How far do Canon think they can go in pushing up prices before photographers just say 'stuff it I'll stick with what I have'? Ok they're not going to want to answer it, but it does need feeding back that they can't go on increasing prices and expecting people to quietly accept it. Two new primes introduced with prices more than doubled; the super tele 600mm announced not shipped - re announced with a $1000 price increase over the previous announcment! Do they have no understanding of what it's like out here? How do they propose these price increases are passed on to clients?

Bring memory cards and take pics to post if you can please. I would be interested in results from iso's high, middle, and low range.
Thanks.
Thanks.

On the 5D3:
See whether you can replicate the "black ring" issue around very bright points of light.
Shoot a glint of light off something, or maybe just the ceiling lights. Zoom in in "Playback" mode; have a look.
Now go to the camera settings menu, find "Sharpness", turn it down to minimum, and try again.
Enjoy your play!

Yeah here's one, why are Canon always measuring ISO improvements based on Jpegs, which are compressed and usually put through the in camera noise reduction.
It's hardly a bloody measure of ISO performance is it Canon?
Same goes to Nikon.

From ISO 6400 up I would be more than happy to see noise levels and DR in dark areas.
What I would check on your place:
1. Look for a scene, where you find a subject, which is not quite dark but comes from light shadow to complete dark.
2. Set exposure not under or over and in such a way, that :
a) the subject's luminance level was in the very bottom (left) part of histogram
b) there was enough light in the scene so highlights of the scene where on the very right side of histogram
3. Make pictures (or descibe) of what you see on lcd in the dark areas of the subject.
Is it very noisy? Do you see banding? Compare them to each other and even better to 5d2 if can have one with you.
This could tell something about DR and real iSO usability in difficult lighting conditions.

Please ask Canon how they can justify the large price increases over their previous bodies and lenses, and so much more than their lead competitor, Nikon? Also, does Canon now feel the Video Market is more important than the needs of Still Professional Photographers, ie. Studio/Wedding, Landscape, and Fine Art? Each of my fellow Professional's is shocked by the new prices, again because of the Nikon D800 specs and prices.

simonhowes, thanks for this opportunity.
(1) Please ask them if the the movie crop feature is available, or if it will be available in the future by a firmware upgrade for the 5DIII. In the specs, they have mentioned the movie crop indirectly by the sentence quoted above by TiMovie, but there was no direct reference of it anywhere.
(2) Will it be possible that we might see f8 focusing in a future firmware update ?
Thanks !

1. I didn't see this in the specs, but maybe it's there? Even though there is no uncompressed HDMI output, will it store uncompressed video on the cards?
2. Shoot video with fast back and forth panning and bring it back.
3. Bring back various RAW images at varying ISOs in varying lighting conditions (if possible).
I'm waiting and will decide between this and the D800. I have no glass and will be doing 50% video, 50% stills mostly indoors with fast action, and occasional landscapes. Also, audio/video syncing is very important as I do a lot of bands/concerts with separate high quality audio.
Thanks

One thing we haven't been demonstrated yet:High-ISO video performance.
ISO 25600 stills look incredible for what they're worth, but again we're looking at JPEGs.
I'd love to be able to see how ISO 3200, 6400, 12800, and 25600 1080p video looks. I've been able to push my 5D to 1600 and have usable footage but for anything serious I wouldn't tip it any higher than that. I want to know what that limit is on the 5D3...if possible.
