5DIII same ISO performance as 5DII
prestonpalmer:
There is only a .5 to 1 stop improvement over the 5D2.

I love it when people say "ONLY a stop better".
Its TWICE as good. How is that "only"? If my paycheck was one stop improved id be pretty damn happy. If my car's gas mileage was one stop better i'd be jumping for joy. If I had an extra stop down below I'd scare some ladies away.
Anyway, rant over. prestonpalmer, this rant was NOT directed at you, just at people in general who are so ungrateful for what amazing technology we have before us.

LOL. I agree completely. As a wedding photographer I am completely stoked about the improvement. If I can get away with using 6400 iso rather than the 3200 I don't exceed with my 5D2, I couldn't be happier! Especially with the new AF and Dual Card slot. Its a perfect wedding photography camera as far as I am concerned. And with regard to Mega Pixels. PLEASE no more than 22MP. That's PLENTY!

Dude. You are my long lost twin. I do weddings as well, and I never went above 3200 on the 5d2 either. Eventually, more MP will be good, when computer processors double in speed and hardrive price per TB is cut in half too. And maybe when blu-ray is as mainstream as DVD for delivery to clients.

Pushing my 5D3 to 6400 still scares the crap out of me. I just need to post process a few more weddings with it to build my confidence :) Oh, and LR 4.1 OFFICIAL release will be a big deciding factor as well. And as of this year, I am DONE with DVD's. Now Digital Negatives (if they buy them) are delivered on these:

With custom labeling for the client. Auto slideshow built in as well. I hate DL DVD's with a passion!
As far as more MP. I don't see clients ordering anything much bigger than 20x30. So no real need for more MP unless you plan to do a lot of cropping. I would prefer Canon go to a SQUARE sensor next round with a slight MP increase. see this:
