Several of my friends and colleagues have also had their mode dial covers fall off so this is evidently a common issue. None of them have been willing to pay the cost of repair and have decided to simply tape a piece of paper to the mode dial so they can know which mode is which. It is a shame that customers who spent over $3,000 on their cameras must take this route, lest they spend hundreds of dollars on a little metal cap.
I have found that the build quality has drastically decreased from the Mark II to the Mark III. I did not previously see myself switching brands but have some serious thinking to do.


So, next question: "Since my Canon 40D turned out to be such a pile of... of... of... um... 'feces' should I go with Canon again?" The answer came as a "no" followed by a "but." You see, although I am not a professional photographer, I did manage to get suckered into purchasing a bunch of really expensive Canon lenses over the years. SO as much as I would have loved to switch to Nikon, buying a new set of high-end lenses would prove to be prohibitive.
My musings were interrupted by another notice of "Error99" by my Canon40D, indicating that either I buy a new camera, or I should be prepared to shell out another ~250-300 for repair of the old one. And, given my investment in Canon lenses, it will have to be another Canon. With heavy heart, I searched the internet for a new camera, reading the reviews of available Canon products, and finally settled on Canon EOS 5D Mark III.
The camera arrived 10 days ago and I am glad to report that, despite my dismal experience with its 40D predecessor, "5D MarkIII" appears to be an almost different (and better) animal. Here is my, amateur take on it. So far.
PROs:
-- shooting at mind-bogglingly high ISOs does make need for a flash so last-century
-- crisp-edge images
-- sturdy body
-- more intuitive interface
-- marginal changes of buttons and dials compared to prior versions of Canon SLRs, making
conversion from my old 40D to this new beastie a breeze.
CONs:
-- the prices is an absolute downer! Judging by the impressions I got from reading numerous posts on countless forums and blogs (and my own feelings about this new purchase) I'd rather have NO video capability (which, in this model, lacks an intuitive dynamic AutoFocus and, therefore, seriously limits the use of this feature), NO dual card use (in Mark III one can use two different media cards, but um... so what?...), and FEWER other cosmetic bells and whistles if it meant ~$1000 less for the camera. Of course this is just my personal opinion...

I am barely into using it, but I have to say thus far my results with some preliminary use with the Canon 40mm/F2.8 and Sigma 24-105/F4 lenses is making me smile. I have yet to find something disliking, but I am not going to go looking for trouble. Let's just hope for the best, which is more than what Nikon D600 owners could say.



It boils down to the 5D MIII being better then I expected and as versatile as my needs require. I'm sure in time I would have been happy with the D800e but I can't say I would be as happy as I am now.
I'm no a fan of any brand but I do like some things that each company does. What I would give for a 5DMIII that has the resolution and dynamic range potential of a D800e or a D800e that has the great Software ISO enhancement and FPS of the 5DMIII. I take mostly event stuff so ultra high 36MP does not help me but it would be awesome to have, says the geek in me.


You get a solid, tough camera but without the weight of the 5D Mark III. OK there are only 11 focus points but I only ever use the center focus anyway, and this is VERY sensitive. I think this alone blows away any comparison to the 5d Mark II.
Another great feature is the silent shutter mode, perfect if you dont want to make too much noise at a shoot.
I would say this camera is a modern upgrade to the 5d Mark II, bridging the gap between the signifcant cost of the 5d mark III.
Overall I am very happy!




