Great review. However I have to be honest im at a loss as to why i would need to upgrade to the Mk3? Duel memory card slots-not needed, ridiculously high ISO settings-not needed, new focus system when the old one i have found has always out performed any Nikons i have tried. Honestly it comes across its been updated more for videographers than stills. The only feature i would really REALLY like is the silent shooting mode and the HDR-jeez that annoys me right there haha

I think that says a lot about how good the 5D2 is as a camera. I personally think that once you try it you may change your mind.


so.. those with 5D/MK2.. don't even try to touch Mk3. :bsmilie:

Since no CR gossips tonight, maybe you want to take some time to read this review by someone who tested the camera for the past 2 weeks in real life.

Canon Eos 5D Mark III review - photographers

This is an interesting quote from this working photographer:

"Oh believe me - I was being conservative when I said 2 stops better high iso performance I've shot some low light images with 25600 and it is as good as 6400 on the 1DIV."

Too late... already infected with a non-curable, near death, ultra heavy dose of BBB!!! ...cough, cough, weez...

I'll use my 5D until it dies then change to whichever is the latest model then.

I like to know the price first. Though, in the end it probably doesn't matter.

"So are there any negatives to owning this camera? Maybe just one. You will lose the ability to blame the camera for any shortcomings in your own photographic ability. The camera is what every Canon user has been waiting for and then some."

then this cam is sure not for me, i like to blame on the cam when the pic comes out bad :bsmilie:

 

[snapperBB]

Sounds like the price will be on the high-end when it launches here as the yen is still high... I'll possibly wait for price to drop 'steeply' like what happened to the Mk2 in 2-3 years time.

Being a casual photographer and no time to indulge, I'll stick to the Mk2 for sure. We can never 'chase' technology.

I will buy 5d3 one month after it's released to the market. Did canon mention the release date as end of march? Then I will buy it at the end of April or beginning of may. : )

Bro, not yet. Says clearly 'end of march' in the review

 

[ricleo]

Bro by pre-ordering at your favourite shop, are you paying RRP or shop price. Of course the pricing is still unknown, but just like to know how will the arrangement be. If this is sensitive, can you PM me? Thanks.

street price currently unknown of course, hence no price agreed yet. but that shop tends to have one of the best prices all round.

 

[ricleo]

Since you are the first, you owe it to your brothers and sisters to provide a review and sample photos!

Congratulations!

hopefully! but i think there's alot of pros running ard with pre-production sets, maybe someone from CS has already been playing with it and a CS review will come up soon

The MSRP for UK is £2999 = S$6000. And guess what, VAT (or GST) is another 20%...

Holy...

Man, I think I might as well set my sight on 1D4 or 1DX if that's the case...

For us, the US$ price is a more reliable benchmark lar.

True enough, but even using US price, it comes up to about $4.5k range, which will probably make quite a portion of the potential upgraders hesitate.
