here's a random shot done on ISO12800 on 50L. Was walking around with that ISO and testing corner AF points on 50L at the same time.

Was surprised at the quality:

At this rate soon we will be shooting at ISO 1 Million, 2M, 4M, etc.

most likely not.. the popular shops should have been emptied by now. you probably have better luck trying places like lucky plaza or less popular places, or just go RRP retailers.

BTW, you can try Southern Cross @ Lucky Plaza to see if they have stock. Pricing may not be that competitive, but I bought my BG-E6 from there, price was slightly better than the expensive Cathay Photo.

And they do not charge you extra when you pay by credit card, just like CP.

hehe.

Ok sure! Thanks for the heads up bro! Actually no hurry lah for me. I will wait for the new stock to come out and hopefully any bugs that might surface would be resolved by then. Hehe... You guys are my guinea pigs!!!

ISO1M.. if there's a considerably clean ISO1M, maybe a few decades time? even so, at such crazy high ISO, the light signal:noise signal ratio would be so close to render the image useless, I believe there's a limit how much ISO can be raised.. :dunno:

Anyone using 3rd part flash with 5d3? My nissin 622 totally cannot trigger in ttl. In manual mode, it can trigger, but cannot sync with camera, so it doesn't capture the flash...

I dun have problem using 5d3 with my nissin 622 mkii

Oh yea bros who own the 5D3, do you guys feel that 5D3 is more battery draining than 5D2?

Somehow, I notice that my battery depletes faster than 5D2. And no, both my original LP-E6 are new ones, just in case you are wondering if my battery is aging

Interesting read. Soon we won't need IS lenses.

Interesting read indeed. if the 10X improvement is coming, and we can obtain 5D3's image quality of ISO6400 at ISO64000, then IS may really become history.

I never owned a Mk2 so i dunno how that performs..
But i owned a 60D and yes the Mk3 batt dies alot faster.
Well, more processing, more features and definately that bigger and brighter screen..can't possible have same batt life.
In fact, the mk3 is only rathed to shoot about 800shots per charge? That's rather low..
I never had the need to change batt last time but i think this cam…need to liao..lucky i got 4 spares...

Hi, would like to check if any of the 5D3 users would stick a 3rd Party Battery into their new 5D3. If yes, which brand would you recommend and where can I get it?

Have read this, but no 5D3 users there.
http://www.clubsnap.com/forums/canon/1052345-buy-good-trustworthy-3rd-party-battery-singapore.html

My main concern is will the 3rd Party Battery suddenly give out too high a current that will short circuit the camera's electricals?
Not so bothered about the 3rd Party Battery exploding in the charger or suddenly dying?

I was told that LP-E6 has a chip inside and will continue to work if Canon upgrades the firmware. The 3rd party ones also have a chip but if you upgrade the firmware later, the battery may no longer work? Is this true?

Thanks in advance for your input.
