10 Reasons to Consider a 5DMARKIII IN 2022 | KaiCreative

[@KaiCreative]

The 5DMarkIII turns 10 years old this year! But is it past it's sell by date? Well here are 10 reasons to consider why you should get one in 2022 and a few reasons why you shouldn't 😎 What do you think of the legendary 5DMarkIII? Let me know down below 👇

[@andrewdoeshair]

I had a 5Diii for like six years and I thought I'd be buried with it. Thing had 300k shutter actuations and was still going strong. I reluctantly switched to an EOS RP, then EOS R, then R6 because I started dabbling in youtube and I wanted a flippy screen and face tracking. Both the RP and R made me fall out of love with photography (for fun) because they were anything but tactile and responsive, shooting photos with them felt sluggish and cumbersome after years with a 5Diii, which felt like an extension of my hand that reacted as quickly to the scene as my brain did. In the studio for work I was happy enough with they RP and R, but for shooting any kind of real life (like a toddler running around in and out of the sun and shade) it was torture to use either camera. It was minor little things, like with the 5Diii the DOF preview button could be programmed to switch between one shot and servo by holding it or not holding it, but on the RF cameras it's a toggle to switch, so it's not muscle memory but instead is a mental note. Same with the lock, they ditched the physical switch (not on the RP) and now locking or unlocking the controls requires looking at the camera to remember if you're locking or unlocking, and making a mental note. They ditched the video switch and relegated video to a spot on the mode dial (RP and R6) so you can't save custom video modes on those cameras (or shoot video in shutter priority). I feel like a crazy person a lot of the time because nobody else is complaining about this stuff! Sure I've got 20 fps bursts with the electronic shutter now, but I just want a camera that I can use with one hand without looking at it-- like the 5Diii...

Upgrading from the 5D Mk3 to R5C, once Canon ships them. I don't think, I'll get rid of the Mk3 initially, because it's still a superb stills camera. And I do agree, that for photo, the 5D Mk3 and Mk4 were still superior over the EOS R and RP.

[@tonyrobinson8197]

Great video. I bought a 5D mark 2 in order to use my collection of vintage lenses, the mark 3 in Australian dollars was double the price. No stabilisation, exif data, or frills, but adapting older film lenses and using them in native focal length on a beautiful sensor is a joy. I am stunned at the quality of the older glass and sensor. Using a mirror less crop sensor camera everyday highlights the DSLR tech limitations you mentioned, so it isn’t going to be my number one tool, however for landscape, still life and flowers etc it is sensational. I was tempted to pick up the 24-105mm f4 L lens, but had to keep my resolve and stay true to why I bought the 5D Mk 2 in the first place.

[@RudyVisuals]

I can still remember when this camera was brand new! I still think for stills and simple videos, these older full-frame DSLRs still have a lot to offer but it's hard to justify really getting one when a decent mirrorless with 4k, 120 fps and eye AF etc can be had for a little more money. Still though, worth keeping around! We wish we never sold our 6d mk2 just because its nice to have a DSLR once in a while!

[@quazisanjeed6395]

Thank you for the video. My son gifted me a 5DIII about a year ago with a shutter count of 215k. Obviously, he used it heavily for wedding shoots. Nevertheless, I accepted it with gratitude. I know it’s rated for 150k shutter actuations however, perhaps you know one 5DII (which also I own) clicked 2 million actuations and still working fine. That makes me believe my copy of 5DIII should also touch or surpass at least 500k shots. I’m a hobbyist photographer shooting mainly landscape, street photos and wildlife. I was really amazed to see 5DIII meets almost all my needs for wildlife photography. The burst rate is fast enough, great auto ISO, good low-light performance, dual card slots and does AF at f8 with extender. Therefore, it’s a fantastic second camera in support of my flagship 1DIV for shooting wildlife. It’s already a champion in the other two genre I shoot. Thanks again.

Why, upgrade? If it works for your needs. Its perfect.

I mostly shoot concerts and stages and my 5D Mk III served me well for many years (got it second-hand a while ago, with very low shot count) and, yes, it's a tank. Very beer-proof, I can vouch for that. :) But in very low light, it's getting a bit dated.

