Although the sensor and the image processor of Canon 6D mark 2 camera is advanced compared to 5D Mark III but the ISO range of both the camera is exactly same. the base ISO of both the camera is ISO 50 and the max (Expendable) ISO range is 102400.
Image processor
the image processor of the camera is quite different, the Canon 6D mark 2 camera features better image processor compare to the 5D Mark 3 camera. Canon 5D Mark 3 camera is using DIGIC 5+ Image Processor where are the 60 Mark II is using DIGIC 7 image processor. image processor is responsible for overall speed of the camera and not only overall speed
Phase AF Module
DSLRs use Phase AF module only when a photographer use viewfinder for composing shots. When a photographer switch to Live view or video mode then sensor based AF system gets activated. Now the Canon 5D mark III us using traditional sensor hence you have to deal with contrast detect AF system whereas the Canon 6D Mark II camera comes with DPAF sensor. So, the overall AF system of the Canon 6D Mk II is better compared to 5D3.
ISO Range
The standard ISO range of both the camera is bit different. The Canon 5D Mark III standard ISO range remains limited to 25600 where is the standard ISO range of Canon 6D Mark II is 40000. So, we do expect better low light performance of the camera due to high standard ISO range.
Continuous shooting speed
The continuous shooting speed of the Canon 6D Mark II camera is really impressive. When you are going to compare it with a 5 year old Canon 5D Mark 3 camera you will notice only very slight difference. The 6D Mk II features 6.5 fps and 5D3 have 6, but you also have to look at the resolution of Canon 6D Mark II which is approx 4 megapixel more compared to the Canon 5D Mark III.
Video
We can notice a minor improvement in the video section of Canon 6D mark 2 camera. canon 6D mark 2 camera can capture full HD videos @ 60 frames per second whereas the Canon 5D Mark 2 camera limited to 30fps.
Video AF
Video AF is key thing to discuss here, With the help of dual pixel CMOS auto focusing system the users get blazing fast auto focusing while recording video. But Canon 5D Mark 3 camera doesn’t have any hybrid autofocus in system hence users have no other option then using either contrast detect system of the camera.
Display
We have already seen the advantage of canon vari-angle display screen in apsc DSLR, now for the first time Canon introduces vari-angle display in its full frame camera. So, there is no doubt that that display screen of current Canon 6D mark 2 camera is better compared to 5D Mark III by the way both camera features touch screen display
Conclusion
We recommend you to get Canon 6D Mark II camera, since it features better sensor with DPAF, more standard ISO range and enhanced Video AF.

1. New Sensor
Canon 6D Mark II coming with dual pixel CMOS AF (DPAF) sensor whereas the Canon 5D Mark III camera is limited to contrast sensor. The other major improvement you are getting with Canon 6D Mark II camera is more resolution. Canon 5D Mark III camera give 22 megapixels where as 6D mark II camera offers you 26 MP resolution that will be going to helpful to pick up more details of a given frame.
2. New Image Processor
The other one of the most noticeable improvement we can see is the introduction of digit 7 image processor inside the Canon 6D Mark II camera that will going to boost the overall speed as well as the image quality of the camera.
New processor directly means new image processing algorithm is also implemented inside the camera and And hence we are confident that low light performance of Canon 6D Mark II camera will going to be better compared to Canon 5D Mark III
3. Phase AF Module
The Phase AF module of Canon 6D Mark II is still inferior compared to Canon 5D Mark III camera. The Canon 5D Mark III features 65 point Phase AF system whereas the Canon 6D Mark II camera features 45 point AF system. But, at the same time we can say that 6D Mark II is using DPAF tech that will upscale the AF performance of the camera to next level.
At the end the bottom-line is the when we are talking about phase AF module the Canon 5D Mark III is better.
4. Better Video
Canon 6D Mark II is limited to Full HD mode only, whereas the upcoming camera is rumored to feature Full HD video at 60fps. The camera will also offer fast AF support due to DPAF tech used inside the sensor, which will be relatively faster compared to the 5D Mark II camera.
5. Introduction of Vari-angle LCD
If all the rumors are true then for the first time Canon is about to bring a vari-angle tocuh display screen in a fullframe DSLR. Which will going to upscale the overall user experience to a next level.
Yes, WiFi and NFC is going to persent inside the upcoming Canon 6D Mark II which allow you to share your data and do remote shooting flawlessly with 6D Mk 2.
Price difference – Canon 5D Mark III available at $2.3K Amazon | B&H |||| Canon 6D Mark II rumored to have $2K price tag
Conclusion
We have done a rumored specification comparison, more then 40% of data isn’t available right now. But, from the available data it is very clear that Canon 6D Mark II will have advance sensor, better image processor and new Phase AF module. BTW, the phase AF module isn’t as good as 5D Mk 3 AF module but that doesn’t actually matter when you have a DPAF sensor in your hand.
We will going to update this specification comparison review soon, stay with us for latest updates.

