We are very happy to be going into our 2012 wedding season with the new amazing Canon 5D mkIII.  For wedding photographers who shoot in the photojournalistic style such as Doris and myself, the 5D mkIII with it’s high ISO standards is the best tool on the market.  This year I will be capturing weddings with Canon’s top two professional level cameras in the 1D mkIV and the 5D mkIII.  Doris has also moved up in the camera world, but choosing to go with the Pentax K5, the best in Pentax’s Professional line-up.  Some of you who I have already shot your engagement session this year have seen Doris’s new Pentax K5’s as I have been shooting all engagement sessions with them.  I’ll hold off on going into my own details about the 5D mkIII and let you review Canon’s write up.

Canon’s 5D mkIII Overview

The Power to Create.
Canon is proud to present the highly anticipated EOS 5D Mark III. With supercharged EOS performance and stunning full frame, high-resolution image capture, the EOS 5D Mark III is designed to perform. Special optical technologies like the 61-Point High Density Reticular AF and an extended ISO range of 100-25600 (expandable to 50 (L), 51200 (H1) and 102400 (H2) make the EOS 5D Mark III ideal for shooting weddings in the studio or out in the field, and great for still photography. Advanced professional-level high definition video capabilities (that includes a host of industry-standard recording protocols and enhanced performance) make it possible to capture beautiful cinematic movies in EOS HD quality. A newly designed 22.3 Megapixel full-frame Canon CMOS sensor, Canon DIGIC 5+ Image Processor, and shooting performance up to 6.0 fps provide exceptional clarity and sharpness, even when capturing rapidly-unfolding scenes. Additional technological advancements include an Intelligent Viewfinder, Canon’s advanced iFCL metering system, High Dynamic Range (HDR), and Multiple Exposure mode — all of which that help make the EOS 5D Mark III the perfect multimedia tool.

 Well now that the 2010 wedding season is over and we have wrapped up with all the Wedding Day Storybooks, Doris and I set down last night to see what was the most asked question throughout the year.  (yes we do keep note of the questions ask by our clients. Help’s us to improve our business for you.) You won’t believe it, but the most ask question this year was about GEAR…   This is great! Doris and I have been trying to get the word out to bride and grooms to ask the photographer about the gear he or she will be using to capture their wedding.  It really is important.  So we are pleased to see more clients asking us about our gear.  One that note, I would like to add a blog page of “What’s in our bags”.
