After reading the link this news comes from, I'm not betting on the info due to it coming from a Canon sales Rep.

Here's the quote...

"Initial reports had it shipping on April 17th but upon inquiring to my local camera store about CPS pricing, the local Canon rep informed the store that this lens will not ship until July!"

So, plenty of posts from people ordering from B&H or Amazon, with some info on their orders, but what about Adorama - has anybody heard anything from them?

Nothing yet for me from Adorama.

My order on March 2nd still says "order pending" for the 5D mark III body-only as well as the 24-70mm 2.8L II lens.

Great stuff, thanks.
If we're talking about jpegs direct from the camera, can we throw the improvements between ISO 50 to 100 out the window?

EOS Bodies / Question regarding ISO 50 on 5D III

« on: March 14, 2012, 08:44:28 PM »

I realize that ISO 50 is not a native setting on the new 5D III camera.
My understanding in general terms is that ISO 50 has less grain and more color saturation compared to ISO 100 to begin with, especially with print film.
My question is due to the ISO 50 setting being NOT NATIVE, will actual photo prints of 11"x14" or larger show more noise/ image degradation versus the NATIVE ISO 100 setting?
I don't have a current digital camera that enables this option to compare for myself.
I would appreciate any thoughts or explanations from anyone willing to share for myself and others reading this forum!
