OFFICIAL: CANON EOS 5D Mark III - User Thread - Part 3

[Alexander4965]

Owww didnt knew third party one comes out that fast, gotten the original grip ~ Pocket burned a hole ~ Third party around 200+?

 

[alux0417]

Thanks for sharing the peeks. I just noticed that the on/off switch is in a different place than the original?

And does the AA battery magazine come with a pouch too?

feEL like selling off my canon and getting a 3rd party one

I ordered the Pixel one from ebay…looks like the stocks came to SG stores faster than online
It's still OTW…however, from ebay i paid <SGD110, which is about $40 cheaper than locally but got to wait…if i had know SG would have before ebay, i wouldn't have bothered to buy from ebay..

Does a local third party set have warranty? If not still makes more sense to buy from eBay. $40 is a lot considering that it works out to more than 30% premium over the price u paid. Unless you nd it urgently...

AWF says that they will provide a six month warranty on mine. Not that it really matters much to me anyway.

Pixel didn't provide a pouch for the additional tray but that's just trivial IMHO. Also, the on/off switch's location on the Pixel one makes a lot more sense than the Canon's.

I find the nifty fifty to be a good lens to use as a walkaround. It makes the MkIII a very discreet camera that I can just shove into my small sling bag quickly, without a strap, of course.

awaiting more review of 3rd party grip, I missed the vertical grip after using 1-series for 5 years!


wonder if it is possible for 3rd party to build a grip with build-in GPS?

That's a great idea! I hope that 3rd party manufacturers and Canon are listening!

While we're on the topic it would also be nice to have a cumulative shutter counter for the life of the camera in the next firmware update. I don't understand why Canon does not offer this.... its a very simple idea and would be used universally. It's not like they can't do it...

Hi bros,

Can I asked if anyone bought a cf to sd adapter for 5d mk3? anyone knows where to get it?

 

[NotCooked]

sd to cf you mean? but 5d mark III has an sd slot so theres no need to use an adapter unless you only have sd cards

 

[babypoo]

yeah i only have sd cards..anyone knows where to get it?

 

[raydio]

The 5D3 has both a CF and a SD slot. You can fill both slots simultaneously or individually with their respective cards. Maybe I'm not understanding your question, but I wondering why you would need an adapter.

Could be continuous numbering on your memory card.

Run EOSCount.com for more accurate shutter actuation.

[uenuei]

check with u guy,i cant lock the focus exposure,is it do with the light leaking issue?meaning that my exposure of my subject change after i recompose.

 

[dodgethis]

No, when you half-press the shutter button, you only lock the focus. In order to lock the exposure, you need to use AE lock. Please read your manual for more info.
