 950 grams instead of 810 predecessor. And it is not the easiest camera has become even harder. This is hardly affected the popularity of thing is clearly not buying the dimensions and external parameters (not a Smartphone, after all) - but the fact is not pleasant. Canon EOS 5D Mark III has not learned to shoot video at 60p, is limited to 30 frames per second, but yes, progressive. Container - MOV, Codec - H.264. Or, MPEG-4. The most enjoyable, in addition to management bonuses, innovation is the ability to choose between ALL-I and IPB compressions. Maximum file size - 4 GB, that given the time constraints (standard for photographic equipment 29 minutes 59 seconds) is not critical.
