Canon 5D MKIII

in my opinion c300 is great but to much overpriced, if it was 2 times cheaper i would buy it.
Dapoopta you have right now Mark II, so i think you should try to rent Mark III and try to see if there is any difference in quality, if there is you should sell Mark II and buy Mark III, if you don`t see much difference stay with Mark II and try to buy Black Magic or fs700.
For me FS700 with it slow motion 240fps is the killer for that price.

I've shot with the III, the only big difference I felt was the low light. It is cleaner than my mark II. Not sure what is going on with the sharpness, like someone here posted before from the philip bloom test saying the III needs to be sharpened. Anyone have the 3 that can verify?

A couple more days ;) It just left Illinois

Unboxed it and started to play. I took it to a auto shop with low light and artificial lights to give it a test. I used high ISO, most of the shots were at 1250. Used my 70-200 F/2.8 IS L lens.

I'm very impressed. On the photos and video there was no noise and the contrast, color and sharpness very good. I had read that some thought the photos were a little soft. I could not see any softness at 1250 ISO. More fun tomorrow. Here's a couple samples from today.

Still lookin pretty good in somewhat marginal lighting.

I just can't justify the price difference...
what made you take the leap Don?

I need two great bodies so I have a backup while on a trip. The 7D just does not meet my quality level compared to the 5D MK II and MK III. For most use I believe the MK II is equal in quality. I do like the new capabilities of the MK III. The dual card slot can be used as a backup or when one card fills up it can auto go to the second card. The in camera HDR looks great. The multishot (up to 9) combined in a single saved file. The easy of changing any of the settings with the quick button. The fast shutter activation. With RAW selected I can get about 8 fps then it continues at a slower pace unlike the Nikon that stops and waits for the buffer to empty. With JPG high qual I can get about 30 photos at 8 fps before it slows down. I didn't count them but the numbers were about that.

I do see some improvements with the MK III. It can now be used as a sports camera with the fps faster. The increased focal points are nice for a moving subject. Several different programs for auto focus based on the movement of the subject.

Also got the Canon Pro 9000 printer for $50 after rebate when buying it with the camera.

So all-in-all, happy with the purchase. Now I need to sell my 7D and my XH-A1 ;). A

I have 7D so upgrade to MK III was quite big change for me, after few weeks with that camera i don`t wat to shot any more with 7D.

Dapoopta you have MK II so i don`t thik that you will see much difference, i can tell that no moire/aliasing problems, higher bitrate and better low light is the things that you should consider.

I purchased a T3i a few months back and a 24-70L lens... I really haven't grabbed for my Mark II in a while, except for low light of course! Other than that the t3i footage is crisp.