With the Help of ML Latest Hack the Canon 5D Mark III Records 4K Video and now you can use Silent Shutter too.
When Magic Lantern announced that Canon 5D Mark III can record 4K videos on April 1 2017 we have decided not to published and to wait for further confirmations. But recently we got confirmation from our subscribers and users that Magic Lantern firmware is actually working and it allow Canon 5D Mark III to record high resolution video.
Kudos to magic Lantern team for doing such a great work, it shows up the unused potential of the 5D Mk3 camera.
Canon 5D Mark III Write Speed Limit
Now let me tell you some insights of Canon 5D Mark 3 camera. If you use Lexar 64GB Professional 1066x CompactFlash Memory Card (UDMA 7) card in Canon 5D Mark 3 camera then you will get write speed of 95.3 megabytes per second which is quite fast but not sufficient if you wish to record a 4K video. Even if you use SanDisk Pro 64GB card then you will get exactly the same write speed.
Hence the Write Speed of the camera limiting it to record 4K videos, despite of the ML team successfully recorded 4K videos from the camera for few seconds and even you can try it too.
There are some issues while recording 4K videos with Canon 5D Mark 3 camera
- Recording limit of Canon 5D Mark 3 camera. The physical hardware as well as the software of the camera limit the write max speed 100MB/s, which will not allow for 4K@ 24fps to be recorded on the camera.
- If you force FullHD recording camera to record 4K or 3K video you may face Overheating due to overuse of hardware resources.
5D Mark III Records 3K video with 24fps and 14 bit
Yes there are some serious issues in recording 4K video from Canon 5D Mark III camera but you can easily record 3K video with 24fps and 14 bit – And the 3K video doesn’t touches the 100 MB/s threshold. New Resolutions Available with the Hacks Are
These are the video modes that can be activated with the latest ML hack:
- 1920×960 @ 50p (both 1:1 crop and full-frame – 3×3 pixel binning)
- 1920×800 @ 60p (same as above)
- 1920×1080 @ 45p and 48p (3×3 binning)
- 1920×1920 @ 24p (1:1 square crop)
- 3072×1920 @ 24p (1:1 crop)
- 3840×1600 @ 24p (1:1 crop)
- 4096×2560 @ 12.5p (1:1 crop)
- 4096×1440 @ 25p (1:1 crop)
- Full-resolution LiveView: 5796×3870 at 7.4 fps (128ms rolling shutter).
Canon 5D Mark III and Silent Shutter
One of the best features for Canon still shooters are the introduction of Silent shutter in Canon 5D Mark III camera. The new implementation will be usable at fast shutter speeds, without the exposure gradient

We are doing a early image comparison between these two iconic DSLRs. The Canon 5D Mark III was announced 2nd March 2012 and after 4 years and 5 months of time its successor is finally coming. Canon really invested a lot of time in the development and design of the upcoming Canon 5D Mark IV camera.
Let’s see the image comparison between these two DSLRs and spot out the difference.
The biggest difference we can spot in the first look is the new logo design of the Canon 5D Mark IV camera.
We can clearly spot the new button that appeared on the rear side of the camera, it’s may be a switch or joystick ? SHARE YOUR VIEW WITH US
Canon 5D Mark IV – we can spot re-arrangements of ports rest of the design remains same.
Again almost identical, so both sides of the camera is almost same and no major change is visible.
