Meanwhile, the price of Canon 5D Mark lll has also been revealed, with the bare machine priced at $4200 and the version with Canon EF 24-70mm F2.8L II USM lens priced at $6799.95. The price seems to be a little bit high. But compared with its high end configuration, this Canon 5D Mark lll is worthy of this price.

For camera or camcorder users, one problem existing is that the videos shot by the camera or camcorder could not be played back on all media players, or it is quite troublesome for users to edit videos and images in various video editing software programs when people want to upload their recorded videos to blogs or online video sharing sites for unlimited sharing. Even though your Canon 5D Mark lll supports AVI, RAW, H.264, MOV, MPEG-4, etc. different media players own different video codec, which may result in playback failure. In such case, a Video Converter (Mac users could use the Camera Video Converter for Mac) that could easily convert Canon 5D Mark lll videos to video in other file formats and enable you to change output video and audio codec would be of great help. Check how to convert camera/camcorder recorded videos to other video file formats for various media players and you will be able to freely view your recorded videos and images on media players you have as you like.
