The 5d Mark iii is still an excellent camera for photography. Careers have been started, built and sustained on the 5d Mark iii over the last by decade. The idea that the Mark iii is outdated comes only from amateurs and rich hobbyists. If you have a markiii, a 50mm, and 85mm, a 24-70 and a 70-200, you can do most anything photography related for the next 10 years with that setup.
I couldn’t agree more! 🙂🙏
Absolutely. The major change that came after the 5DIII was DPAF, essentially turbocharging the type of high definition video capture introduced with the Mark II. For purely stills photography -- and absent a need for insanely large prints -- the 5DIII offers everything needed for the modern photographer.
I’m starting my photography journey and a friend is letting me use her 5D and I couldn’t be more thankful to her
@@maybethisthishelp767 the 5D is still a great camera. It’s full frame and the colors rendered are very nice. Just watch out for its limited low light capabilities.
I am a poor hobbyist😂 bought mine for less then £ 700 and I took some pictures with perfect lights and the photos are excellent, recently I tried my friend’s r5 men what a great camera it is but the pictures are just as good as each other I didn’t saw much difference basically if you are a professional photographer you have to be good at taking photos at right setting and know how to do the editing professionally’ and you have to be very creative , it’s not so much about camera 5 d mk3 is pro camera it takes great photos.
Same like if you have 2005 golf gti or a 2021 gti they are both sports cars and they are both very fast with powerful engines , but it will depends on the drivers skill how fast he is able drive. 5 d mark three is able to meet any photography need but you must have skills
Honestly after this video I expected you to have like 200k+ subscribers and was surprised of the number, so I’m gonna subscribe now and maybe the 200k come at a later day ;)
Great video, inherited a 5D m3 recently and I can definitely learn a lot about photography
5DMk lll for photography is still an outstanding camera in terms of image quality and can go toe to toe with any modern - 2024 camera. Some of its great qualities are its 100% field of view, color science, ergonomics, auto focus system, dual card slots, and overall durability make it a keeper. Thanks for your accurate video presentation.
Thanks for sharing. Really helpful.
Thank you so much for this video! I was considering buying a used Mark III from a friend as an extra camera and while there are a few drawbacks I think I'm going to go ahead with the purchase.
I didn't think I'd find a relevant Mark III video in 2020 but here it is, so thank you again!
Good choice! I still use my mark iii even to this day. Thanks so much for the positive feedback! 😊
What a nice extra was the initial history lesson! great video!!
Excellent, to the point video … thank you. Cheers
Brilliant stuff. Keep up your quality and effort. Love it.
Thank you! 🙏
Thank you so much for this video! I use my Canon 5D mark 3 for youtube videos and I didn't even think to change it, it's still a great camera.
Thanks for making this, I was becoming so frustrated with my video in post, it was always blurry and I didn't understand why the quality did not match what I see as main stream video in 2021. Relived that it's not something I'm doing wrong.
Nice video and yes i want the Canon 5d3. What are you shooting this video with? Amazing!
Thanks for the great video on this
You’re welcome 😊🙏
I just came across your channel. Real great stuff, I wish great success.
Thank you! That literally means the world to me 🙏😊
damn fire channel bro i subscribed cause this videos quailty + good info. keep it up 👍🏼
Thanks so much! 🙏
Hell yes it is if you do video also!
It may not have all the bells and whistles like the newer cameras of the day but it is still an awesome camera and it still produce a quality image! I'm using this right now to shoot videos
Thanks dude...im.thinking bout getting canon 5d iii
For photography, Yes. For video, its complicated.
2 reasons for getting the 5D Mkiii in 2023. Used on MPB it is under $600 with a shutter count under 50k, that is amazing. The next reason is for mostly long exposure night photography such as the stars, light painting, city scapes at night etc. FF is the way to go for long exposure and MF too but the latter is way out of my budget.
hi man! great vid! you say it has no continous auto focus. my sony a6000has. do you think i should replace the sony to canon, for low light concert photography? the auto focus will be worse?
Thank you for this video! 5D mark lll it is a professional camera and even now in 2021 it is a great camera for make a good money. This camera will be relevant for a professionals next 8-10 years)
Great video, saw an used one for sale and wanted to know if its worth it nowadays. Thanks!
