Canon 5D Mark III Rental

Canon EOS Mark III overview

The Canon EOS 5D Mark III is the latest addition to the Canon EOS 5D family. Saturnalia Productions offers Canon 5D Mark III rental to our clients in Los Angeles and abroad.

Like the Mark II, the Canon EOS 5D Mark III camera allows the user to capture 1920 x 1080 video. Although the Canon 5D Mark II democratized the ability to record video with a shallow depth of field, due to the size of its image sensor and use of interchangale 35mm lenses, professional videographers had some issues with its use in the field. Canon listened and built the Canon 5D Mark III camera, featuring improved recording time (up to 30 minutes), increased sensitivity to 102,400 ISO and a 1.04M pixel 3.2" LCD.
