Introduced in 2012, the 5D Mark III is a 22.3-megapixel full-frame DSLR. Its combination of resolution, 6 frames-per-second continuous shooting, and weather sealing made it one of the most widely adopted cameras among professional fashion, editorial, and documentary photographers of the 2010s.
“Crewdson's production team uses Canon digital cameras among the multiple cameras deployed on each shoot; his cinematographer Richard Sands has discussed the use of Canon full-frame digital bodies alongside large-format equipment in interviews about the production of "Beneath the Roses" and "Cathedral of the Pines" (2014).”
