I know everyone is in a fluff regarding the 5D3, however, I am giddy as a school girl over my wife and my recent coversation.
Her: "Honey, why don't you go ahead and get the 5D2?"
Me: "Okay!" (my obvious reply)
Her: "Are there any lenses I might like?"
Me: "Well, there's the 28 f/1.8 you would likely enjoy"
Her: "Don't you think we should start buying more L glass?"
;D Me: "YES!" (starts panting but trying not to show too much excitement).
In the end we ended up going through Adorama who threw in a bunch of crazy extras like an extra battery, backpack, some software and a CF card, none of which I was too thrilled about but hey, they're "free".
Anyway we ended up buying the 5D2, random extras and the 35mm f/1.4L. So, though it turned out to be a rather expensive conversation, I believe it will be so worth it in the end. I have no idea how anyone would reply to this message but I was too excited to keep it to myself.

A few hours with a 5D3

The dynamic range on this unit measures even a little bit worse still. a Full 1/3 stop WORSE than my 5D2. Nikon got 2.4 stops better since the 5D2 and Canon got 0.36 worse. :'( Nikon has about 5 or 6 recent releases, DX and FF, that just destroy the 5D3 for dynamic range. 5D3 even measured a full 0.4 stops worse dynamic range AND with worse banding than a 1Ds3 someone lent me some files from. The 5D3 actually has just about the worst read noise per photosite of all the Canon models. Worse than 40D,50D,60D,7D,1D4,5D2,1Ds3,etc. I had to go back to a 30D to find worse per photosite read noise. Not sure what they did with it in that regard. If they had it with 1D4 per photosite read noise it might have gained almost a half stop of DR compared to the 5D2 instead of losing 1/3 stop.
At ISO 100: Vertical banding seems to me to be at least as present as in the 5D2 although horizontal banding is 100% gone. 7D has the worst vertical banding by a long shot. 1Ds3 has none, the only Canon camera I've tested that has no vertical banding, it does have some horizontal banding but less overall banding than 5D3. The only Canon to really pass the banding test is the 1Ds3 and the 40D isn't bad at all from what I recall, otherwise they all suffer from banding, the 5D3 may be the best of the rest, although that doesn't really say a ton.
Anyway that stuff was all, to one degree or another, already known.

5d Mark iii noise at 1600
I was just doing some test shots and when i opened them in DPP...well, am i missing something here? i still hope that i pressed the wrong button, or chose the wrong settings...something that produced so much noise....Oh maybe i expect too much....But do you guys think this noise is fine? at iso 1600...I am not very happy with that...
thanks
thanks

Is video raising cost of bodies? Is it wasted for many shooters?
