Limitations
The Canon EOS 5D Mark III is relatively bulky and heavy compared to more compact digital cameras, which may impact portability and ease of handheld use over extended periods. The camera does not include built-in Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity, limiting wireless transfer and remote control options. Autofocus performance in live view mode is slower compared to phase-detection AF available in the viewfinder. The absence of a touchscreen interface restricts navigation and focus point selection convenience. While the buffer depth is suitable, it can fill quickly when shooting in RAW continuous burst mode. Battery life, though sufficient for many shoots, can be limiting for very long sessions without spare batteries.