1) Its much heavier that the Rebel series; and noticably larger too. I get the feeling that its more delicate despite the fact that it is definatley better built. Maybe its the price I paid for it but I get the feeling that if I drop it even a few inches it will break. (I hope I never test this theory). On the other hand my lighter Rebel was treated like an old book and never once gave me problems.
2) Dont expect to be able to use any EF-S lenses that you might have purchased, ( I knew this before I bought mine but I want to make sure everyone understands this). The camera only uses EF lenses (as opposed to EF-S). The quality of these lenses is much better, especially the L series that the kit comes with. Again, these lenses are also considerably larger.
3) The full size APS sensor DEFINATELY makes a positive difference. Expect to see more of the picture but with less zoom (because of the full type sensor).
4) On full auto mode picture just come out better. It definately makes a huge difference when taking pictures in dim areas.
5) There is no built in flash on this camera, you have to buy one if you need it. Or you can use the ones you might have purchased before. You should use Canon ETTL lenses for best results. Anything less and the camera does not have the ability to control its brightness. This usually results in pictures that are too bright.
6) Be prepared to use at least 8GB SD cards. The larger sized pictures and its 6 pics per second abilities fills up your card pretty fast. I never had a problem with my Rebel and 4gb cards. The larger sized pictures however definately make a big quality improvement.
I am still getting used to this larger and heavier camera but it was definately worth every penny. The batter life is comparable to Rebel, the menu system is way more complicated but most functions are accessible via some extra buttons. I find changing most normal settings (White balance, aperature, shutter speed etc much faster).
The videos this camera takes are outstanding, so for a photographer like me this is a great bonus. I never thought about this when considering the purchase but once I tried the video I was so impressed by the quality that my interest in this has grown.

It's a little pricy, but there's a reason for that. A wise divorce attorney once said to me, "Do you know why divorces are so expensive? Because they're WORTH IT!!!"
The 5D Mark III is worth it.


have more mega pixel , less noise , better and faster focusing , more dynamic range
just go and see the d810 before buying these and see the reviews
[...]
i rate it 1 star for this reason that's all not because it's bad camera



PROS
- Only a small bump in resolution (because more MPs doesn't equal better pictures!)
- Style and body closer to the 1D series, which I much prefer. It looks sleeker and handles better and is more weather-proof
- Boosted ISO (although I haven't tested 102,400 if we're being honest)
- Exposure compensation has been greatly increased (+-5!!!)
- FPS is now at 6, which for any wedding/sports/action photographer is a HUGE plus
- The AF system is much faster and more accurate (the old system was EIGHT yrs old!)
- 29.97 and 23.976fps video modes are beautiful - just wonderful!
- 4GB file partitioning up to 30 minutes!!! This is a HUGE improvement!
- CF AND SD card storage/backup, again something taken from the 1Ds, and a LONG time coming and I can still use my (faster) CF.
- Full audio control, including headphone jack!
NEUTRAL
- Slightly larger LCD (by 0.2")
- Slightly heavier, but not noticeably
- No on-camera flash (which I never use anyway)
CONS
- HDR mode, really?
Overall there is a lot I have to learn still about the new technologies this Mark has to offer. Not all of them will make you a better photographer, and I would highly advise not running out to purchase this as an upgrade to the 5D MkII JUST because you want the latest technologies. That said, some of the improvements made such as the 6FPS shooting and the video improvements make this a fine successor to the MkII and indispensable to photographers and indie film-makers alike. The CF and SD slots are fantastic, as I currently own a 1DS-MkII which uses this same system. This means that in camera I can shoot to CF, back up to SD and then use the CF to dump the cards to my computer as transfer rates are higher! This will also save you money, as SD cards are a good deal cheaper nowadays, and will still make fine backup cards!
As a wedding photographer, having a reliable camera is extremely important, so the 150,000K shutter rating is a huge load off of my back. Coupled with 6FPS, I feel a lot more confident that I will get the shot every time. I don't snap a million pictures a wedding, but I do like to shoot burst during the important moments, and the new fps rate will do quite well!
Regarding the one con, is it just me or does this seem too "gimmicky" for a pro-sumer camera? I tried the mode out and it wasn't ground-breaking, I get much better results creating HDR photographs manually with post-editing. Call me old fashioned, but I had the same issue with the Pentax Medium Format DSLR that I rented recently...I just find it lacking and unnecessary.
If you have the cash and are looking for a full frame with video capabilities, this is an excellent choice with the improvements made. Sometimes I feel as though the changes made to a camera (Canon or Nikon) don't deserve a whole new edition to be released, but in this case I feel as though Canon have done a fine job in creating a camera that is worth every penny to upgrade!
