Just got hold of a Canon 5DmkIII.
Been thinking of an upgrade to my 1DmkIII for a little while, the obvious choice would be a move to the mkiv but after looking at my bosses i didn't think it warranted splashing out 2grand for not much of an upgrade (16mp/video).
So i took a gamble on the 5DmkIII there's lots of pluses and a few minuses going around my head at the moment and weather I've done the right thing, think I'll only really know is when i get out on a Saturday afternoon shooting lots of action, once I've got those types of shots in the bag will be the only time I'll know for sure!.
So to give a little test and but my mind a ease i took my dog Oscar out in the Garden with his ball,to give the focus a real workout. I can tell you now there's no harder action to be had then trying to capture my dog and his ball, he goes mad hope the 6fps can keep up with him.
Also the light is getting low, so had chance to up the iso levels (shots were set at ISO6400)as that's one thing that also attracted me to the 5Dmkiii

Focusing seems to work very very well.

ISO 6400 is still pretty clean and lots of detail in the Image.

Overall pretty good show under the conditions (poor light/high ISO/super fast action/Oscar been black and white)
