<div class="bbWrapper">not stressing mate! I have not burned $3500 for the body! the only interesting picture that I see in your posting is the one with the buggy - but again, any camera who shots in RAW - you can post process the images and do HDR to get nice textures and pleasing dynamics in the pic!</div>

We have a habit of organizing and shooting events, but we always incorporate a twist. This paintball video is going to be insane. We have trucks jumping over other trucks, para-gliders with guns, all sorts of battle vehicles, and over 60 people fighting. I&#039;m very excited for the release of this project, and I&#039;ll definitely post it here for you guys to enjoy!<br /> <br /> We shoot everything on Canon DSLR&#039;s. This will be one of our first videos shot entirely on 5D MKIII&#039;s</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">hey tasteofjace I really love your shots, and I&#039;m really impressed with how sharp they are, can I ask, are you happy with the overall sharpness of the camera? Id be tempted to ask if it was ever possible for you to send me a couple of your RAW files so I can view at 100% I really want this camera, but whats holding me back has been the overall sharpness, and now im thinking its been user error when I look at your files,<br /> <br /> here is my email if that would be possible, id be so grateful<br /> <br /> Louis<br /> <br /> [email protected]</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Very nice shots but are you implying that these could not be taken without a 5DIII?<br /> I see you have 5DIII and 7D, which means that this as your 1st FF camera.<br /> If that is the case it goes without saying that you made the right choice.<br /> However I am sure that you could have taken these nice pictures with a 5DII and a 7D</div>

I myself do not have a 7D. What I loved about the MKIII was it&#039;s ability to capture action. I&#039;m still learning the vast auto focus system, but it performed wonderfully and allowed me to get some great action shots from the day. Also, I was shooting in many different lighting conditions over the 2 day shoot, and never had issues with the metering system. It&#039;s just an absolute pleasure to work with this camera.</div>
