The Canon 5D Mark III's video feature set is comprehensive, as you'd expect given its price point and target market. There are still a few things absent that we've seen from competitors, such as full-time autofocus, the ability to capture still images during video, and to shoot 720p video at frame rates below 50p, but we're nitpicking.

A promised firmware update will add uncompressed HDMI video output to the list. The 5D Mark III's offers both automatic and manual exposure control, single autofocus (but not full-time AF), audio levels control, internal and external microphone support, audio monitoring, timecode support, a choice of interframe / intraframe compression types, and more. The 5D Mark III takes that heritage and builds upon it, with a robust feature-set indeed, and an important addition slated to arrive from April 2013. (Regular photos taken with the Canon EOS 5D Mark III)Ĭanon's 5D Mark II proved extremely popular with professional videographers for its combination of creative options, and its relatively compact, affordable body compared to dedicated movie cameras.