No problem!
i just picked up a 5D mark 3 today off my buddy for only $400. it was his triple back up he never got to use. I’m coming from a 40D shooting cars! i’m hyped
That’s brilliant, great price too! Good luck I’m sure you’ll love it 👍🙂
I’m an amateur looking to move into professionalism, and wondering what I should replace the EOS 70D I had to sell. I’m currently getting by with an Olympus EPL8 (downgraded from a EM5mark2) and a borrowed EOS 1000D. Am I better off selling the EPL8 as well and getting something like an RP, upgrading the Olympus system, or keeping the EPL8 and buying a used pro-type camera like this 5Dmark3? I mostly take photos and not particularly interested in videography (at this point) apart from personal interest stuff like my pets, local animals etc
Lovely clear presentation. As you clearly said technology moves on: so today's flagships would be tomorrow's barges. I love my MK III. Not sure whether, I really want a MK IV or is it worth considering R5, any thoughts on this?
Please do a video on 7D MK II, if you could. Best wishes. Take great care.
5D 3: Sigma EX-DG lenses & vintage SLR lenses with no crop factor.
im currently using the 4000d.. would the 5d mark2 be worth the money?
How much would you pay today for a (barely) used/secondhand 5D Mark III with 200 shutter count?
I just bought used Canon 5D iii in early Nov 2020 , and I really love it!
Can’t go wrong 👌
How much did it cost you sir ??? Want to get one too
@@pojamedia I got mine for around USD680. It was a bargain as the shutter count was just around 70k here in HK. I tried bidding in ebay but kept getting out bid the last min which is annoying and they pay so high.
Had my 5D3 for almost 2 years and love it. Just picked up a 5DSR to add to my kit.
Purchased one brand new with good L series lenses. Still using them today. Excellent camera. Get good lenses it makes all the difference.
Wow what a steal!
just bought a used 5d 3 in 2021 :)
Can’t go wrong at all lol
I’m about to purchase it, I’m so scared to buy used though.
@@native1181 Try watching this th-cam.com/video/CvcXYDQLUP0/w-d-xo.html for some advice on buying a used Canon 5D. The video is on the Mark ii but everything applies to the mark iii. Good luck 🙂
My main camera. Still great.
Used to dream of a 5d3 5 years back when using ML on a 550D. Now they're £500, and while other sensors and processors have moved on, a 5d3 with ML can still mix it with anything, and arguably towers over all in bang for buck. Some of the results I've seen are astonishing if you're ok with the workflow. 14bit Raw continuous at 1080p30, and plenty of options at 60fps and 48fps to come close. After all these years A1ex at ML is STILL at it too. Astonishing. Do lookout for the shutter count if buying s/h
Do you have to use an sd card? My problem is that I want to film myself painting and to stop every 20 minutes to change a card would be inconvenient. I wonder what the best camera is to just plug in to a computer as not worry about it.
what about some reccomendations for low budget photography
Many thanks for the useful input! I have just purchased a 5D MK III with around 5000 clicks (practically new) + 24 - 105 f4L. Will use my trusty 80D for video. I have decided to avoid 4K and stay at FHD.... Already full of various HD for my files (+ backups) and I cannot afford the extra space requirements for 4K....
80d is rubbish. 5d mark III can shoot 14 bit raw video which destroys even latest 4k spec cameras as mot of them only shoots h.265 or prores.
hi nice video,what camera and lense are you using. thanks
Thanks, my talking head set up is shot on the 5D mark iii with the Tamron 24-70mm set at around 60mm at F/2.8 and the B roll of the camera was shot on a Sony a6300 🙂
5d Mark iii has a magic lantern version, allowing for amazing higher resolutions and RAW video
Yes, 5k and upto 14bit is entirely possible with a mkIII and magic lantern.
Any advices for the noise of mark iii please
I love mine and I feel it's still worth it.
5D Mrk iii + Sigma 15mm EX-DG, 24mm & 50mm, 70-300mm EF.
Yes.
I think the Sony a7 II is worth considering for around the same price on the used market. it has in-body image stabilization, and it's lighter weight. The XAVC codec yields some high video quality without any hacks or external devices. It doesn't shoot 4K either, but can do 60p in 1080p. You also get an electronic viewfinder that works in video as well as stills, something DSLRs can't do. The screen also tilts up and down, so that's something even though it doesn't flip around.
It would be great if someone could hack these Sony cameras similar to the Magic Lantern hacks for Canon.
