are you guys able to open the CR2 files?
the jpgs look like they are getting hammered by in camera NR which could be done alot cleaner using something like topaz denoise where you have independent control over shadow midtone and highly Nr as well as individual channels.

Canon's ZoomBrowser should be able to open them.  It opened a few CR2's from another article the other day.  Wont be able to try myself until later.

I thought Canon wouldn't let you post pre-pro RAW files? Or at least, that's what I've seen other sites/people say as to why they couldn't upload the RAW for people.

Well it's a good thing somebody posted some RAWs because I was getting worried.  but now I'm starting to get happier about my purchase

the release candidate of the new adobe camera raw supports the Mark III, you can download it right here:  http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/cameraraw6-7.html

you should be able to open the cr2's in lightroom or photoshop after installing. 

i'm downloading the raw files right now (taking foooorever!) and am going to try to open them)

UPDATE: it works great in photoshop, lightroom doesn't work with camera raw release candidate though.  i can open any of the Mark III RAW files now in photoshop though.

Looks good - ISO 6400 on the 5dIII looks similar to ISO 400 on my 40D...

[Astro]

i have only looked at the 6400 isos yet.
compared to the 5D MK2 it looks good.

but im suprised how much more detail the nikon D4 shows especially in the red parts of the image at iso 6400.



of course they are different beast... im just saying im suprised.
i seldom go above iso 3200.

[Fleetie]

I shoot JPG, and the "Comparometer" shows that the 5D3 at ISO12800 is just SLIGHTLY *LESS* noisy than the 7D at ISO1600. There's not much in it though.

So that's a stonking THREE STOPS of improvement!

I can't wait to get my hands on the 5D3 !

yeah i wouldn't expect the Mark III to get anywhere close to the D4.  The D4 will be impossible to beat.  I doubt we'll even see the Mark III competing with the D3S.  Those camera's are low light beasts. 

I'd be happy with solid 6400 performance and thrilled with solid 12800 performance.
