I think I'm getting good results. They aren't as sharp as my Pentax 645D, but then I'd hardly expect them to be.  I'll hold judgement until we have some proper RAW conversion software.

I'll add my vote in a few days once it's in. Here's to hoping the numbers are low and I get a good one!

Mine was really bad, so returned it.  Waiting for the 1DX instead and will get another 5DmkIII later once I saw output from final RAW software.

the first day I had ERR 80 come up twice.  Also about 30% of the time that I turned the camera on, the first shot had massively screwed up colors.  I talked to Canon and they said it was their first call with a problem, and that I should return it.  So I get my replacement tomorrow by 10:30 AM.

Had mine a few days now, shot some at a wedding, some outdoor portraits and did some test shots today comparing to my 5D original and 1DmkIII, so far no problems with the 5DmkIII and overall seems much better IQ than the other 2 cameras I compared to.

Mine seems fine except for the blown/Hot pixel.  I did the "manual sensor cleaning thing" Cap on put it in manual clean mode for about a min. I guess it remaps the sensor and covers the hot pixel?  Well it worked :D

I ordered one body only and one kit with 24-105 lens. I shot a wedding over the weekend and both cameras were perfect.

how was the AF? did you just use center point of outer points as well? did you AFMA all your lenses and bodies before hand.
brave man shooting a wedding straight up with untested gear like that!
