My 5D MK III thread.

i'd like to see some shots at ISO 12800 and 25600

I was hoping to share some concert shots but that didn't work out... so here is a little snap shot at ISO 25 600

Best camera comparison ever?

I thought it was hilarious. Though them smashing the 5dIII made me cringe!!!

Yeah! I'm sure it was a dummy 5D. I love real world reviews like that one.

So a few more snap shots. Nothing that is really taking advantage of the new features of the camera except the in camera HDR processing.

Auto HDR (Art Vivid)

Nick, congrats on new toy. i was toying with the idea but after having invested many Ks into my high end system i cannot explain to my wife why i need a camera like this. :-(
bloody darn good DSLR but Canon went out of their mind appointing a price tag over 3k euros for Europe, i hoped it would be some 2.5K max but... so i took mint 1Dmk3 instead, not FF but crop factor small compared to 1.6..... of course i will miss new gimmicks but may be next year i add FF to my collection. :-)))

love photos, post more results. seems in camera HDR is not so bad after all? do you think Canon HDR + PP can replace GND?

[Gintaras]

Nick, thanks for posting Nikon vs Canon video....... Had some loud laughs and emailed to my friends. But seriously it looks Canon finally pulled a champion camera, high on my list if i decide to upgrade in future. Seems IQ, ISO, Ai and AF just superb, i am not sure if i can understand why Nikon praised for deeper color while in photos i can hardly distnguish. So post more your experience and photos and happy shooting.

Again LOL rewatching that video.

Nicely done Nick. I shot an event with a borrowed 1D X last week - which operationally is now quite similar to the 5D Mark III. I concur the flexibility in customisation is a big drawcard.

1D X is now shipping in numbers here in Aus as of this week (my dealer called me today to see if I wanted one), for now though I think I'll grab the 5D Mark III - as it's now very much a 'mini 1D' and is half the price. I need a camera for the weekend, and I sold my Mark II a while ago. Time to buy.

One little gripe I have is with the AF system - I really miss having the ability to select only the outer ring of nine AF points tied to the rear wheel. It's so much faster then the multi-controller.

Also, I think I would find more use for a true ISO 50 than 25,600 - but that's just me.
