Finally Canon made the 5d3 to be what I wished the 5d2 would be. An impressive sensor and an upgraded AF drive. I had hoped to just get the odd upgrades but I just couldn't wait out Canon and picked up the mk2 as well.
Thoughts
- AF has been greatly improved
- Low Noise at high ISO is intensely crazy good, I was plenty happy with the 5d2's performance but Canon has upped its game as expected
- The focused indicator is now just a grey bleep instead of the a lit red box in the viewfinder, which can be hard to see at times
- The built in editing ablity seems excessive but may come in handy down the road. It would be handy for users without programs like Photoshop
- Sort of miss the old location of the on/off button
- Not a fan of Canon's child lock ability of its shooting mode
- I'm glad the 5d3 uses the same battery as the 5d2.
- The ability to use the silent shooting mode outside of liveview is handy and really quiet
