Most people are not nature photographers and don't value detail as much as I do and they're more focused on noise. This is where the 5Ds will shine, but at the expense of detail. BTW, I will buy a 5D3 to replace my 5D2, but mainly for the better AF and fps. The 5D2 already has excellent noise performance. Dave

I got my 5D MK III today, but I haven't had a chance to do any test shots. I do know that I the controls and ergonomics are improved greatly. I love how everything is laid out.

cool... I can't wait to take this camera out the rest of the day just to shoot.
Btw, the silent shooting mode is insanely good.

Kai is up to his usual antics in this video review. FF to 6:30 even if you don't want to listen to the entire review.

video guy said he wouldn't upgrade with his own money. ha.
i want to see how clean 6400 is in video. and 12800. and if the AF is good enough, could replace my D3 and my 5D rental fees.

holy shit. that's a clean 6400. what you're seeing there is the compression artifacts, not so much the noise.
wow.

That's a big difference, and interesting about the post sharpening. Makes me wonder how post sharpening on still images will be in comparison to the 5DmkII as well... |

sharpness for the video still sucks, but shouldn't be a problem with stills at all, since those aren't downsampled.

didn't seem too bad once he added sharpening, but I mean, it wasn't amazing, and I watched it on a 55" screen. So I'm fairly impressed, I figure most people aren't going to see it that big. (maybe in 5 years when everyone has at least a 60")

problem I have with the video, because you have such an extreme contrast between background and lights, the one thing that would tell me the most is out of focus. The silver part of the light is the most neutral colour/tone you see, and it's not in focus, and that's probably going to be the most important part (along with the black, but there really isn't any black)
Maybe a video of a picture might make it easier to tell. Hard to say. |

yeah, that's probably true. I pretty much focused at the center of the frame once, and kept that same exact focusing for both cameras and all the videos.
I can do some more next week. I have a pretty cool video in the works right now, that I'll probably make live by Monday.
