Shulou(Shulou.com)05/31 Report--

Hello everyone, Lin Fei to answer the above questions, 5d3 set weight, 5d3 set many people do not know, now let's take a look at it!

Should I buy Canon 5D3?

From the point of view of hardware configuration and practical performance, Canon EOS 5D Mark III uses DIGIC 5 image processor and is equipped with CMOS sensor around 3624mm. With dust removal function, support for full manual operation, effective pixels of 22.3 million, the highest resolution of 57603840, support high-definition camera.

Next, let's take a look at the precautions for buying Canon cameras.

Overview of Canon 5D3 performance

3354 although it has been on the market for two years, its performance is still outstanding.

In fact, the explanation for the excellent performance of Canon 5D3 has become a clich é, and you can find the introduction of this machine from every corner of the Internet. So today, I'm just going to talk about a few important features of Canon 5D3 to remind you of this new full-frame SLR camera.

Canon 5D3 went public in early 2012, replacing the four-year-old Canon 5D2. Compared with the old 5D2, the improvement of this machine is obvious. Canon 5D3 is equipped with a brand new 22.3 million pixel full-frame CMOS sensor. Compared with the available sensitivity of the previous generation ISO1600, the available sensitivity of Canon 5D3 is as high as ISO3200, which is a significant improvement. If the picture quality does not improve our experience, 61 autofocus and 6 shots per second continuous shooting speed will definitely kill only 9 focus points and 3.9 frames per second Canon 5D2.

Canon 5d 3 (24-105 mm) kit

Canon 5D3 (24-105mm) sets are available at Taobao dealers.

Of the 61 autofocus points in 5D3, there are 41 cross pairs, which is a very important parameter for us to require higher and higher focusing accuracy. Look at the Canon 5D2, the poor 9 focus may make us a little confused during the shooting process, and the edge focusing accuracy is also very poor. I used to use a 50mm/F1.2 lens on the 5D2, although the aperture received F1.8, but the edge focusing accuracy is very poor. But Canon 5D3 will not have this problem, edge focus is also strong.

Who shouldn't buy 5D3?

3354 if you are not a tuhao, do what you can.

Maybe some friends will not hesitate to buy such a high-performance SLR camera, but is the Canon 5D3 really suitable for everyone? I don't think so. Although the machine has excellent performance, many functions are not very practical for ordinary users, just like the function of high-speed continuous shooting. Many friends just want to have a full-frame SLR to record their lives, and the requirements for continuous shooting are not very high, so you can consider Canon 6D, which is thousands of yuan cheaper than 5D3. Both cameras use the same CMOS sensor, so you don't have to worry about the difference in image quality.

Some friends are unwilling to bring heavy things when they travel, which not only takes up a lot of backpack space, but also tests their physical strength. Friends who have such concerns had better not choose Canon 5D3. Canon 5D3 made of magnesium-aluminum alloy is more likely to become a burden for girls and the elderly. So I suggest that friends who pursue simple travel should learn more about micro-single cameras. At present, Sony A7/A7R also uses full-frame CMOS sensor, which has obvious advantages over Canon 5D3 in terms of size and weight.

Should I buy authentic or parallel imports?

3354, practical or cheap?

First of all, let's sum up: there is little difference between Canon 5D3 line water. It is recommended to buy authentic goods and only buy parallel imports with low prices.

Many people around me will ask me whether I should buy authentic cameras or parallel imports. I feel that many friends are not very clear about the concept of authentic and parallel imports. Authentic products are products directly authorized by manufacturers and sold in a certain area. Authentic goods need tariffs, and the channels are relatively complex, different levels of agents need to distribute a lot of profits, so the price is much higher than parallel imports. However, authentic products can get good after-sales service, as well as national joint guarantee and other warranty policies, which cannot be compared with parallel imports. Because of this, many people say that the extra money from the authentic product should be regarded as an official warranty. Although parallel imports do not have a nationwide warranty policy, each store will provide an in-store warranty for parallel imports they sell.

When it comes to whether Canon 5D3 should buy authentic or parallel imports, if only in theory, it has no reference value at all. Parallel imports will be cheaper, but how much cheaper can they be? On the day I wrote this article, I made an inquiry with a dealer about 5D3 goods and parallel imports. The price of 5D3 is 17900 yuan / 21600 yuan per unit and 16550 yuan / 20100 yuan for parallel imports. Through the real price, we can see that the price gap between authentic and parallel imports of Canon 5D3 is about 1400 yuan, whether it is a single machine or a set of machines. If you think the camera is sturdy and won't break for a year, you can buy a parallel import, but if you think your love function won't be safe for a year, you might as well spend more than 1000 on a practical one.

I'm sure someone will ask, apart from the price and warranty, is there any difference in the quality of the equipment itself between authentic and parallel imports? Under normal circumstances, the quality of the two kinds of goods should be the same, and the parallel import quality of some equipment is even higher than that of the authentic goods, which is probably related to the original place of sale of this kind of machine.

How to choose a new machine?

3354 three in one is unreliable. Call to check the water supply.

I believe that after reading the above text, you can already understand the difference between authentic and parallel imports. You must have made a decision in your mind. Next, let's take a look at how to choose a camera when choosing a camera. The so-called picking and picking is not our traditional choice. The camera will not be scattered all over the floor like vegetables, so we can bring home any camera that is pleasing to the eye. Today, I want to talk to you about how to check the unpacked camera. I hope it will help you buy a camera. When you buy a camera in a store, you must remember one thing: "pay after inspection" to prevent us from losing money after we get the defective products.

