Blog 05 – It’s finally here! Canon launches long awaited 5D Mark III!
Some big news just came out today from Canon in releasing their much anticipated upgrade to the hugely popular Canon 5D Mark 2, which was released 3 years ago. Since then, nothing has been the same. The lines between the film and photography industries, as well as, professional and independent movie making, have become very blurred. For those of you who don’t know what all the fuss is about; it basically revolves around the possibility of shooting hollywood quality footage with a photography camera, at a price point that has never been seen before the launch of the Canon 5D Mark 2 and the Nikon D90. Being a proud owner of a 5DMark2 myself, I was obviously anticipating what the new changes to the legendary camera would be and the good news is, I was not disappointed from what I read. It seems that the folks at Canon have been listening to the complaints and needs of filmmakers and Photographers for the past few years and have come up with some pretty impressive upgrades, that make this new camera a very strong contender in an increasingly brutal and competitive HDSLR market. We’ll all have to wait until the end of March when the first Mark 3s are released, to find out just how well the new features perform. My guess is that these cameras will be flying off the shelves. B+H is already sold out on pre-orders and good luck finding one at your local camera shop. I’m gonna try to get mine, how about you?
