    Finally! Canon 5D Mark III

    I *finally* got the highly anticipated 5D Mark III yesterday.





    More teaser pics: http://www.ocabj.net/?p=2295

    I'm going to need a couple weeks to put it through it's paces before I can give any real feedback on it. But I'm liking all the features.

            I'm going to be putting my 7D and BG-E7 up for sale soon. Keeping the 5D Mark II as my backup/secondary. I pondered selling the Mark II and keeping the 7D, but I really prefer full frame. Plus, I just don't like the lack of audio gain control on the 7D (and no Magic Lantern compatibility).

              Nice, I've been meaning to get a DSLR setup for a while.

                          awesome camera.I still use an old 20d for motorsports pics but plan on going to a 7d when my camera craps out on me.

                          If i were mainly focused on stills,portraits,landscapes,similar i would definitely wan the 5d.Very hard to beat

                            Lucky. Wife and I got a Rebel T3i last month and love it so far. It's our first DSLR. If we ever feel the need to upgrade we're definitely staying with Canon.

                              A 5DMKIII is on my list of things to buy very soon. I also have a 20D, which is nice, but the serious Ghost Hunter needs the very best!

                              The SAD part is, now my 20D isn't worth much, because the lesser used camera market will soon be flooded with them.
