2012-03-02
hi I'm Lori green and senior editor cnet here with a brief overview of long awaited canoneos5dmarkii 3 the new sensor has vastly improved specs for both still in video need 18 megapixels it doesn't go overboard with the resolution and yippee the viewfinder now has a hundred percent coverage plus the camera inherits all the processing capabilities from the digit 5 plus which debuted with one DX physically the camera hasn't changed much from the 5d mark two and feels the same to hold though it's been updated with modern touches that can in his evolved since the camera was released more than three years ago notably it's got improved Dustin weather sealing a locking mode dial i'll be at the locking design from the 60d which i don't really like and a 70 like control for live un movies in addition to a comparison playback view there's a dedicated button for rating photos the control dial now serves as a touch pad for silent operation during movie shooting plus it has a compact flash in SD card slot but you still can't share settings across bodies which is annoying the menu system is just like that of the 1dx extremely broad and deep with tons of options like the extreme customizability of the AF system and AF tracking sensitivity there's tons more but you'll have to read instead of watch to find out