After we decide to buy the Canon 5D3, the waiter will bring the camera box. It must be noted that the camera box has not been opened at this time. If you find him,

Many friends will worry that they have spent money on authentic goods but bought parallel imports, so before buying a camera, everyone will certainly look up on the Internet how to distinguish between authentic and parallel imports, that is, using the camera number on the camera box to match the warranty card and the number at the bottom of the camera. If the three numbers are the same, it is genuine. However, at present, there are some Hong Kong banks and European cameras in the market that are also three-in-one, because they are also local authentic products in Hong Kong or Europe themselves, and after being shipped to the mainland for special reasons, these original authentic products have become parallel imports.

To put it this way, it is impossible to determine whether this camera is authentic in the mainland or not only through the three-in-one method, so we need to inquire about the authentic product in a more authoritative way. There will be an anti-counterfeiting label on Canon 5D3 packaging, which will have four anti-counterfeiting digits, and then we will open the anti-counterfeiting label and find that there are 16-digit anti-counterfeiting codes printed on the bottom of the label. We only need to compare the four digits on the label with the last four digits of the anti-counterfeiting code, which means that the machine is authentic from the mainland.

If you are not at ease, it doesn't matter. We can further confirm whether the Canon 5D3 is authentic by telephone inquiry. We need to use the landline to dial Canon's free inquiry number: 8008200020 (the phone number is empty). After the call is connected, we enter the 16-digit security code under the label. by comparing the number on the label with the digital and digital color feedback in the voice reply, to determine whether the purchased products are sold by Canon (China). The advantage of telephone inquiry is that you can not only find out whether the machine is authentic from the mainland, but also find out whether this security code is the first query, and if it is not the first query, this camera is also likely to be parallel imports.

[when the code is correct and the system reply for the first query] the phone voice will feedback the color of the last four digits of the security code. We only need to check with the last four digits of the security code. If the color of the security code is consistent with the color described in the phone, then you can be sure that the machine is authentic from the mainland.

[system reply when the code does not exist] the number you inquired does not exist. In order to guard against counterfeiting, please check it and re-enter it. If the number still does not exist, please call the hotline 021-38625099. Thank you for your use!

[system reply when the code has expired] this number has exceeded the validity period that can be queried, in order to guard against counterfeiting, please contact Canon customer Service Center 4006222666 for body number consultation, thank you for your use!

[verification bank parallel import method given by Canon online customer service] Hello! We recommend that you identify parallel imports in the following ways:

1. After purchase, you can make sure that the warranty card matches the machine number at the bottom of the fuselage.

2. You can check whether there are Chinese simplified instructions and Chinese simplified warranty cards in the machine package.

3. The new anti-counterfeiting sticker, pasted on the seal of the package, can be identified by observing the anti-counterfeiting logo, which is golden on the front and green on the side, and supports Android phones to download authentic Canon service software for identification.

Check dead points and noise points

-- the authentic new machine is dead, and you can go to after-sale to replace it.

When you buy a new machine, we may pay more attention to the identification of authentic parallel imports mentioned above and whether there are any defects in the appearance of the new machine, but how many friends will pay attention to the CMOS of the new machine? many friends may naturally think that there will be no problem with the new CMOS. I can only say that this idea is indeed misleading. Although it is said that each camera will have quality control before leaving the factory, it does not mean that all the CMOS of each camera is up to the standard, but how to weigh whether the CMOS is up to the standard or not, we need to use software to test the number of dead points and hot noise points, which can determine whether this CMOS is a qualified product.

Some friends may not have a very clear definition of dead point and hot noise point, so I would like to explain these two phenomena to you first. When we shoot with any sensitivity and any shutter speed, there will be a bright spot in the same position in the picture, which is the dead point (also known as the bad spot). On the other hand, we may come into contact with more hot noise points, which only appear when we use high ISO or long exposure, and the position is not fixed each time. How should we check the dead point and thermal noise when we get the new machine? On this issue, I consulted the manager of a camera dealer in Beijing, and we tested it with the method he gave us.

First of all, we need to take an all-black photo with the newly bought camera and use this photo to test the dead spot and noise. There are also some tricks in shooting. We don't have to take off the lens cap when taking pictures, and at the same time, we set the shooting mode of the camera to speed-first mode, which makes it easy for us to adjust the shutter speed according to our needs. In the choice of sensitivity, I suggest you use ISO800 or ISO1600, and the shutter speed is set to at least 1 second, after the adjustment, we can press the first shutter of the machine.

After shooting, import the photo from the memory card to the computer, the next step is to analyze this photo, and the software we often come into contact with is also the light and shadow magician. First of all, we will import the black photo just taken into the hands of Light and Shadow Magic, select the CCD dead point test in the tool, and just click OK using the default settings. We only need to wait a moment, and the Light and Shadow Magic hand can analyze the dead point and thermal noise number and position of this sensor.

The 5D3 we demonstrated this time has taken more than 50000 photos. After testing, we found that the camera currently has two dead spots and three thermal noise spots, and shows the specific location of the dead point and hot noise spot. After all, because this 5D3 will have a certain impact on the CMOS after long-term use, but the newly manufactured camera does not have more use factors. So you can directly see whether this piece of CMOS has some quality problems.

