Canon, will be released in late March 2012, the SLR camera “EOS 5D Mark III” prosumer digital SLR boasts a full-fledged work suitable for making both stills and video, rendering power excellence.
“EOS 5D Mark III” is the successor model of the “EOS 5D Mark II” the conventional model (released in November 2008), image quality has been improved dramatically for both stills and video. In addition, and increase the accuracy of the AF and continuous shooting speed from previous models, in addition to shooting performance was significantly improved, we have also evolved for the expressive power of filmmaking.
■ Overwhelming response to the high-quality full-fledged work together to create a still image and video
Equipped with 5 + engine CMOS sensor and DIGIC image with a newly developed 35mm full size, of about ten thousand 2,230 pixels, about 17 times the processing power of DIGIC 4, the image quality was achieved in high-definition wide dynamic range. In addition, the ISO sensitivity up to ISO25600, emergency has expanded the highest, and the night scenes in the hand, even when shooting portraits in dark scenes, allow you to shoot beautiful with reduced noise. Also, when the movie was to substantially reduce the incidence of false color and moiré from the conventional model, high quality images can be obtained with low noise and more.
■ AF system a wide range of high-precision
The newly developed AF system, was installed the same “EOS-1D X” and the top models (will be released end of April 2012), AF sensor point of the new total number of 61 AF point. This capture rate of a moving subject and ability to respond to a variety of composition is improved, and are extremely useful in the shooting motion, such as portrait and in particular.
■ Excellent responsiveness to achieve a comfortable shooting
CMOS sensor and a newly developed reading speed has been improved to 8ch from 4ch traditional, by high-speed image processing of the 5 + DIGIC, while maintaining the number of pixels of high pixel 2,230 millions, a high-speed continuous shooting a 6-second frames / up to approximately was possible. In addition, compared with the conventional model, we have also realized shortening of release time lag.
■ Digital camera with interchangeable lenses;
(Worldwide) has reached approximately 16 million units, up 23 percent year-on-year shipments of interchangeable lens type digital camera in 2011. With the growth of demand in 2012 with a focus on Asia, and about 20 million units, up 25 percent year-over-year, steady market expansion have been expected. (According to Canon)