I was about to buy one
Of course it is. Great photos come the person using the camera ... The 5D mk3 is a workhorse professional camera ... Be creative and you'll be rewarded with stunning images 👍
I totaly agree: 5d Mark iii is still an excellent camera for photography. I really like to work with it.
Especially for videography.
Full frame sensor + stunning colour palate.
i'm not worry about 4k i want a camera that can record video great in low light and take nice sharp pictures that's all i'm worrying about. what you think about the canon 6d mark 2
I’ve had my eye on the 6d mark ii for a little while now. It’s a great camera and ticks all your boxes and more. If the price is right for you, I’d say go for it! :) plus I would kill for the flip out screen on my 5d mark iii
@@taohudson they cost a lot of money the most i'm going to pay is 500 to 700 no more than that
Nice review. I’ve had the canon 5D mk iii for a few years now and it’s build quality is amazing it’s survived so much use.
They sure are built to last :)
Best bang for buck camera
Trans Formers 1 also used 5D Mark II and 7Ds for some scenes!
Good ....👏👏Megapixel .....?
I’m a wildlife photographer but do landscape so looking for a cheap ff since ML are out the dslr are getting cheaper I was looking at the 5d2 5d3 6d don’t need speed just solid camera
5D 3, offers so much for less.
@@arricammarques1955 Tnx sticking with my 7d2
Acabo de comprar una 5D mark iii para usarlo mas en video y ya me desanime :(
Put Magic Lantern on a card and put it in the camera, you can do up to 5k video recording in RAW format if I’m not mistaken!
Yes, you need both a fast SD and CF card to achieve 5k and 14bit with magic lantern installed. Many pro cine cameras cannot do that.
im using my mark iii with 50mm f1.2 since 2014
Nice combo! 👌
thank for your video but i want your advise i'm about to buy a 5D mark iii the shutter count is 18868 is worth to buy right?
Did you find lower shutter count?
I am a professional photographer and i use 5D mark lll and plan to use more 5-6 years
I still shoot with the Canon 20D!
Camera how much price bro
I just got a mark iii, a 6d, 7dii and L glass handed down. Should I yeet it?
Yep throw it all out. Then pm me and let me know where to pick it up from
Nicely done, Thanks for not putting music in background, That’s why subscribed.also, please do not put intro more than 3 seconds :)
I've got an offer on a Canon 5D Mark III for 550$.It comes with 2 batteries,CF card,charger and a new shutter ready for replacement. It was used as a backup camera for wedding photography and it has 450k shutter count right now. Exteriror looks mint besides a few scratches and it works fine. Do you think I should take it?
That’s a very high shutter count!
@@Kenneth-bm5zr Yea I know.I bought it 4 months ago and it serves me very well.I've done all kinds of shoots with it.Got a spare shutter to replace when this dies.The camera is is very good shape anyways
@@znaskoejakov331 Mine is at over 500,000 shutter count on the original shutter :) was told by Canon techs its not unheard of to see these last past the 1 million mark, especially if they get over 200-300k then they usually go forever.
@@daddybacon1950 I checked yesterday and mine has 470k on the clock.They really are built like tanks, like people say.Recently, it fell off my chair onto a hard floor, it had a Sigma 35mm f1.4 on it (a very heavy lens) and absolutely nothing happened to it. I was shocked, I could have lost "half of my life" in a second hahaha
I just purchased my 5D MK III with a count above 300,000 with a limited warranty. I’m truly hoping it’s built like a tank. I’ve seen too many testimonies that says it is so I’m excited to get mine. My first full frame camera, no more 1.6 multiplying math 😂😂😂
How well does the Canon Mark III hold up with higher shutter counts?
It's a beast + proper care. Solid body & grip.
@@arricammarques1955
Thanks - found a low count 5DMKIV at a good price
Still stand alone in 2024 love my 5D mark iii
Futhermore it is still worth Mark ii in 2020! He gives you more than the last crop cameras if we talk only about photo.
Currently own a 6D, any own a 6d and upgrade to a 5D iii? Any thoughts?
I own a 6D for my 24-70 2.8 lens AND a 5D MIII for my 70-200 2.8 lens ( the only other lens I use of the L-series is the 100mm macro 2.8).
So why not 'keeping' your 6D .. ;-) and buying a occasion 5d MIII?
@@BuckDanny54 I guess what I was getting at is the 5D iii a big upgrade from the 6D? Is there a considerable difference ?
