oh well i will just keep using ML nothing in the new FM is useful for me, now ML can shoot 2040x1428 14bit RAW DNG without shutter actuation on 5D3 very good for time lapse. While Nikon can do time lapses canons cant without a intervalometer probably so that they make more money.

No they did not...at least I haven't found anything in the menus and they don't light up during AF. We'll have to wait for the official docs to come out to determine if there is some special setting combination that would kick something like that in. So far it doesn't appear so.

Installed and running. The HDMI signal from the camera is showing no overlays and image is edge to edge on a 1920x1080 TV. It was nice to find the new "Mirroring" menu option. In the pic below, the camera is connected to the monitor and the LCD remains on, sweet! When I press record, both stay on, however the red recording dot only showed up on the camera LCD.

Do you have audio out over HDMI? Are there any other HDMI settings in the menu other than the mirroring option?

It works well for me, the same as for thousands of others. There has never been a virus or malware for Canon DSLR's, so the risk is low.
With my 100-400L and 1.4X MK II TC, AF is painfully slow unless I switch the range limiter to 5.5m to infinity, and then its fast. I often shoot small birds at 2-3m, so that will possibly be frustrating.
It was a bit front focused at 400mm, so a AFMA is in order. I can now see where a MK III TC would be useful.

Don't confuse uncompressed with RAW, they are two completely different beasts.
My credit card is ready to purchase an ATOMOS Ninja 2 or a BM external recorder "if" there is a noticeable improvement in the image quality coming out of the clean HDMI port. That is one big if though...and early (although highly biased) reports would seem to indicate a big fat "no" on that one! >> http://www.eoshd.com/content/10233/5d-mark-iii-uncompressed-hdmi-sample-footage

Just to report on the latest firmware 1.2.1 for 5D3, looks like it's no longer able to detect the 3rd party LP-E6 battery level anymore.
When I put my 3rd party LP-E6 (off-brand, bought from eBay) into the camera, there's a warning screen that says:
Communication with Canon LP-E6 battery is Irregular. Continue to use this battery?
If I choose Cancel, the camera will turn off instantly. If I choose OK, the camera will turn on & run as normal, but the battery level will stay at 100% all the time & I can no longer register nor delete the serial number.
This is kinda bummer for me as I just bought 18 DSTE-branded LP-E6s & I'm expecting it to arrive next week. If the DSTE-branded LP-E6s can't show the battery level, I'll be very disappointed.
Anyone else have this problem as well?

I get the warning with 3rd party batteries (pearstone and ebay), haven't noticed wether the battery level changes or not. This is a cat and mouse game with the aftermarket battery mfgs. I'm sure they will try to fix this in new battery revisions.