After the dead point and thermal noise test, we can directly understand the status of the sensor through the results. According to the manager mentioned earlier, the new machine is not allowed to have dead points, and there are at most three thermal noise points. If it exceeds this range, you can go directly to the Canon after-sales center to replace the new machine. From this point of view, the authentic mainland products with warranties are still a more reassuring choice, but no one wants to have problems as soon as they get their favorite phones. No, what I said today is just to give you some small details that you need to pay attention to in your purchase. Finally, when the camera box is not opened, we can see the camera number outside the box. If the number is unlucky, you can choose to change a camera, but make sure the camera seal is not opened.

[solutions to excessive dead points and thermal noise given by Canon online customer service] Hello, according to your description, you are advised to take the machine to Canon for further after-sale testing. If it is a product quality problem, you can return it within seven days. The goods will be exchanged within 15 days. Remember to bring your warranty card and invoice when you go there.

Be careful to buy second-hand cameras

It is best to have a thorough knowledge of the purchase, and the maintenance records can be checked after sale.

Since this is a comprehensive purchase guide for 5D3, we need to talk about the secondary market of Canon 5D3. At present, the supply of Canon 5D3 in the secondary market is far less than the demand. Although the machine has been on the market for nearly two years, Canon has not launched a successor to the 5D3, so consumers have no new tendency to buy. Users will not eliminate their 5D3 unless they decide to change the camera brand or cash in urgent need. For this reason, Canon 5D3 second-hand camera prices remain high, even if marked 95 new Canon 5D3 stand-alone, it will be sold to about 15000 yuan, take a closer look is still an unrepaired parallel imports, this compared to 16550 yuan of new parallel imports and there is not much competitiveness in the price. If you have been salivating over Canon 5D3 for a long time, but are still struggling to buy a brand new or second-hand phone, I suggest you buy a new one, because there is not much difference in second-hand prices.

In the matter of buying second-hand cameras, I particularly suggest that you buy a friend's camera. On the one hand, the price between friends is more reasonable, and the starting price is a little more convenient. Sometimes friends can save a lot of money by saving face. Second, friends know the degree of use of the camera, after all, personal use, not only very concerned about the camera, rarely serious bumps, and the number of shutters will not be too large, not too loud for our normal use in the future.

After we get a used 5D3, we can go to the local Canon Express repair Center for basic camera tests, and these tests are free of charge. However, we can't find out whether the machine has been repaired with only one camera after sale. we need to bring the warranty card and invoice matching with this camera to the quick repair center, and Canon will help us check the maintenance records of the machine. This also confirms the reason why genuine SLR cameras sell better than parallel imports. And some friends will say, when buying a second-hand camera to check the screws in the camera body, I can only say that the water in the maintenance market is very deep, and you can't see Zi Chou Yin Mao only from the small details of the screws.

Check the number of fast doors through software.

The software is reliable, but not all trustworthy.

When we buy a second-hand camera, apart from considering the color of the camera, there is another parameter that we are very concerned about, that is, the number of shutters that have been used. As we all know, the shutter assemblies of SLR cameras have a lifetime. The shutter life of the middle and low-end SLR is 100000 times, while the 5D3 is about 15-200000. Many friends may think that when the number of shutters of the camera reaches the theoretical value, the shutter assembly will be scrapped, which directly causes the camera to report an error and cannot take pictures, which is a very common misunderstanding.

The shutter speed of our photos taken within the theoretical value of shutter life is very accurate, and as the volume continues to increase, the shutter assembly will produce a certain degree of fatigue, resulting in that the shutter speed is not very accurate. For example, we shoot with 100 seconds, but the real shutter speed may be higher or lower than this set value, directly affecting the exposure accuracy of the photo. And under what circumstances will the shutter assembly be scrapped and report an error, there is no accurate time. Someone on the Internet has used Canon 40D to take 200000 shutter shots and can still use it. And this shutter life value of 100000, 150000 or 200000 is only a rough parameter, we must not simply look at the number of shutters to determine the quality of a camera.

So how do we check the number of shutters in Canon 5D3? it's about to use a professional software called EosMsg. Through this software, we can not only know the shutter number and serial number of the Canon 5D3, but also shoot by remote control through the software, so it seems that EosMsg is not only extremely practical, but also highly playable, so let's take a look at how this software should be used.

EosMsg this software can only be used in Windows systems, and the installation is very simple, only five minutes to complete the installation, after the successful installation of the desktop will appear an EosMsg icon, we directly open the software. Next, we set the Canon 5D3 to M file, and make sure that the lens is installed correctly (the software will exit directly if the lens is not installed), connect the 5D3 to the computer through the data cable and turn on the camera.

When the camera is turned on, EosMsg will recognize the camera at the first time, and the camera will release the shutter once. At this time, we only need to click on "camera parameters" to bring up a page where we can see not only the camera model and shutter number, but also the serial number and other parameters of the camera. Check the shutter number of our Canon 5D3 52297 times through EosMsg, so we can estimate the quality of this camera by the number of shutters. But it is said that this shutter number can be returned to zero by some means, so finally, I would like to remind you that the number of shutters queried is reliable, but not all trustworthy.

Should I buy a set or a naked machine with a lens?

No matter what you buy, it is recommended to put it in place in one step.

