In addition to being an improved version of the Canon II C, the III had a shutter curtain which remained at a fixed position even after the film was advanced. This became a status symbol for high-end 35mm cameras and allowed a fast shutter speed of 1/1000 sec.
The exterior finish was top-notch with optimized metal, high-precision machining, further standardization of parts precision, improved paint finish and plating, and synthetic leather.