[@sklba632]

So maybe Kai Creative will have some insight into my question. I bought a used 5dm3. The body looks like it's been beaten to a pulp. However, the shutter count is only like 6000. The best I can assume is that it was used more for video than photography. How much of an impact will this have on the life of the camera? Everything seems to be working fine, but I just had a 5Dm2 shutter die on me after 3 months and it was working fine too. 330k shutters though.

[@inhim05]

The sensor is very durable so I wouldn’t worry about longevity of it. Its the mechanical parts like shutter or switches going bad first.

[@mikeytek]

Used to shoot sports and went from a 5D4, 1dxii and 6D. I sold my gear and kept the 6D with 3 lenses for the occassional fan event or pics. The 6D does the job but it's AF struggles like crazy and misses often. That being said I'm shocked to see 5Diii for so cheap so will be purchasing one and gifting my 6D to someone. If you have the know how a 5Diii is very useable and capable for stills

[@blacksharkpro3youtube]

Im still using 5D3 up to now in photography.

[@jroar123]

I have seen too many out there for sale that are overpriced. Even at a decent price, glass is still expensive for what it is. Which brings me to the new Canon cameras. Although you can shoot both video and stills, I would suggest a real video camera that can shoot all day long and never overheat. Still, for the hobbyist, the mark 3 is a good camera however, if full frame is not that big of an issue, I would go APSC and get the 70D for the budget first starting off camera. Then skip the 80 and go on to the 90 before thinking of the mirrorless options. And keep this in mind, 4K takes up a lot of memory space. If this is your hobby, shoot in 1080 at 30 FPS. The 24 (23.89 something like that) really looks best on KZbin shooting at 30. You will really notice the difference when you pan your shots. Did I mention the EF lenses are dirt cheap these days and those are the brand new ones collecting dust in back room storage shelves.

[@KaiCreative]

I’ve used the 5Dmark III and IV for quite a few years each and can vouch for the photo quality being amazing particularly with L series lenses! Recently I’ve had the opportunity to use the A7iii and also thought it was fantastic for photos, the A7iii for video is probably also better with the in built log (although make sure you get ND filters) and 120fps, if you’re not interested in video then probably don’t worry about those points. One thing that does stand out is the weight - found then Canons get heavy on a shoot day. If you love canon glass you can also look at getting a Sony/canon adapter. 👍👌

[@ouiliemedia]

An A7III with a Canon EF to Sony FE mount adapter is a good idea too (saying that even if I'm 11 months late)

[@aronwills6440]

@@ouiliemedia Thanks for the response I appreciate it but I bought myself the A7IV a few months ago just looking for a lens thinking the sigma 24 - 70 f2.8 it’s a beast

[@arricammarques1955]

5D series + vintage SLR lenses with adapter. f1.4 : )

[@HewesNews]

Thanks for this. Just yesterday I turned in my Canon 70D for a 5D Mark III in excellent condition. I got a good trade-in allowance on the 70D. The 5D was selling for USD$370. Now I am back in the full-frame world, with all my wonderful legacy Canon EF lenses (including the 24-105L version 1). I had thought that my next purchase would be full-frame mirrorless, but the cost is a bit prohibitive right now, especially for lenses. For still photography the 5D Mark III is still very viable and will very nicely carry me at least a couple more years until the mirrorless market rounds out a bit. Regards, Joe.

[@arricammarques1955]

Wise choice, why mess with perfection?

[@ghpsbnhalli]

In 2 or 3 days I'm going to purchase this because it's damn cheap in olx instead of apsc i could get full frame beast .

[@KaiCreative]

Enjoy 😊 it’s a great camera 🙏

[@NSRJohn]

Thanks - interesting and informative video helps me in my choice whether or not to get one

[@ragheborfali3432]

First comment!!!! Sad Canon decided to stop making dslr's...I really like the 5d series

[@KaiCreative]

Yeah bro, such a great piece of tech! The mirrorless systems do seem to be getting better and better...

[@ragheborfali3432]

@@KaiCreative I must admit mirrorless cameras have came far in terms of battery and lens choices and performance, but I just LOVE the feeling of heavy and sturdy DSLR camera in my hands that last all day, even if my back is 😢 😭. But for me(and probably other people), the deciding factor is the price. It's just way cheaper to get a used 5dmk3 or 6d with a 70-200 than selling it all and investing in a EOS R or RP and glass...That being said, I'll probably be making the switch in the next couple years because all new innovations are being made on mirrorless setups. Especially in video.

