Thanks for posting!  Very useful!  I just ordered my 5D mkIII yesterday...so excited!

Links to the new flash and controller unit would be great too.

I was able to have a bit of a play today and also attended the presentation by CPS, so have some insights from the UK CPS rep. I'm planning on doing a writeup fo rmy blog, but I can upload it here as well when it is done. The card slots on the cameras on display were taped up, as they were pre-production models still, so I couldn't but my own cards in, but I was able to do a quick and dirty comparison with my 5D MkII on the back of the screen. Incidentally, I also had a quick play with the only 200-400 in Europe on a 1D MkIV.

What was your impression of the quick and dirty test?

scalesusa,  thanks, much appreciated!

Kernuak - looking forward to your take on mkIII.

[Rob Wiebe]

Now waiting for a Production Model Review.

I've written a first impressions on my blog, which I was going to copy here, but I think it's too long, so I've sent it to Craig to see what he wants to do with it. However, my impression was, that the 5D MkIII at ISO 25,600, was slightly noisier than the 5D MkII at ISO 6400, based on the image on the back of the screens. I would therefore say that it is about a 1.5 stop improvement, but it will need further testing to confirm.

They have the same test with the 5D Mark II....see the difference....makes mee feel good.

Included RAW files....

Looks very good....thanks for sharing the link

See the difference between the 5D Mark II/mark III here on the :

Finally indeed!  I think those first jpeg samples had many worried.

Wow!!!. If this is exactly the difference, then it's absolutely stunning.
If anyone still hesitates, below something for start: comparison between
