Re: Catechism 5d mark 3 with 140.000 shutter count worth information technology ?
ane
I have a friend who works in research for camera technology. He claims that his test prove the shutter can become way over the estimation and commonly does. Because of this, he gets cameras very cheap because he doesn’t care what the shutter count is.
I’d say that thing volition get a long time. I accept pictures a good bit and my shutter count doesn’t go upward each twelvemonth as much as I thought it would in my head.
It’s even possible the shutter doesn’t fail 10 years from now. But it’due south also possible information technology does, which is why Canon does their examination and puts their number on at that place.
I personally would go for the 6D. I have owned the 5D Mark three and 6D, the 6D is lighter, the focus point seems way faster, especially if you got a good lens. Focus and recompose isn’t an issue for portraits, anything past 50mm, fifty-fifty at two.eight I’ve done test of focusing and recomposing vs having the focus point correct on the discipline and fifty-fifty at 1:1 I can barely tell a difference, usually I tin’t tell a deviation. When I can, information technology’s nonetheless really razor abrupt. Of course I’m using a sharp lens also.
2 carte du jour slots is nice, but that’s something new actually. Fifty-fifty the 5D Mark ii didn’t accept two carte du jour slots. We shot weddings, music videos, indie films, etc with the 5D Mark two earlier the 5D mark 3 came out. When I had the 5D Marking iii I inappreciably ever kept the other card in there.
Information technology is overnice to take…. But I’d rather take one card slot and accept a new camera. The focusing points are dainty to have, but it’s not every bit big of a bargain as you might think. Fifty-fifty with tracking.
I thought it was a big bargain and the internet had hyped it upwardly and I was convinced I needed to go alee and buy another 5D Mark three.
I concluded up testing a friends 5d Marker iii against my 6D and could clearly see it wasn’t worth getting another 5D Mark iii. I wish I would accept never sold information technology, notwithstanding I’grand finding I similar the 6D more than in a lot of ways, lighter, the ISO seems to exist a hair better, the wifi tethering on photoshoots, I shoot raw, but I go a full size jpeg preview on my iPad pro which has a 13 inch screen without using USB extension cables and pulling out a macbook.
Information technology’s lite on landscape shoots while on the tripod over my shoulder. The 24-70 2.8 2 is likewise lighter than the previous 24-seventy I used to take.
You tin put a slap-up 50 on a 6D and you won’t fifty-fifty experience information technology, you can conduct it everywhere you go. The 5D doesn’t look like it weighs much more on paper merely when yous experience information technology, it feels more hefty.