[@lcwangee]

How is the dynamic range comparing to modern camera?

[@SmaugAltair]

Yes, I want to know how long you can film with the 5D Mark III. The 5D Mark II convinces with a good Quality of the pictures.

[@KaiCreative]

29mins 59sec cut off - then you must reset

[@SmaugAltair]

​@KaiCreative thanks. I don't know what happened to Canon when they build the 5D Mark II. It has a limit of 12 Minutes for Filming.

[@andreoliveira6688]

Great video. How is it possible to scale 1080p video to 4K on Canon 5D Mark iii? Thank you.

[@arricammarques1955]

Upscaling will not give 4K.

[@realMartinHamilton]

There's got to be a great full frame video camera with new technology out there under $1,000. Is Sony leading the market or Panasonic?

[@pekelkaHQ]

Do you suggest to change from Fujifilm X-s10 to a 5D mark 3?

[@arricammarques1955]

Depends what you prefer. If your happy with cropped sensor enjoy it.

[@shellv1219]

I have actually gotten the 5d mark iii

[@stillwaters2012]

Ok, you’ve convinced me.. I already had some L glass... so I didn’t take much convincing..

[@GraceCommunityAppalachia]

How many minutes will it run? Many only do ten minutes before shutting off.

[@KaiCreative]

29mins 59 secs 👍👍

[@diostrueno8575]

What? How does the 4k scale works?

[@crnapagoda]

they go for around ~$500, with 300k+ shutter count, in my country. would there be a better pick for $500? i had a sony a6000 with 85 1.8 i always wanted to upgrade to full-frame, but not sure if i can get sony that cheap. i'd probably pair Canon 5d mark III with either 50 or 85, at least until i save up for 70-200. what do you think?

[@Cmm474]

Can you buy on eBay internationally? I paid 820$ for a mark iii with under 20k shutter. Get the mark ii or the 5D if not. I love my mark 5D classic too. I’m keeping it for life.

[@revolucionanimallml5773]

5d mark3 and 6D mark 1 are almost the same camera, i mean the sensor is the same but the body is diferent...consider bot :)

[@KaiCreative]

Loved my original 6D 😍😃

[@tamilan7520]

[@victordelprado]

Still a good camera 🔥🔥🔥

Yes Bro! Hope you are enjoying the R6 😎

It's already 10 years? I remmeber when 5D2 was still on market. I'm there using my 5D1 I got two years ago lol.

[@T-Prime848]

Can Make A Video About The 5D Classic And The 5D Mark ii And If It’s Worth Buying One In 2022…

[@Lizerator]

Exactly what I wanted to know, thanks

[@PandieiraTrustful]

Good to washing this video✊✊👏

[@stonkr]

Just bought a 5000 shutter count 5D III for £500 to supplement my 70D. And two Lumix cameras. And an Insta360 X3 video camera. Might have too many cameras...nah...

Just bought used one✔️👍🏿

Happy shooting 📸

[@donaldgibson4459]

I still prefer the DSLR view finder for fast action, the decisive moment. I also find that the lower pixels amount is better in low light; which helps me use a lower ISO, and much faster shutter speed. I'm shooting 2 mk3 cameras, a Sony a7r4, a72, and a Fujifilm GFXr50. The Canon 5d mrk3 w/ 300mm f/2.8 lens, is my best system for photos of kiteboarding, and base jumping f/4, 3000+ shutter, ISO 200 or less. The Sony a7r4 focuses rocket fast, but at 60 megapixels isn't very good at higher shutter speeds. Sometimes I feel that the higher megapixels is more of a marketing gimmick, and not really required. Just my opinion man. Thx for the video, I plan to watch your videos often.

[@MiddlegroundWithMathew]

Great video, thank you!

How can i get a second hand 5D canon mark III ?

[@Mme.Swisstella]

Buy one?

[@jennifertilly9743]

Im new in taking videos but can u please suggest the best Memory Card to use for taking videos using a Canon 5D Mark III camera without losing frames and ensuring HD Videos? If anyone can help me with this...

[@arricammarques1955]

Major brand cards with class 10.

[@darklordmaestro6798]

better get used 5DIV than 5DIII , At least in terms of stills as well as video. 5diii doesn't even have touch controls