There must be a question for my friends here. I have decided to buy Canon 5D3, but how should I match the lens? I think 5D3 has a 24-105mm holster. What about this lens? So today I'm going to talk to you about lenses. You can choose different lenses according to your different needs, so that not only the cost is more reasonable, but also you won't find that the lenses are not enough and upgrade after buying the camera.

Canon 5D3 (24-105mm) set

Canon 5D3 (24-105mm) set

Many users choose Canon camera because Canon has a strong lens group, not only the focal length is very rich, but also the aperture varies according to the different needs of different people. First of all, we need to understand our shooting needs, if we know what photos we need to take before we can decide the type of lens. My suggestion is that no matter what purpose you buy Canon 5D3, you'd better take one step in the choice of lens, because according to my personal experience, the phrase "three generations of poor singles" is actually expensive in the price difference between selling old lenses and buying new ones. From this point of view, whether to buy a set or a bare metal directly becomes which lens is more suitable for us.

[home users]-- just be practical

When many friends buy Canon 5D3, just because they don't have a good SLR camera at home, and when they ask what they want to shoot with a camera, they just say that in order to record life, they don't want too much. This kind of friend I strongly recommend to buy a Canon 5D3 set, the 24-105mm focal range can well shoot most scenes in life, although the aperture of the head is only F4, but the built-in anti-shake component can also ensure shooting stability.

[photography enthusiasts]-- cost-effective

If you are a fan of photography, then I do not recommend that you choose the 24-105mm lens. Although this focal length covers a wide range and can shoot more material, it is often too comprehensive, and it is not good enough to find out each performance, such as 24-105mm's only F4 aperture and 24mm wide angle, which looks a bit embarrassing. So if you think you're an enthusiast, my advice is Canon 5D3 + 17-40mm/F4 + 50mm/F1.8 lens. Although you have sacrificed some telephoto focal length, you have returned to the more useful 17mm ultra-wide-angle end and 50mm large aperture. If you are obsessed with telephoto lenses, you can buy a 70-200mm/F4 lens at the right time.

Canon 50mm/F1.8 with a large aperture lens of less than 600 yuan

[photography enthusiasts who are not short of money]-- High performance

"Photography is an art that uses up, so you have to use up your own money first," he says, but in fact it is a penny for a penny, and it certainly won't hurt if the money is spent. For friends who want to spend a lot of money to play photography, my advice is absolutely not to upgrade slowly, directly buy a top match do not regret, as I said earlier, back and forth is the most expensive thing. Canon 5D3 + 16-35mm/F2.8 + 24-70mm/F2.8 II + 70-200mm/F2.8 IS II three-dimensional configuration in the next few years will not be a problem, if you are still pursuing the background virtual effect brought by a large aperture lens, then consider buying a 50mm/F1.2 lens, so that whether it is shooting wide scenery or distant things, or shooting beautiful women, it doesn't matter.

Canon Mirror King EF 24-70mm/F2.8L II has top-notch picture quality

[cheap and easy to use lens recommended]

Canon 17-40mm/F4L:5000 yuan top red circle lens, do not feel more than 5000 yuan, you have to think a little bit, after receiving the aperture of 17-40mm lens F9, the picture quality can be comparable to the 10,000-yuan 16-35mm/F2.8, which is not a very attractive thing for friends who like to shoot scenery? The second-hand price of this lens is only about 4000 yuan, and many friends bought a better lens soon, so the mobility of this lens is very strong, and the second-hand market is filled with quite a lot of super-new 17-40mm lenses. In the future, I will also teach you the skills of choosing second-hand lenses through articles.

Canon 85mm/F1.8: every time I mention this lens, there will be a wave in my heart, because the 85mm/F1.8 is the first brand new lens I bought, and when I was wondering whether to buy a 50mm/F1.4 or a 85mm/F1.8 lens, I finally chose the latter. Because the focusing speed of this lens is extremely fast and the focus is absolutely sharp, the only disadvantage is that the out-of-focus bilinear is slightly serious, but when I bought a domestic Phoenix 135mm/F2.8, I found that the bilinear severity of 85mm / F1.8 is not worth mentioning at all. You can easily shoot sugar water films at a price of about 3000 yuan. If we look at the high price of 14000 yuan of Canon 85mm/F1.2L and the focus speed like a snail, we will feel that 85mm/F1.8 is the last word.

Canon 70-200mm/F4L: I believe that those who read this article are definitely not the spendthrift tuhao, those people will not come to read the article, just buy the most expensive one, playing with the camera does cost money, but we should also learn to spend rationally. I have always been conservative about telephoto, because I feel that telephoto lenses are not very useful in daily life after all, so just buy a good one. Although the Canon 70-200mm/F4L looks one step smaller than the F2.8, there is absolutely no problem shooting outside during the day, as long as we pay more attention to the shutter speed when shooting is not too low. And the key is that this lens is light enough, and most of our friends are not professional photographers, so we don't have to travel around the world with explosive equipment on our back.

Match the lens and then match a flash.

There are reasons for being expensive, but you may not be able to use it.

In our normal thinking, the camera accessories bear the brunt of the flash, and for many people, the reason for buying the flash is that the Canon 5D3 does not have a built-in flash. But when you see the various flash models of Canon Forest, your head gets bigger instantly. Which flash is more suitable for me?

