Haha bro decided to keep your 5Diii? Good camera just succumb to temptation bah... Resistance is futile.. Haha...

haha i have to say i went through 2 difficult phase.

i started out looking for a ff camera.

5dc was one of the cams i was looking into. but its missing quite abit of features compared to 5dm2.

thus i set on getting 5dm2. the pricing is pretty decent too, 2.6k for grays.

was about to order one when i chanced upon the release date of 5dm3. i was thinking hmm, should I wait? should I get 5dm3?

it took me quite a while to decide to go for 5dm3.

but when I really bought it, I undergone the second phase. to sell or not to sell?

haha, my friend wasnt a very good influence as he wanted to sell his.

and yes. finally decided to use it for good. =D

yes it was an awesome camera. but its hard for me to know how it was compared to the previous model 5dm2 since my previous one was a 500d.

no doubt it was a world of difference to me.

using the same 28mm f1.8 lens, i was able to take a much sharper picture.
 

at sgd83 is still cheaper than local stores.

yeap ordering 2 from amazon. plus 2 cf card.

wasnt able to find a pricing on the transcend 32gb cf card. hope i din buy too ex. loll

should cost me around 87sgd for 1 cf card.

having used a 1series (sold) and 5d2, i would say the dual card slot is very useful. also the 61pts helps against the 9pts AF when shooting at f1.2 if u use the focus-shift compose method. another thing is the 6fps at least is better than 3fps (even though no where near to current 1series)

i missed out the previous sandisk promo, 2 cards for the price of 1 card.
btw, i got the LPE6 from B&H for ~sgd90 last time.

Transcend local shop carrying should be bizgram and memory world. Generally I think cf is cheaper or about same price if you buy from correct shop in sls.
 

Hi guys, i have been eagerly waiting for the launch of the 5d3... But my friend who recently had a chance to try out the camera told me that it is rather disappointing.. The noise control is not as good as it seems??

Im not here to flame the 5d3 but looking to hear more positive reviews from the users and view sample images if possible, to reaffirm my consideration to purchase this long awaited camera

how good is considered good for noise control? it is definitely better than the 1D Mk III. i sold mine to get this cam. it is better than the d800 from nikon. probably can be better but whats the benchmark? D4 or 1DX?
 

Hi there all. Anyone experience the viewfinder numbers are blur? Is there something I did wrong with the settings?

Thats great cause im in a similar situation as you. Planning to sell my 1d3 for the 5d3. Just hesitant whether its a good move

Rotate the diopter wheel on the side of the viewfinder.

How many stops is the 5d3 better than the 1d3 in high iso?

Completely usable images at max ISO, good enough for me.
 

bored at home with nothing to shoot :(

abt 3-4 stops useable iso. i did a shoot at 3200 iso today. normally i wont touch more than 800 if its being published.

yup! gonna have sd and cf cards in my cam.

i missed out the previous sandisk promo, 2 cards for the price of 1 card.
