As of December 19th 2013 I am the proud owner of a brand new Canon EOS 5D mark III digital camera. I have taken it on a trip to the Western part of the USA over the Xmas holidays and I am ready to share my first impressions:
The photo to the left was shot in Death Valley shot during a recent trip to the USA.
- I love the larger view of this full-frame digital camera and I am still getting used to the apparent shrinking of focus distance of all my lenses
- This camera really takes better quality pictures in situations with challenging light conditions
- The switch from my old 7D to this new 5D mark iii is effortless, because the controls and menu system are mostly identical
- It uses the same model battery and same memory card (CF) as my old 7D
- So now I am already eying the super telelens L offerings from Canon ... sigh
