In case the title doesn't give it away, I FINALLY HAVE MY 5DMKIII! It's been a long wait, but having it for less than a day, I love it. Upgrading from a Rebel t1i to this mamma jamma is incredible from the new features to the crazy improved AF system and other technical specs to the size and ergononomics! I finally don't feel like I'm swallowing my camera in my hand. The 5Dmkiii fits in my hand so much more comfortably. While the megapixel increase from 15 to 22 is great, I'm indifferent only because I was focused on different aspects. That being the AF system and the ISO range/noise. Here's the incredible part about my upgrade...I went from a measly 9 point system on the t1i to the BRAND NEW 61 pt AF system also found on the 1DX! Holy crap! Now I won't have problems trying to get a focus point without having to re-composing. Also, the ISO/noise is a huge improvement for me. My t1i 1. only has 1 stop increments, 2. only really works up to about 6400 not including the High expansions, and 3. high ISO produced high noise. Now that I have the 5dmkiii, I have a lot more choices with ISO range with 1/3 stop increments, ISO range that has a native 25,600, and a helluva lot cleaner noise at high ISO.
I could go on and on and on and on about improvements, but this would turn into a novel. But alas, the 5dmkiii has a lot of subtle features and what not.
And why not, here's a photo comparing my t1i and 5dmkii...