Canon 430EX II: I think this flash is the most cost-effective flash in the original factory. The price of less than 2,000 yuan is not very close to the people, and the flash index of GN43 is enough for us to use indoors and outdoors, and the original external flash with Canon 5D3 does not have to worry about compatibility at all. When 430EX II flashes, the color temperature is very accurate, while the E-TTL mode and exposure compensation can obtain very satisfactory exposure. The price of this flash in the secondary market is about 1200 yuan, but I still suggest that you buy a new Bank of China.

Canon 600EX: at present, the flagship flash in Canon's original factory, the price of 4000 yuan is not affordable to ordinary people, but the 600EX flash is very satisfactory both in terms of flash intensity and return time. 600EX's manual is as thick as a book, and I was shocked when I saw it for the first time, so it seems that this flash is very rich in functions, but most of my friends are only for the purpose of making up light when shooting, and they don't know how to study the flash in depth, so Canon 600EX is not very useful. 600EX is suitable for friends who often need flash. Other friends should consider buying it again. The 2000 yuan more 600EX than 430EX II can be invested in better lenses.

Canon 270EX II: from the number, we can see that the flash index of Canon 270EX II is only GN27, which may not be very powerful and can not cope with a variety of environments like 430EX II, but Canon 270EX II also has opportunities to display its talents. We can use this flash for simple light replenishment, and it can be used for small meetings or family gatherings, because this flash has low power and can flash directly without the need for timely flashing like 430EX II or 600EX. The price of less than a thousand yuan is also more suitable for working-class photography lovers.

Riqing DI866 MARKII: a sub-factory flash lamp that sells for only 2000 yuan but has a flash index of GN60, its performance is absolutely comparable to Canon's flagship flash 600EX, but the price is only half that of 600EX, really only half! Whether it is E-TTL photometry, high-speed shutter synchronous flash or 180-degree rotating lamp holder, it can make it easier for us to shoot in our daily life.

But it is said that the quality of this flash is not as good as that of the original factory, the return speed is not as fast as the original flash, and there are some problems with the compatibility of some products. If you don't care about these questions, then buying a Riqing DI866 MARKII is definitely the best choice. The key is that the performance of this flash is strong enough, but the price is really super cheap!

Memory card is indispensable

Canon 5D3 double card slot, don't worry about buying card money.

Canon 5D3 uses a dual card slot design, including a CF card slot and an SD card slot, which is a big improvement compared to the previous 5D2, after all, the 5D2 has only one CF card slot. The double card slot design can not only save the data to two cards during shooting, play the role of double insurance, but also avoid that the CF card slot is too minority, so that many friends can not use it, and the SD card is used more widely. I remember that one of my colleagues went to Shanghai for a meeting and went there with a 5D2. When he arrived in Shanghai, he called me. The first thing he said was that 5D2 didn't use an SD card, so he had to buy a CF memory card in the end. But this problem will not appear in Canon 5D3, whether it is CF card or SD card, we can apply to this camera.

As for the difference between the CF card and the SD card, we can first see the difference from the shape of the card. The CF card is square, and the size is not a little bigger than the SD card. Compared with the price of the SD card, the price of the CF will be slightly higher. But CF card is expensive for a reason. CF card not only has better writing speed, but also is more stable and secure than SD card. The SD card is often damaged around me. In normal use, the SD card suddenly can not work, and the data inside can not be read, but the phenomenon of CF card is basically zero. So my suggestion is that if you can use a CF card, you don't need an SD card. if you take some very important photos, it's best to load the CF card and the SD card at the same time and change the storage mode to save separately in the menu, so that the photos will be saved in both the SD card and the CF card. Even if the SD card is shot, all the data is still retained in the CF card.

Let's talk about CF card first. at present, the mainstream CF card brands are SanDisk, Rexa and Kingston. I personally do not very recommend Kingston memory cards. It is said that Kingston cards are all domestic assembly goods, and the quality is really not good. And Kingston CF card is easy to print flowers or something, but also feel a little fake. I recommend SanDisk and Rexa more than Kingston. SanDisk is a recognized memory card manufacturer, and I now have four 16G Flash CF cards without any quality problems after four years of use. Rexa belongs to the function is also more powerful, but the price is much cheaper than SanDisk, the pursuit of cost-effective friends can consider Rexa's CF card.

CF card recommendation-- mainly to take pictures > > SanDisk 8G 30M/S, Rexa 16G 30M/S

CF card recommendation-- mainly recording video > > SanDisk 16G 60M/S, SanDisk 32G 90M/S

After talking about the brand, let's take a look at the specific parameters of the CF card, including capacity and access speed. At present, CF cards are distributed according to the needs of different people, and the access speed is distributed step by step from 30M/S to 160M/S. What kind of speed CF should I buy? First of all, we have to pay attention to what we need to take, let's first talk about taking pictures. If you know a little bit about photography, you can know that the format of photos is divided into JPEG and RAW,5D3. The highest quality JPEG file is about 7-8 megabytes, while the RAW file can be up to more than 20 megabytes. If you often use RAW continuous shooting, I suggest you use a memory card above 60M/S, but if you only use JPEG, then the 30M/S memory card is enough. Users who often shoot videos have higher requirements for memory cards. My suggestion is to use 100M/S CF cards with the lowest storage speed. If the recording speed is not fast enough, the recording will stop directly. This is still quite fatal.

