Canon 5D Mark III vs Canon 5D mark II, read the quick specification comparison review below.
New Sensor
Canon 5D Mark III comes with newly designed 22.3 megapixels Full Frame sensor and DIGIC 5+ image processor.
The new sensor captures 5784 x 3861 large individual 6.25 µm pixels and has a much-improved S/N ratio resulting in better images from the start. A new photodiode structure with an increased photoelectric conversion rate increases the sensor’s sensitivity by approximately 2 stops over previous models, meaning higher ISOs with the lowest noise of any EOS digital camera. And a 2-line 8-channel simultaneous signal readout means speeds of up to 6.0 fps (RAW + JPEG) are possible!
Image processor
With an increased 8-channel read out, the camera comfortably handles a maximum full resolution speed of up to 6fps in bursts of 18 RAW images or over 16,000 JPEGs.
The DIGIC 5+ Image Processor improves data processing performance and features new algorithms that promote greater noise reduction at higher ISOs. In addition to conventional image processing functions the DIGIC 5+ Image Processor offers real-time compensation for chromatic aberration in both still and motion images.
AF Points
The EOS 5D Mark III utilizes the same 61-point wide-area AF system as the flagship EOS-1D X, One of the most advanced AF systems currently available, it features an impressive 41 cross-type points and five dual cross-type points and f/4.0 lens support, providing unsurpassed accuracy across the frame. The customizable AF pre-sets introduced in the EOS-1D X are also available,
ISO Range
Canon 5D Mark III features ISO 100–25,600 standard sensitivity range, ISO can be expanded to L: 50, H1: 51200, H2 102400.
Movies
EOS HD Video with manual exposure control and multiple frame rates (1080: 30p (29.97) / 24p (23.976) / 25p, 720: 60p (59.94) / 50p, 480: 30p (29.97) / 25p with 4 GB automatic file partitioning (continuous recording time 29 minutes 59 seconds), selectable “All i-frame” or IPB compressions, embedded timecode, manual audio level control while recording, and headphone terminal.
The new 5D Mark III CMOS sensor’s new drive system significantly increases image processor performance, reducing color artifacts and moiré (a common problem that occurs in scenes with horizontal lines)
Overall Conclusion
The 5D mark III features new sensor, new image processor, better ISO range, Advance AF system and a bit longer battery life.
According to TOS Photography (official Facebook account) the Nikon D800 Promo Video have Canon 5D Mark II Video Clips, the video clip that appear on the 7th second was captured with the Canon 5D Mark II and not Nikon D800’s.
bit surprised to see Nikon using some of my video clips in the world launch of the Nikon D800 camera in Bangkok on the 7th without contacting me. Especially since Canon is one of my sponsors, and I use a 5DII.
This is the official promo clip of the Nikon D800 in Bangkok.
Do you Remember when few days ago fuji said“resolution and low noise of upcoming FujiFilm X mirrorless interchangeable lens camera will surpass the 35mm full size sensor”.., Now a Japanese blog published 100% cropped images of X-Pro1 and Canon 5D Mark II taken at ISO 400 to 6400, in JPG and RAW mode (converted via SILKYPIX) , the results will surprise anyone.
Most popular camera of Flickr in 2011 is Apple iPhone 4 and is the only cameraphone in the top five cameras overall, Nikon D90 and Canon cameras models like the EOS 5D Mk II, EOS Digital Rebel and 7D dominate the rest of the top five.
In Compact camera category Canon is clear winner, Canon S95 is the most popular compact camera of 2011 and rest all four cameras are made by canon.
In Smartphone category iPhone 4 is the leader and the second most used cameraphone is iPhone 3G, just behind the 3G is the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4S is at fourth position but coming quickly above the graph, If we look at November and Dec Stats only iPhone 4S is the second most used camera of flickr and in the fifth place you can see the HTC Evo 4G.

One of my favourite Tracking Shots to date is the ‘High-Speed Human Dolly’ piece from the guys at Loaded Boards. Happily, they’re back again with another killer video, this time featuring pro longboarder, Amanda Powell. Adam Colton, who’s been putting our Atlas 10 slider to good use, had the following concept for the video;
“Amanda and I had fun and tried out an abstract video idea we hope you enjoy. Amanda Powell gets into her Ferrari and drives offs. A tragic misfortune brings her to a world she does not fully understand. The interpretation is entirely left up to you.”

Fingernail vs Full Frame sensor – iPhone 4S vs Canon 5D Mark II, The video quality of iPhone 4S is really amazing..see the comparison video (below) and share your thoughts
***You can download the full 1080p version of this video for a more accurate representation.
Here’s a “fair” test between the iPhone 4S and the Canon 5D MK II. I made a little rig that allowed me to shoot both cameras at the same time side by side. All scenes are perfectly synced together so you can pause and scrutinize the frames! See photo of the makeshift rig in the photo area.
Exposure, shutter speed, frame rate and picture style were matched as close as possible between the two cameras.
This test shows that the tiny F2.4 lens and sensor on the iPhone are pretty nice. It even got a little depth of field!
I did not note accurate 5D settings per shot because it’s pretty useless in the end for an iPhone comparison… I tried to matched the iPhone so no “Cinestyle” / 24p here.
Here are the settings:
iPhone 4S
– AE.AF locked. That’s all you have!
Canon 5D MKII
– Canon 50mm 1.4
– ISO 160 ~ 640 (varied per shot to match the iPhone)
– F 7~22 (varied per shot to match the iPhone)
– Shutter 1/60th
– Auto WB
