This Canon 5D MkIII is a highly anticipated model. The popular Canon 5DMkII has been in the market for a very long time (in digital terms). This is the camera of choice by a lot of PMPE Alumni. It is lighter than the Canon 1D series and offers a full frame sensor.

There has been a lot of speculation on the specifications, looks and release dates. I had a talk with our local Canon Office and they can’t confirm the rumors or release dates. Anyway, here are some of the rumoured specifications flying around the internet world.
