The Canon EOS 5D Mark III is a professional-grade 22.1 megapixel full-frame digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) camera made by Canon.
Succeeding the EOS 5D Mark II, the Mark III was announced on 2 March 2012.[5] This date coincided with the 25th anniversary of the announcement of the first camera in the EOS line, the EOS 650, and was also Canon's 75th anniversary.[6] The Mark III went on sale later in March with a retail price of $3,499 in the US, £2999 in the UK, and €3569 in the Eurozone.[7]
On 25 August 2016, Canon announced the camera's successor, the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV.[3]
