5d3 wake-up time.
Viggo:
Hi guys!
Just wanted to ask why no one is commenting on the very slow wake up time on the 5d3. When the Power-button is in the ON position and the camera is sleeping, it takes twice as long for it to wake up as the 5d2...
Is it just mine?

Viggo - I saw this post a few days ago and dismissed it. Funny thing is, on my photo shoot yesterday, I grabbed my 5d3 and noticed a SIGNIFICANTLY delayed wake time compared to my 5D2. So much so that I actually looked down at the camera to see if something was wrong. So, I am now asking the same question, what is the wake time on the 5D2 vs the 5D3? I remember this being a HUGE deal from the Canon 10D to the 20D, after that wake times were so fast no one ever mentioned them in the specs again. Now im curious... And still shocked I noticed the difference!

Thanks! Yeah, I know, I have never noticed delay-time before. I just picked it up and shot. Now, I also check the camera to see if it was in fact on. I compared with my 5d2, side by side, and after a few tries, I got a very consistent results, the 5d3 is waaay slower, I'm seeing at least twice as slow. "upgrade" lol. ;D :P ::)

I picked mine up just now, it was turned on but asleep, and had no lens attached. The camera wokeup instantly(1/10 sec). Then I tried again a couple more times and saw a tiny amount of lag, perhaps 1/2 second.
Then I put a 28-300mm L lens on and noticed maybe 2/3 sec lag. Perhaps something in the lens has to wake up too?
Then I dook the lens off again, and noted a faster wakeup time, about 1/4-1/2 sec.
Perhaps the camera goes into a deeper sleep mode after a while as well??

Interesting thought. Multiple sleep levels. Hummmm. I had a 24-105 on when I noticed this. I haven't bothered to test with different lenses. I am not sure how much the lens could come into effect here. I don't recall my 5D2 having any different startup time due to different lenses. I am way curious about this now.
