    Dual card slots for CF and SD.

    That's all I need to justify the purchase.

              Means I can pick up another Mk2 for an even lower price.

              Spend you some brain.

                  you can buy one of the nicest cameras on the market but nothing will fix the ugly skank girls you shoot everyday.

                    We ordered 2 Canon 5D MK III's for production. But I also ordered a Nikon D800 and when I get it I will likely switch back to Nikon

                      when does the mark III get released for general purchase? Or has that already happened?

                        I haven't shot Nikon since 35mm. What is it you like so much about the D800 that makes consider the switch?

                          I pre ordered two of these bad boys.

                          The 5D MK III is incredible. The Nikon D800 only increased image size.

                          Canon found a way to put more photo diodes within one pixel so the image will have far superior dynamic and resolution.

                            You're implying that SexPicturesPass and bottom-feeder brokering is not bringing home the bacon?

                              I'm definitely ordering one. I've been using my 5d since 2007 and kept thinking I would upgrade to a 5d mark ii...so with this mark iii I think it's time to finally take the leap.

                                  Stores had them from yesterday in the UK at least.

                                    Why? Purely as a back-up in case of corrupt media? How many times has that happened to you previously?

                                        with me it's the investment in Nikon glass. I did have the 5d w/24-120 f4 for a bit... found the nikon files could take more post for some reason and the nikon just feel better in my hands... going to wait for the d4x tho

                                          3 reasons.

                                          1: Yes, as a backup.

                                          2: Read/Write times.

                                          3: Less stuff to carry to location shoots as my MacBook has an internal SD slot which also takes us back to #2 since the SD is way faster than a USB CF reader.

                                          It's happened to me 3 times. Only takes once to justify it. Plus, lets face it, I've killed a number of cameras over the years. My last 5D repair cost me around $700 and I'm sure my Mark II is due for a new shutter box assembly. It's just time to buy a new camera anyway.

                                            This is what I'm going to do. I like my Mk II a lot and personally can't justify spending the extra dollars on the Mk III.

                                              From a cinematographer point of view, I don't feel they went far enough with the update. Mk2 with Magic Lantern firmware will do pretty much the same thing.

                                              Obviously they did this as to not cannibalize sales of the C300, which makes sense for Canon. Not for me.

                                              Spend you some brain.

                                                I've always had a huge respect for guys who shoot high quality pictures. I'm not even close to being good at taking pictures and only use a smaller Canon 550D for some hobby stuff. One thing bugs the living shit out of me... when I try to make HD videos with my 550D it looks like stop motion videos done by a retard (some might say it actually is). Guess my card is too slow or something

                                                  I've always had a huge respect for guys who shoot high quality pictures. I'm not even close to being good at taking pictures and only use a smaller Canon 550D for some hobby stuff. One thing bugs the living shit out of me... when I try to make HD videos with my 550D it looks like stop motion videos done by a retard (some might say it actually is). Guess my card is too slow or something

                                                    Do you know if the Cineform MOV is recognized by Final Cut Express?

                                                    FCE doesn't work with ProRes unfortunately and it's not in the budget right now to "upgrade" or move to the new Premiere Pro ( which looks great ).

                                                    I didn't see the AIC output format supported by Cineform ...

                                                    thanks

                                                        How is the video footage? We just picked up a 7D and are excited to start using it. Some of the footage I've seen recently from a friend is just incredible.

                                                            I used Cineform products plugged-in to Premiere Pro for years including Aspect HD and then its successor Prospect HD to convert all my HDV footage from mini-DV tapes to the intermediate AVI codec. It worked well in the earlier years of slower P4 & Dual Core computers to make real time editing easier in some ways among other benefits. But nowdays almost every major pc-based editing suite (maybe FCP too, I'm not a Mac expert) can handle all the major consumer, prosumer and professional codecs that I and many others use including HDV, AVCHD, XDCam EX, Canon DSLR video and more. So I would think twice about getting locked into any third party codecs like Cineform at this point because I feel they are passe unless you are mixing a lot of different types of video sources for complex multi-layer editing.

                                                              I see the Mark III as a good buy for someone who was ready to upgrade from a lesser body to a full frame Mark II anyway. But I purchased a new Mark II body, prime lens and accessories a few months ago to shoot DSLR video and I am very happy with both the camera's video and photo capabilities so it's too early for me to upgrade again.

The dual memory cards slots are important, doing mostly weddings, when I shoot the RAW pictures go to the CF card and a JPG backup goes to the SD card, works perfectly and isn't much dual write buffering going on.

                                                                              If you have a Mark II there's really no reason to upgrade, but if you're shooting anything else, now's the time to take the jump.

                                                                                                  I have always been a Nikon shooter and I have a ton of great Nikon glass. I switched to THe 5DMKIIs when I needed to shoot video at 800 ASA which the last series Nikons were unable to do. The new D800 and the MKIII seem fairly close spec wise (and can do video at 3200 ASA no problem) but I am eager to switch back to my Nikon lenses and Nikon bodies which I prefer ergonomically.
