EOS Bodies / Re: 5D Mark 3 - Please help!

« on: August 17, 2012, 06:56:33 PM »

Most people and reviews tell you to turn off all NR settings, LO, etc. I've seen thousands of jpg pics SOOC (including my own) and they are very sharp.
Your images posted are not the best examples.  I honestly don't think it's the camera. Perhaps you might have have to MA your lens/lenses.
What picture style mode are you shooting in? I tend to bump up the sharpness a little bit more if i shoot jpgs, (though I mainly shoot in RAW) definitley makes a difference.

Since I got an email from Adorama saying my item has shipped and I have a tracking #, I'm going to assume BH is right behind them. I wouldn't worry to much.

Personally, If they did that to me, I'd be furious beyond belief and would spread the word to everyone no to buy anything from them again. Just my 2 cents. This is SO wrong and they know it.

EOS Bodies / Re: 5d markiii officially wont use SDHC UHS-1?

I ordered this SD card. So, we know for absolutely sure it won't work in the 5D III? If so, I gotta return it!

 It's an awesome card and will work.

 Your paying extra for the speed though and apparently it won't be an added benefit for you.


So stupid so so so so stupid. I have to wonder if it was an engineering decision or a money decision.....

 So perhaps the card is a bit like putting a supercharger in your grandmother's car. I just compared the 5 d mark 3 to grandmother's old buick! I bet that's a first.
 

Thank you and a perfect analogy.

Adorama ran a pre-charge of $1.00 on my credit card thursday, so they must be getting ready to ship.

When did you put your order in? They put a pending 50.00 charge on my credit card on March 1st.

and because of all of this, like an idiot, I paid the 65.00 to have it shipped overnight.

You are not an idiot. You and I are people that  Shareholders can rely on...

Very true.....Very true.. LOL.

I don't know about the rest of you, but these Pre-orders threads are killing me. The only TRUE reliable source we have is Amazon and Canon. (Users are actually getting delivery emails with est. delivery times, but the closet one I've seen to the 22nd is April 1st, and Canon's official site shows a est. Shipping date of March 26th.

Lets take a look at what we know or realistically don't know.

1. Someone supposedly called BH and they said absolutely positively they won't have them on the 22nd, and they do NOT have 12000 pre orders.
2. Someone else supposedly spoke with BH and said they were told there are over 10,000 Pre-orders, and the shipment will be delayed by a few days.
3. CanonRumors claims their source says March 22nd and should have plenty in stock.
4. I've called BH and Adorama several times and they would NOT even give me anything to go on.
5. LensRentals shows a date of March 22nd

6. But the BIGGEST source of them all (canonusa.com) shows an estimated shipping date of March 26th, which is in line with what others have said about the actual release date.

http://shop.usa.canon.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10051_10051_305370_-1?WT.mc_id=C000000

What does this all mean, besides I'm losing my mind? LOL  It means we have NO hard concrete evidence the release date will be March 22nd. So, until we hear further, I'm going to assume the 26th is the actual date.

I pre-ordered mine from Adorama at 11:37pm on March 1st and because of all of this, like an idiot, I paid the 65.00 to have it shipped overnight. I can only hope and pray I'm in the initial release.