Thanks for the video. I wanted to be optimistic about a 5d deal I found in lieu of getting a new RP, but I was already skeptical about the SD CF dual storage... Knowing that it won't double record videos is a big miss to me. Great photography camera but since they're almost all the same price as an RP I really can't justify it without modern AF. Was hoping the dual slots would be a selling point for event shooting... Alas, it's a very antiquated version of dual storage. :(
We use a 5D Mk3 to shoot our fake commercials and other skits. Magic Lantern brings a little more life into this camera by allowing RAW video recording and 3.5k resolution.
Loving my 5 D M3 it's a used one but so I at 77
For still photography, the 5DIII remains viable, mature technology in 2021 and beyond. Only video shooters need to look elsewhere.
Thank you,I needed to know this
@@ark8tct I can't help you,I'm sorry
Heah? I had a 600d and would buy a 5d JUST FOR VIDEO.
A videographers dream, if you add the raw hacks ;-)
yo .. what camera do you use
The talking head stuff was on the 5d mk iii and the shots of the 5d were taken on the Sony a6300 😊👍
@@taohudson do you ever cut the 6300 footage with the ML mkiii raw footage?
@@dpixvid I have done a couple of times in the past at a pinch. (Although I wouldn’t really recommend) I did find that matching the dominant colours and tone on the scopes gave the best results. Also, the HSL secondary tab in Premiere was very helpful at times as both have totally different codecs, they both had a slightly different rendition of blues and teal. Having said that, they did end up cutting together pretty decently, all be it with a bit of work. 🙂
It does actually shoot 4k if you use magic lantern RAW video
And 5k 14bit...
@@sapienproductions the 1x3 pixel binned modes are not actually true resolution but they are actually quite brilliant in the way they works.
The effective resolution in EOS M for example in 5.2k 1x3 mode is 3.8MP. 5.2K is 14MP. That's over triple the amount of pixels that's needed for true 5.2K
Is there no continuos autofocus??
No.
Good enough for Sam Abell, good enough for you
I couldn’t agree more 🙂
i'm looking for a camera with a fast auto focus and great in low light situations i heard very nice things about this camera i mean 22.3 megapixels is great but i want a full frame camera that can do everything and i learn the camera
sony a7iii
The 5d series are all full frame
You're going to get fast auto focus by using a fast lens.
@@nickfatsis9607 which one is a good fast lens
Photographers, you ruin the world, as camera conspiracies always says.
THIS IS “THE” VIDEO CAMERA WE SHOULD LEARN TO APPRECIATE! :)
I'm not interested in the video Photography is a great tool for today
this camera is still worth in 2030 :))
Just ordered one for $500 AUD.
J'en vend un a 700€ sur liege
I love it, can you give me one🙏
hi tao
Hey 😁
LoL you look like a young Joe Biden. Good stuff though. I am using this camera for mostly food photography. Still learning how to get the most of it if I am being honest. Any recommendations as to vids or articles that could help me get better? I also intend to use it for short vids. Mostly in ambient restaurant lighting. Cheers bruv!
Calling someone a Biden is not polite
@@DB-nl9xw 😀😀😀

Lets get one thing right the 5d is a stills camera and its fantastic as a still camera if your into video buy a dedicated video camera.
So Daz tell me, what camera would you suggest if someone wants to shoot full frame FHD video, in a small body, with great colour, the same ports and flexibility, that’s under £600 AND is a VIDEO camera ONLY? Hmmmmm???
I think I’ve made my point...
@@taohudson Sorry iv'e no idea as I'm not into video . I'm old school come from SLR film photography when video was a separate thing so if the 5d had no video capability then I wouldn't be bothered.
:DDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Dude you really talk with your hands.
Yeah I should probably do something about that lol
Opening music is HORRENDOUS
Thanks very much
For pictures yes it still reliable. Video urm not anymore.
Not that much of an improvement of the Mark III over the Mark II.
Answer: yes for photographers. Anything else, not really
Just buy a 6D Mark II, it is an upgrade from this camera in every way.
absolutely NOT in every way.
@@jeffdeezy I have a 5d Mark iii and 6d Mark ii. I know it is a massive upgrade.
Could you please tell me why? I'm trying to decide between these two cameras.
I don’t want to be rude but dam haircut bro
Young kid pretending
This is the worst camera in my life, was a big mistake, pain in my ass..i don't know what are you talking about.. I'm a professional photographer this camera worst than an iphone11..
Can you elaborate on what your problems were?
