Loss in Resale Value of 5D Mk3

[briansquibb]

I found putting a hole in the black plastic on the front of the lens helped a bit. Cant work out how to screw a filter on there yet.

Low light performance seems quite poor

For me with my lens cap on photography, I like to use the light from my LCD to add a cool accent light on my subject, how about you? haha It's just a pain that that light doesn't travel far!

Great tip. I haven't tried that yet, but if Canon sensors weren't so miserable in the DR department, I wouldn't have to do that, as I'd have the luxury of pushing the exposure five stops in photoshop.

Well...if I were to burn myself, I'd rather do it in effigy. Hurts less.

Where were you in the DxO thread? And more importantly, where's the applaud button when you need it?

Taken with my light leaking "1" series 5d III which I received on Mar 22. I do lots of travel photography including night and long exposures. LCD on or off, every DSLR meter I have ever seen has underexposed in extremely low light. Anyone with experience knows you need to use the histogram if you want to create an adequate low light exposure. Obviously, the leak has not been an issue for me thus I don't plan on getting it fixed.

Great shot! What cracks me up about the whole light leak saga is that back in the film days, the light meters were so bad that no one in their right mind relied on it for long exposures at night. You'd just start by overexposing whatever reading the light meter indicated by a couple of stops, bracketed a ton of frames, and hoped that one of them turned out OK. Even then, you had things like reciprocity failure to contend with. In contrast, a light leak - even if it does exist - doesn't change the fact that you have the luxury of reviewing an image and histogram on the LCD screen almost instantaneously, and adjusting the exposure if necessary. I suppose that's too much effort in this day and age.

I hope the resale value drops because of the "light leak". I would love to pick up a couple extra back up bodies in the future for cheap, thank you! 8)

There have also been reports of people wrapping themselves in light-blocking tape and burning themselves in effigy in front Canon's regional headquarters offices in the USA and several European countries, to protest Canon's inadequate fix for this problem.

I thought effigy was a place in France ... The same city that DXO is in

Didn't the French just vote out President Nikonozy?

Oui, même si je veux un appareil photo 1DX demain pour la course automobile. Un 5DIII n'a pas assez rapide fps - donc je vais photographier avec le 1D4.

Excuser-moi pour the garçon de l'école française