The size of the memory card is also selected for different users who take pictures and take pictures. Each photo is an independent file, and the picture file is relatively small compared to the video. I suggest that friends who only take pictures but not take pictures should choose to buy 8G or 16G of storage capacity, and can consider the form of multiple cards with small capacity. even if the memory card has quality problems that lead to the loss of photos, it will only lose the data in this small capacity card, if you use a large capacity card. If the card is broken, you may lose all the data. But the friend who takes the video is different from the friend who takes the photo, each file is very large, and it is troublesome to change the card, so I suggest that the friend who takes the video should at least choose a 16G memory card with storage speed of 90M/S. If conditions permit, a higher speed 32G CF card may be more ideal.

Photography users are recommended to choose SD card > > SanDisk 32G 45M/S, Sony 32G 40M/S

After talking about CF cards, let's talk about SD cards. Canon 5D3 sets SD card slots more because SD cards are cheaper for ordinary consumers, so we don't have to spend a high price on 5D3 with a CF memory card. I still maintain the above attitude in the choice of SD card. The faster the memory card is written, the better. But in the actual experience, I feel that the writing speed of the SD card can not reach the nominal speed at all. Even with the SD card of 60M/S, the writing process can not keep up with the shooting after taking more than a dozen photos in JPEG format. So you should pay more attention to this problem when using SD card. If you still want to get a very good continuous shooting experience, it is more reliable to buy a CF card.

Other accessories for Canon 5D3

Although it is dispensable, it also varies from person to person.

[vertical pat handle]

Many friends pay attention to the vertical handle, but the reason is that the camera looks more handsome and looks very much like the Canon 1 series camera. After installing the handle, how many friends have never found that there is a shutter button on the vertical handle? The role of the vertical handle is more so that we do not have to lift the forearm above the head during the vertical shot, but continue to maintain the action of the horizontal shot, which not only facilitates our shooting, but also does not affect the quality of the photo because of changing the body movement. My SLR is not equipped with a handle, but when I take too many photos a day, my wrists start to shake when I change to vertical during the horizontal shot, which will cause the photos to shake and become empty, or maybe it's because I haven't practiced the iron arm yet.

Domestic product color E11 handle

Should I buy a vertical handle from the original factory or a deputy factory? The original factory handle is easily 2000 yuan, while the domestic handle is only a few hundred yuan. There must be a reason for the difference of so much money. The shutter keys of the original factory handle feel more comfortable, the half-press and full-press of the shutter feel very obvious, while the buttons of the domestic handle are relatively stiff, whether the key range or feel may be more obvious with the original handle. So if you only want to have a vertical handle to use, then it is enough to buy a domestic handle with a very high performance-to-price ratio; suppose you have a very high demand for the touch of pressing the shutter and pursue that full pleasure. Or steadily spend more than a thousand original factory handles, even if you buy a domestic handle, it is estimated that you will be bored in less than a few days.

[lens filter]

After matching the camera with the lens, the next question arises, which kind of lens filter should we buy for our lens? First of all, we need to have a preliminary understanding of our own lens, and we should pay attention to the caliber of the lens filter. Only by knowing the caliber of the lens filter can we buy filters of different sizes according to the caliber.

UV mirror

UV lens should be a kind of filter that everyone listens to the most. When buying a lens, the shop assistant should recommend a filter to everyone, and the reason is that UV lens can protect the lens. UV mirror is actually an ultraviolet filter, in the film era, the role of UV mirror is far more than the protection of the lens, because too much ultraviolet radiation in the environment will affect the image quality, but as digital cameras occupy our lives, electronic photosensitive elements are no longer so sensitive to ultraviolet rays, so UV mirrors gradually lose the function of ultraviolet filtering. Everyone loves their lenses and cannot tolerate a little dust and fingerprints on their lenses, so they will buy a UV mirror for lens protection. after all, it is much easier to clean UV lenses than to clean lens lenses.

But we must not think that we can buy a UV mirror casually, if the coating of the UV mirror is not good, it will also seriously affect the picture quality, not only in the night shooting will be more likely to appear ghost phenomenon, but also in the backlight shooting can not focus the situation. So how to tell the quality of UV mirror? We only need to point the UV mirror in our hand to the light, and if there are green and pink reflections on the lens, it means the coating is very good. If there is no reflection of any color, it means it is just a piece of glass with no coating on it. I do not highly recommend using this kind of uncoated UV mirror, this kind of UV mirror can have a very serious impact on shooting.

Top quality, Baugh W multilayer coated UV mirror (52mm-77mm)

High performance-to-price ratio, Kengao multilayer coated UV mirror (30mm-82mm)

At present, well-known UV mirror manufacturers include Kengao, Bogu and Bogu. Kengao and Baogudan are higher in terms of performance-price ratio. the multi-film UV of these two manufacturers varies from 100 to 200 yuan according to their caliber. This kind of accessories had better be bought from e-commerce websites, and the prices in stores are often higher, because the profit of the camera itself is not high, so we can only start from accessories. After all, we don't know much about the price of accessories, so we can kill one.

If you have an ultra-wide-angle lens in your hand, the choice of UV lens should be more careful. If the UV lens is too thick, there will be a serious dark angle during shooting, so you can pay attention to Kengal's PRO1D UV mirror, which has an ultra-thin design and can be used in ultra-wide-angle lenses without dark angles. If you pay more attention to the quality of the filter, you might as well consider the German-made BathW, the coating is more virtuous and the small gold ring design is more stylish.

