Put links in this thread, there are already many repeat threads started, and I'll merge them here. In the future, repeat threads on the same subject will be merged or removed.

Here is a Start, I'm sure that there are many more.

I was able to have a bit of a play today and also attended the presentation by CPS, so have some insights from the UK CPS rep. I'm planning on doing a writeup fo rmy blog, but I can upload it here as well when it is done. The card slots on the cameras on display were taped up, as they were pre-production models still, so I couldn't but my own cards in, but I was able to do a quick and dirty comparison with my 5D MkII on the back of the screen. Incidentally, I also had a quick play with the only 200-400 in Europe on a 1D MkIV.

What was your impression of the quick and dirty test?

I've written a first impressions on my blog, which I was going to copy here, but I think it's too long, so I've sent it to Craig to see what he wants to do with it. However, my impression was, that the 5D MkIII at ISO 25,600, was slightly noisier than the 5D MkII at ISO 6400, based on the image on the back of the screens. I would therefore say that it is about a 1.5 stop improvement, but it will need further testing to confirm.

Re: Finally LOOKING good !!!!

Man, I'm stepping through these files and I have to say I'm totally floored! I could easily print with the 3200 and 6400 files. And even 12800 - while starting to get mushy - is workable at 5x7 and possibly even 8x10 prints (with some good post work). Real granular noise doesn't present itself strongly until 25600... and that's frickin' 25600!!!!!!

Gimmeh!

When you compare it to 5d2, then you start thinking - is this really what we've been impressed with until today?

They have the same test with the 5D Mark II....see the difference....makes mee feel good.

Included RAW files....

After lookiing at the exif file and the exposure time /f stop, I was disappointed to find that the lighting conditions used would give low noise values not representative of actual use.

The images are really not suitable for evaluation of high ISO low light images, since they were taken under bright lighting of approx ev 10. This will result in lower noise than you would get in low light.

So far, only DPR gets it. Their sample images were taken in low light, about ev 3 which is a more realistic test for low light high iso shots.

This is what I was thinking, it's a brightly lit studio environment. These may be high ISO shots, but not low lighting
