Comment:

The increase in resolution is insignificant, but in everything else, this sensor is a huge step forward compared to its predecessor in the 5D Mark II. Color range is still a weakness, but the combination of good image quality across a wide ISO range, high resolution and reasonably fast readout speed makes the 5D Mark III a great allround camera and a worthy recipient of our #1 Travel Camera Badge.
