I just came back from a photo exhibition. I played with the new Canon 5D mkIII (with 24-70 I and 70-200 II) . I shot some portraits from iso 1600 all the way up to 25600. I was impressed!
Here I uploaded 2 100% crops at iso 1600 and 25600. Sorry for not uploading the whole image but the model (my dad) is not very comfortable about it   
I also played with Canon G1X but didn't have an sd card to save the files..

Those look great!

Do you know if the model you used was a Pre Production model, or a Final Build Model?

I don't know but I can ask tomorrow. I'll be getting a friend with me too, to shoot some portraits.

A bonus shot from today. ISO 4000 full size JPG

I checked the ISO 4000 JPG image.

For me this is the proof that the 5D Mark III is going to be a very very nice camera.....
Taken with F2.8 with also the very nice 70-200 II 
Imagine the RAW files.....I like it....

I am afraid more replies will be here soon telling us the image is soft and...and...
I don't care , because I am going to be happy with this Camera.

Wow! ISO1600 looks fantastic! ISO 25600 looks great too. Are these based on RAW, or are they just crops of camera JPEG?

[akiskev]

I was shooting raw+jpg. These shots that I uploaded are crops from the jpgs because I cannot open the raw files (tried dpp and acr).
Tomorrow I 'm planning to shoot portraits with 70-200 II @ 135mm f/4. I'll manual focus precisely with live view and shoot from iso 1600 to 25600. I think the results will be interesting.

You can open the RAW with CS5 and Adobe Raw 6.7 Beta

+1!

you can download the beta version of camera raw here and it works great: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/cameraraw6-7/

then you'll be able to open the mark III RAW files in photoshop.

let's see those RAWs!  the problem with the jpegs is they get a bunch of noise reduction applied in-camera. 

i'm seriously confused as to why canon is broadcasting 2 stops noise reduction in *JPEG* but has been fairly mum about RAW.  if i had to guess, i'd say 80% + of photographers buying a Mark III shoot primarily in RAW.  why buy a camera like this to shoot in JPEG?

[akiskev]

OK guys. Tomorrow you'll have your raws (thanks for the info about acr!!!!).
70-200 II@135mm f/4, manual live view focus and iso 1600-3200-6400-12800-25600. Any suggestions for better settings?
I 'll upload the raw files to a filehosting site and we 'll discuss the results together

Do not forget that I'm shooting in a well-lit environment though.

wow, even though that's JPEG, that looks great.  it's hilarious to me that your impromptu shot of your dad looks 1000 times better than any of the "official" mark III photos i've seen. 

how could they release such terrible images!

[chito]

I have to say.. that ISO 4000 shot is astonishing.. I mostly shoot at ISO 1600 on a 5D2 and this looks worlds better..

Try one at 1/4000 with lens cap on and 1sec with lens off, if possible. (totally dark and totally blown out)
