5DIII is SHARP!

[Mt Spokane Photography]

so you are able to open the native raw files from the 5dmk3 in cs5?
I've read about people being able to covert them in DPP to DNG files, i tried that and it doesn't give me a DNG option to convert to, only jpegs and tiffs, am i doing something wrong.
i then tried the adobe dng converter and it said files were not supported.
can anyone give me some advice on what to do, i really need to deliver some raw files that they can work with to a client.
thank you.

Try the 6.7 version of Adobe DNG Converter.  It works in batch.  Clean conversion 5DmIII CR2 to DNG.

I'm having real problems installing this, i see my problem is i have adobe 6.6 dng converter.
so i downloaded the new one and two things pop up, adobe patch installer and a folder called payloads. when i double click on the patch installer all that happens is adobe manager comes up and says the update is not applicable. what am i doing wrong?

 
There are two download links on that page.  Get the one marked DNG converter, it sounds like you downloaded the camera raw converter for photoshop CS5.

Here's one...  5D3, 24-70 @ 70, 1/250, 4.5, 800 ISO.  Some sharpening, shadows and contrast in DPP. Focused on his right eye, camera left.

I'd also like to know if this is a 100% crop. Looks great though!

I don't think it's crop

It's not cropped- it's right out of the camera.

This is a 100% crop from DPP of the picture I posted on the last page, but this is just a screen grab.  The details are still sharp.

Just compared my 5D and 5D3 and the 5D3 is noticeably sharper.
