yulia,
If your camera is still under 30days return policy, I say you return it and get another BRAND NEW unit. You might have a bad copy

Yes, i did tell the store i want to return it... I just wanted to make sure that this photos are result of bad camera, not all mark iii's problem or problem of me doing something wrong...

Are your store a techy store? If so, you might be able to check it through with them as well before finally parting ways with it..

Much respect for investigating before getting rid of it. Many people don't...

Thank you! I ordered from onecall, they told me a tech will call me today....

Meanwhile...i am still trying to figure out if there is a mistake on my end...

When i open DPP...when i have jpg file the Noise reduction tab is enabled, i can move the slides etc...When i open RAW file...everything in Noise Reduction Tab is just grey and i can't use it...Is it always like that? (still hoping something is wrong with me, my computer, dpp... but not the camera he he)

That's unacceptable, return it, something is terribly wrong with the settings or the camera itsef. For reference this is a 1600 ISO shot from a 1D IV cropped at 100, the results from the 5D III should be a lot better than this:

The apply button in DPP is grey until you make a change to the sliders, then it will turn active.

the sliders DON'T move at all
they do move with jpegs, but not RAW

I returned mine due to the same problem mate - trust me you arent the only one - the demo unit in store had the exact same issue. the 1D4 is significantly better I!/Banding/Noise (as it should)

I wont touch another one personally.

The latest (corrected) DPP version is 3.11.26.  If you are editing RAW files, the slider should be active and the TIFF/JPeg sliders should be grayed out and vise versa.

Do you have the general settings in DPP (under Preferences) on High Speed rather than High Quality, because Noise Reduction is switched off when you have it set to High Speed.

Hi Mate, I don't have a 5D3 anymore but I didn't try one combination.

FYI the Latest DPP raped my 5d3 cr2s - best combination i found was DNG to LR4

One thing i noticed looking at the sample shots on the canon website and wondering WTF my iso 400 raws don't look as good as their iso 3200 jpegs - is that they used the in-body convertor.

Please see samples below:

1dx http://web.canon.jp/imaging/eosd/samples/eos1dx/downloads/010.jpg

5d3 http://web.canon.jp/imaging/eosd/samples/eos5dmk3/downloads/15.jpg


The 5d3 iso 3200 image they used shot by the same tog in the same location 800mm FL on the 5d3 has no banding… blows the 1dx out of the water.

Where is that noise profile on the production model 5d3?!!

On that 5d3 sample page the 5d3 indoor iso 3200 wedding shot is banding free also... something fishy going on...

As noteed at the bottom – in camera raw conversion – maybe the body knows something dpp/acr/DNG doesn’t.

I can't confirm if the in-body convertor is the key, I wont be able to test till the weekend when i get my hands on another 5d3 but something to consider and try out

no, all is good with my software 

camera, unfortunately, is going back to the store...i already got another one and it looks much better, i think...for $3500 i don't want to look for solutions and fixes for more then a week...my 50 1.4 came in yesterday as well, so i am one happy girl

Newbie here, having problems with my 5D3 images, was shooting my first time indoor arena, daughters ice skating practice. Operator error, or do i have a faulty camera, all my images are a bit graineier than i would want to be honest, and all seem a little soft, this is one of the better ones, Ive had the camera since beginning of april, but this is the first time I've had to use it in low light, i seem to remember my 5D2 looking better and sharper with same lens at ISO5000 with Jpeg when shooting some Martial arts, should i demand a fix/repalcement?
