The Power to Create

The fans have been waiting long enough.  The next power player in Canon's lineup has been announced:

Presenting the "popular before it was even announced" Canon EOS 5D Mark III!

This impressive new camera improves on an already successful and effective system.  The 5D Mark II was a landmark camera for Canon with its high-ISO, low noise capabilities and hi-res 1080p video recording.  For a while, there really was no equal to the 5D Mark II.  Improving on that system seemed like it would be hard to do, but Canon has done it.

With the inclusion of the 61-point AF system (the same system that's being included in the 1D X), the 5D Mark III promises to be a precise tool for the most demanding photographer.  And having its frame rate bumped up from 3.9 to 6.0 means that capturing the precise moment just got a whole lot easier.

Expected to launch by the end of March, this camera is likely to fly out of inventory before it even has the chance to see a shelf.  As with all new SLR launches, Lighthaus Camera is already taking pre-orders for the 5D Mark III, and trade-ins are always welcome!  Please call or stop by your local Lighthaus Camera location for more info on how to get your hands on one!