Medium gray mirror

I believe that friends who like to take portraits will have a very good large-aperture fixed-focus lens, because the large-aperture lens can get a very good virtual effect of the background, which can make the portrait photos more layered. But at the same time, there is a problem, on the premise of the same sensitivity, the use of a large aperture will make the shutter speed faster, while even a very good full-frame SLR camera, the shutter speed can only reach 1 inch 8000 seconds. If you take a picture at noon when the sun is very abundant, even if the lowest sensitivity is used, the photo will be obviously overexposed when the aperture is increased, because the shutter speed cannot be faster than 8000 seconds. At this time, the gray mirror will come in handy, the medium gray mirror can reduce the amount of light, as a result, it can reduce the shutter speed and shoot with a large aperture on a sunny day.

The medium gray mirror can not only play a very obvious role in portrait shooting, but also very useful in shooting scenery. When we shoot the current, we need to reduce the shutter speed in order to achieve the foggy effect, but because the external light is too strong, even reducing the aperture to the slowest can not meet our requirements, so you should use a gray mirror to reduce the shutter speed. At present, the model of gray mirror in the mainstream is that the gray mirror in ND-4,ND-4 can filter out the light of 3x4, and in the end, only one gray mirror can reach the sensor of 5D3 through the gray mirror. A word of reminder, when you come back to the house after taking a picture outside, you must remember to take off the gray mirror, or it will affect the indoor shooting effect because the shutter speed is too slow.

Polarizer

Whenever I see those blue skies and marshmallow clouds on the Internet, many friends will exclaim that they are too beautiful and wonder why they can't take such pictures. Is it because the cameras in their hands are not high-end enough? Then you will plan to buy a new camera, so I will tell you that it is not because of the camera, but because you do not think of the power of the polarizer. Polarizers can filter out excess light, making the sky bluer. We need to rotate manually when we use the polarizer, and when we observe from the viewfinder that the sky is bluer than usual, the polarizer works.

Essential filter for landscape, Kengo circular polarizer (55mm-82mm)

Polarizer is not only used to shoot scenery, we also have a problem when we take pictures. When shooting a mirror object, whether it is a mobile phone screen or a computer screen, there will be a relatively obvious reflection phenomenon. Then we can use the polarizer to eliminate this part of the reflected light. The method of operation is the same as mentioned above, rotate the lens in front of the polarizer, observe the screen in the viewfinder, and when you find that the reflected light is gone, you will be able to shoot, which will be troublesome at the beginning of use, but it will be very simple and fast to get used to it.

[backup battery]

Official figures from Canon 5D3 say the plane can take up to about 950 photos with a viewfinder at 23 ℃, which is enough for many friends, but up to 200 pictures can be taken by an original battery if real-time viewfinder mode is turned on. If we are worried about the lack of power in the camera, we can consider buying one or two spare batteries. Should we buy a home-made battery or an original one? Let's move on.

Canon original battery LP-E6

Pinsheng LP-E6 lithium battery

First, let's take a look at the prices of the two types of batteries. The domestic battery is less than 100 yuan while the original battery is more than 200 yuan. Is it worth buying the original battery at half the price difference? I do not think it is necessary to buy the original battery pool. I recall that when Canon 5D3 just came on the market, in order to ensure the sales of the original battery, the battery of the deputy factory could not identify the power margin, and the words "battery can not communicate normally" appeared when the battery was turned on. Although the battery can be used, I can't see that the power margin is still uncertain in my heart.

At this time, we have to praise our domestic manufacturers, they are not afraid of hardships, and finally solved the battery communication problem, so that domestic batteries can also show the power. What makes me feel that there is a big difference between the domestic battery and the original battery is that the battery is still not strong enough in terms of self-discharge. if the battery is kept for a month, the domestic battery may be almost dead, while the original battery can retain half or more of its power. For those of us who have chargers, it's not a big deal at all. I would like to say that domestic batteries can be charged on Canon's original chargers, or you can choose and buy domestic chargers to charge. but you must not use domestic chargers to charge the original batteries! I have tried this several times, although the original battery is fully charged, but the camera will show that the battery is low, our original battery should be used on the original charger.

Purchase camera bags according to the quantity of equipment

Photography bags are cheap, and protection is the most important.

Many friends will always bargain with the store when buying a camera, hoping it will be cheaper, but 99.9999% of the shops will never cut your price. The only way to solve this problem is to send a camera bag. But I think the camera bag sent by the camera store is really not very reliable. Instead of using an unreliable camera bag to worry about being hit by the camera every day, it is better not to use this camera bag and buy an excellent camera bag directly. It will not be a problem to use it for several years.

Carrying a camera bag on one shoulder can also hold a computer, Lechibao CompuDay Photo 150

In the choice of camera bags, I suggest you pay more attention to the three brands of Lezibao, Kata and Tianyu, which are more friendly to the people than Buckingham and National Geographic. Although the appearance is not ostentatious enough, it must be said that the protective performance of the three brands, such as Le Shibao, is still very excellent, whether it is a soft and hard moderate camera bag, a multi-functional rain shield or an excellent carrying performance. make the camera bag worth about a thousand yuan more cost-effective.

