Haha whoever clicks on this thread is a 5D3 addict by default!
probably, I can I only look but not buy :bsmilie:

what would be the point of a new sensor then?

Exactly... I also doubt people who had tried the camera will say so. I certainly don't think so.

Haha... No lah bro.. Thinking of buying a M8.2 to start on my RF journey. Around the same price as 5Diii so still thinking whether to buy the Leica cos it is an older technology after all compared to 5Diii. :think:

personal choice bah.. but just scared you too poisoned once you touch Leica.. and you know what's next.. M9 :bsmilie:

Chuck Westfall has a lot of great things to say of the Canon 5D3's AF system, least of all that it is superior to the professional AF system of the 1D Mark IV.
Here are excerpts taken from his interview with Arash Hazeghi (as per CR):
Here are excerpts taken from his interview with Arash Hazeghi (as per CR):
- The number and distribution of high-precision cross-type AF points has increased on the new 61-point AF system relative to the 45-point AF system used by the EOS-1D Mark IV. Moreover:
· The overall AF system speed of the EOS-1D X including lens drive is superior to that of the EOS-1D Mark IV on a lens for lens basis. The overall AF detection speed of the EOS 5D Mark III is superior to the AF detection speed of the EOS-1D Mark IV.
· The level of AF precision for 5 of the central area AF points on the 61-point sensor (i.e., the dual X-shaped cross-type points) is superior to the level of precision for any of the AF points on the 1D Mark IV.
· 21 cross-type AF points in the central area of the 61-point sensor are functional with maximum apertures as small as f/5.6; None (zero) of the cross-type points on the EOS-1D Mark IV are functional as cross-type sensors at maximum apertures smaller than f/4.
· The 61-point AF sensor has twice the low light sensitivity as the 1D Mark IV’s 45-point AF sensor (EV -2 vs. EV -1).
· The 61-point AF system supports AI Servo III, which is superior in subject tracking stability and consistency compared to AI Servo II found on the EOS-1D Mark IV.
· The 61-point AF system adds a greater degree of user control for subjects with various characteristics of acceleration and deceleration such as birds in flight.
· The 61-point AF system not only has 16 more AF points than any of the 45-point systems, it is also 20% wider in coverage (19mm vs. 15mm), making it easier for photographers to keep their subjects within the active AF area.
· The overall AF system speed of the EOS-1D X including lens drive is superior to that of the EOS-1D Mark IV on a lens for lens basis. The overall AF detection speed of the EOS 5D Mark III is superior to the AF detection speed of the EOS-1D Mark IV.

Nobody knows the exact price yet... all is rumour. However the official US price is $3499.

wah, although the 5D3 AF system (on focus detecting speed) is coming from 1DX, but it can be so superior to 1D4? 1D4 has dual processors, 5D3 only one, but albeit 1 generation more advanced. interesting.

How true... perhaps even 4 years!

Yeah was thinking about that as well man! But rumors flying that M10 comng soon also.. Damn... Photography damn expensive!

Thought of buying a M3 or M6 but seems like very troublesome to develop the films by yourself. Seems like the developing cost is a long term cost plus all the chemicals and such. Long term digital will be cheaper I think. That said.. I am itching to buy a cheap film camera just to get the feel.

Very true. I believe just spend the money and save yourself the doubts about whether you should have bought the other camera instead and forever picking on your present cam. Haha.. Happened to me a lot of times liao!
I think that combo will last at about 4 years if the 5D is going to have a 3 years cycle (looking at 5D2 -> 5D3). At least the lens will last even longer
