The 5D III images we were waiting for:

I'm encouraged by the results I see.
I know there will be few duds out there, but I hope that puts a little confidence in the focusing ability of the 5D3. I know when I went from a Rebel XT to my 7D, I was blown away by the focus system on it. After trial and error and some soft images, I then realized some focus modes work better for certain situations.

All I'm trying to say is, that there was a learning curve for me and the soft images I had produced were a reflection of me not understanding the system at the time.

Give it some time, learn the system and I'm sure this camera will not disappoint.

Couldn't agree more.

Thanks for posting! This is the stuff! not some stupid numbers off a number-based site (dxo).

I'm more interested in AF than IQ because I already know the IQ is better or equal to the 5d2 and that's all I need, those bursts and action shots promise very very good for my upcoming 1d X. Very nice images. All of them.
