5DM3 ISO 1600/3200 bad technique, or broken camera?

(1/10) > >>

photokid:
I've had my 5D3 since April, but haven't had much time to shoot it at high ISO, last night i took it to my daughters skating practice, used mainly with 70-200II and 35L, pictures are blotchy and lack definition.

I don't normally shoot indoors, but the last time i did in similar light i used my 5D2 with 70-200II and shot some martial arts at ISO 5000 and the images were sharper and cleaner.

As you can see these are blotchy, not in focus and have terrible noise, i tried with/without IS, i tried it with Various focus modes, the results below are typical.

Is it my poor technique, or should i be onto Canon for a fix/replacement.

photokid:
heres another

photokid:
74 views and no reply, thanks guys, perhaps i should have put D800 in the title, FWIW it's not a camera bash i actually love the thing, but i was a bit disappointed with these images, especially sharpness, and i wondered if i had done anything glaringly obvious,  guess it's the bear pit at DP review or FM forums then ciao!!!

Chris Geiger:
You can't just point the camera at something and expect it to know what to do. Overall the exposure looks correct but the point of the photo is the face. I would have lowered the exposure on the background and added diffused light with off camera flash to the face. I understand you can't always do that, but without light control, you end up with just a snapshot.

The results you are showing are normal and typical.

SteenerMe:
Looks underexposed to me which will show the noise. Did you use al servo? Cause at 2.8 its tough with that shallow depth of field to hit focus on a moving target..esp in lower light.
