D III. Canon opted for only a small increase in megapixel count to maximize image quality along with delivering the. DSLR of 6 frames per second. The Canon EOS 5. D Mark III is the first full frame camera utilizing gapless microlens technology to hit the streets. D X was the first announced full frame DSLR with this technology. Gapless micro lenses insure that all light reaching the sensor is directed into a pixel well. A new photodiode structure also improves the photoelectric conversion rate. This of course all equates to better image quality. After spending a huge number of hours evaluating the 5. D IIIs image quality, I determined that. Canon Digital Photo Pro software version 3. While 5. D III RAW files were shown very sharp in the DPP Quick View window, the same files were noticeably softer when displayed in the Edit window. TIFF files.

This test gets us as close as possible to the image quality delivered directly by the sensor. With the 5. D III, Canon promised an about 2 stop advantage over the 5. D II and has said that much of this improvement is due to sensor design improvements. Obviously, the 5. D III has two higher ISO settings available than the 5. D II does, but.