If we want to buy a camera bag that is more suitable for us, we need to know more about our own body and lens, and don't forget the number of flashlights. After calculating all the numbers, we can choose the camera bag. If you have a small number of lenses and one lens or two lenses in a fuselage, you can not only choose a more stylish one-shouldered camera bag, but also pay attention to a more comfortable backpack. The space on the shoulder is larger, but the disadvantage is that the camera bag is too large, which makes it a little cumbersome to travel or go out, but the advantage of the backpack is not only that the internal space is large enough, but also more comfortable to carry, even if carried for a long time, there will not be too much discomfort.

The shoulder backpack is more comfortable, the Australian savage shoulder camera bag

Compared with the portable travel of one machine and one mirror, the configuration of one machine with three mirrors or four mirrors is more difficult to carry, so we need to buy larger backpacks according to the number of devices. If you configure a handle for your own 5D3, it is best to consult customer service whether the 5D3 with the handle can be placed vertically. If it cannot be put down vertically, it can only be tiled into the bag, which will seriously affect the loading of other devices in the camera bag.

I remember that when I bought a camera bag several times ago, I would pay attention to the price of the camera bag first. at that time, my psychological price was a few hundred yuan, and I thought that the camera bag could hold things as well as the schoolbag. Even if my friends have been transmitting the camera bag to me to include excellent protection, I turned a deaf ear at that time. I only thought price was the king. Until one time I went out to take pictures, the strap of the camera bag suddenly broke and the camera bag fell to the ground. Fortunately, the UV mirror with only one lens cracked, and there was nothing wrong with the camera and lens. From then on, I decided to buy a more reliable camera bag.

My equipment at that time was Canon 5D2 + 16-35L + 50mm/1.4 + Baiwei, and I thought that I would often go out to shoot, and the computer was essential equipment. I chose Lechibao Pro Runner 350AW and Tianyu Kata KT PL-B-220 bumblebee. Finally, I felt more comfortable when I tried it on my back. Finally, I bought a backpack for less than $2000. As for the sense of carrying varies from person to person, my suggestion is that unlike every camera, the bag needs to experience the carrying system of the bag, and the decision of the bag is more subjective.

How to purchase professional camera accessories

The main function of camera accessories is to prevent shaking.

Canon 5D3's video function is very powerful, after all, the machine is equipped with a full-frame CMOS sensor, so neither high-quality nor depth-of-field processing can be compared with ordinary cameras. And 5D3 shooting video also has two points not as good as the camera, the first is the anti-shake effect, after all, the camera sensor is relatively small, want to be a sensor anti-shake is very easy, but look at the larger area of full-frame CMOS sensor, it is very difficult to deal with anti-shake. The second drawback is that the SLR camera has poor focusing ability during shooting, so you can only rely on manual focus, so if you want to build your 5D3 into a professional camera tool, anti-shake and tracking are two problems that must be solved.

Cost-effective video tripod Weifeng 717

First of all, let's talk about anti-shaking. According to the different themes we shoot, we choose different accessories. If you often shoot some fixed scenes and do not need to move often, then a tripod with good performance will not be very suitable, the material of the tripod is not important, the only thing we care about is stability. There are also some professional video teams around me who will think that the lighter carbon fiber tripod is really unstable. Instead of using this portable tripod, it is better to use an ordinary tripod that is heavier but more stable. Here, I would like to recommend a video tripod with super cost performance-Weifeng 717. Although this tripod is very heavy, it will feel very stable when you use it. Many video teams will choose this tripod.

If your subject is more focused on moving objects, a fixed tripod may not be your type. I don't know if you have ever tried to shoot while walking with a Canon 5D3, and the final video must be very shaky, so at this time you need a stabilizer to help you complete the idea of mobile shooting. The price of the stabilizer ranges from a few hundred yuan to a few thousand yuan. if you are a family user, a few hundred yuan stabilizer is enough, although the effect is certainly not as good as the high-price stabilizer, but for family users who have no special needs, this is enough to meet the normal shooting requirements. Don't worry about money for professional users, buy the most expensive stabilizer you can afford, whether it's an entry-level stabilizer or a high-end stabilizer, be sure to practice when you first come into contact.

After talking about how to prevent shaking, let's talk about how to focus. The previous article mentioned that one of the shortcomings of Canon 5D3 in video is that it can't follow focus automatically, so we have to follow focus manually when shooting video, but the disadvantage of manual tracking is that the precision is not high, and even if it has been tested, the angle that should be twisted is not easy to control. So we need a focus follower, which can make the focus tracking process smoother and more accurate. We don't have to consider the wrong direction of the lens at all, because there are only far and near options on the focus follower, and we only need to operate through our own intuitive feeling.

Through the above text, I believe you have a comprehensive understanding and understanding of Canon 5D3. At present, the performance of Canon 5D3 still belongs to the first-class level, and after the ups and downs of the market, the price has become stable, so the current purchase is a very good time. Canon 5D was launched in 2005, Canon 5D2 was launched three years later, and 5D3 surfaced four years later. Judging from this pace, Canon 5D4 should not have much movement in two years. A friend of mine is very tragic. he bought the 5D and sold the 5D2, and the 5D3 went on the market just after changing the 5D2, so don't repeat the same mistake and decide to do it as soon as possible. in the end, hesitation is just a waste of time playing with the camera.

At the end of this article, I hope it will be helpful to you.
