5D3...why only usb 2.0?

Why no USB 3.0 on the 5D Mark III? For the same reason the 5D Mark II has the same autofocus as the Mark I: so that Canon could have something to upgrade to get you to buy the next one.

UHS-I SD cards should be about as fast. SanDisk has a 95MB/s UHS-I SDHC cards.

You do know that the 5D MK III does not support the UHS protocol?

Actually, I didn't. I have good CF cards, and it would take me a while to buy a 5Dmk3 (assuming I'd buy one), so I didn't check for specific SD features support.

If you have a UHS card reader you are ok, but the article is about USB 2 in the camera body.

Didn't plan for either UHS card reader or UHS cards.

I bought a USB 3.0 card reader from Lexar. Would be nice to have USB 3.0 in-body but not a must anymore.
