Have most now forsaken the 5dMk3 and jumped on to the Mk4?

[Baba_HT]

Am I the only one still Mk3 user? All I see on here now are threads regarding the Mk4.
To me the MK 3 is still an amazing camera. Maybe cause the 4k in the Mk4 sucks and I am not too fussy about touch screen. But that's me been me I guess.

I am very much still in love with my Mk3. I never leave home without her. ;D

Nope! Me, too.

All I see on here now are threads regarding the Mk4.

New toys, new excitement, new fun.
I think we should show a little bit more sympathy with the others, as this is a gear headed forum

To me the MK 3 is still an amazing camera.

Of course it is. As well as the Mk2.

I am very much still in love with my Mk3.

Ditto. And it still delivers great pictures if I am able to use it - although with new tools they might become a little bit greater

I never leave home without her. ;D

Aehm... nope. And I also don't take her with me to bed - at least most of the time

I enjoy the gear that I have. And I'll try to make as wonderful pictures as I can. And I don't feel the urge to change anything. But maybe another bright prime lens... :-X

 

[Baba_HT]

Ditto on all points.

It works wonders when attached to my Prime 35mm 1.4 L/ 50mm 1.2 L and soon to get the monstrous 85mm 1.2 L (where L = Helluva lens)

;D

Hey, shut up already- I want everyone to think their Mark III's are useless now so they sell them (to me) cheap

 

[docsmith]

Checked the day after the 5DIV was announced and my 5D3 worked same as it always has.

I'll upgrade someday, but that day i months if not years away.

5D3 is a great camera

 

[monkey44]

I like my MK3 just fine - no problems. Why buy another camera if this one does everything I ask of it.

 

[MrFotoFool]

The 5D3 is as close to perfect as a camera can be IMO. It will be my only DSLR (not counting the used IR camera I picked up) for a long, long time. Absolutely no need for a mk4 for me.

 

[axtstern]

Yep... I think the people on The upgrade train boarded with 5DII i. Their hands

 

[JonAustin]

Another completely satisfied 5DIII owner here. In fact, I have a notification set up on canonpricewatch.com to get a message if/when new III's become available below $2K from an authorized dealer.

No doubt the 5DIV is an even better piece of gear, but I have no need for any higher resolution, nor video, nor touch screens. Wider DR and improved image quality are always welcome, but the III's capabilities rarely leave me wanting under the conditions I shoot.

I'm probably more of a candidate for the 6DII now than the 5DIV. In the meantime, I'll soldier on with my 5DIII, 5D and 20D (which is still a excellent body, and -- now that it's worth virtually $0 in the market -- a great "throwaway" camera when paired with an inexpensive prime, in hazardous (for camera gear) environments).

I like that thinking. I hate trading gear in - I still miss my Pentax ME Super from my twenties!

That said, when the tooth fairy leaves enough £££ under the pillow, I am sure that I will splash out for a iv, although given the rate the tooth fairy pays, I will probably need dentures first...

No truer words has been said about any DSLR

Just don't try a Mk4 or 1DX2 :-*

 

[KeithBreazeal]

I sold my Mark III to a local friend when the Mark IV was enroute.
I have visitation rights, so all is good.

I did try a 5D4...yet I still have and use my 5D3.

While I'd love to have a MK IV, I just don't feel that I'd want to pay that much to get a MK IV when my MK III does the job.

The simple reason that MK IV's are already in stock everywhere is that the supply is exceeding the demand.

 

[Drum]

Got a second Mkiii a couple weeks ago- brand new for half the price I bought my original. I know the iv has better resolution and a few nice features but I don't use live view or shoot video so there wasn't the desire for me to upgrade.( well actually there was but it soon passed when I thought it over!!)

 

[H. Jones]

Got a 1DX mark II two months ago and my 5D Mark III is still as amazing as it ever was! Although the new sensor tech is great and I love the 14 FPS on the 1DX2, the 5D mark III still makes incredible images for me as a second body and I'm glad I have access to both my 24-70 and 70-200 at any given time.

That said, the little plastic cap on the mode dial fell off around the time the 5D mark IV was released, so it did kinda get a little worse when the Mark IV came out.

I think that the list price of the Mark IV will drop from its launch price faster than it did for the Mark III, simply because the III was more of a leap over the II than the IV is over the III.
