From a `tester`.. allegedly.

1.3 crop
Images ~16MP
ISO 50-25600
8MP sRAW1 format providing images that seem to best 1D3 files in detail
Very clean images at ISO 3200. 6400/12800 take further processing very well
Slightly faster FPS than 1D3 in real life shooting
AF greatly improved and very good in low light (actual comment was 'Nikon fast' ;-)
Liveview AF - not up to fast sports use, but very usable otherwise
Video as with 5D2
Screen as per 5D2
Ergonomic improvements with grips - some buttons moved
Feels faster and more responsive in nearly all aspects of real use.

Might not bother with this one - should have enough for the 1Ds mk4 though if/when announced. Although would welcome even faster focusing and 16mp. Video? nice to play with but does anyone actually use their HD video mode on their 5Dmk2? I mean, regularly use it?
Low light use - never really had a problem with that, even in darkened churches as long as one has a decent 2.8 (or faster) lens strapped on.

Hey Mark,
Yup - all of the time now. Especially since the last firmware update. It is now very controllable/usable with stellar results. Just don't ask about editing the darned files... that's a completely different story ;O)

Faster? Wow. I just borrowed a friend's mkIII for a day, and that thing was like shooting with an Uzi.
Hard to imagine anything faster than 10fps.

No mention on whether this one can focus correctly hey :-)

You're expecting too much of Canon. If you want good autofocus, you gotta come to Nikon :P

Cool, from someone who has probably never even used a 1d mk3 for any length of time.

You have to learn to ignore certain people. Others just like to play internet hysteria. Being a 1DMKIII owner for almost two years now. I couldn't imagine owning something else for sports. Our staffer shoots with a D3 and is constantly complaining about it. And has asked to borrow more then once because he is always getting ribbed by his wife at how my stuff always looks better in the paper. I'm pretty sure there are bad apples in every bunch of mass produced man made items. The 1DMKIII had it share of issues for sure, but people who have never used them really have nothing to go on but Internet Hysteria.

On topic Canon is still producing video's and commercials for the current 1DMKIII body, I'm pretty sure that it will be a while before a replacement comes out or they wouldn't be spending that kind of money promoting the current model.

Just to add some bad out of focus MKIII shots

Hey come on guys... See the :-) in that reply.... and besides it's a rumour thread. I have actually used the body and compared to my regular cameras it's light years ahead in every way.

my Molga, is superior to the crappy 1d mk4

lol @ 'Nikon fast' :)

I saw a 'road map' of Nikon's new stuff and their D4 is supposed to be 16mp, or 11mp in crop mode.

FPS= 11 at full res, 16 fps at smaller resolutions/jpeg or something similar.

Sorry to be hijacking this thread but the frame rates are becoming ridiculous.

Bah, for most of us, it really doesn't matter. Especially rumors.
casio has a camera that shoots 60fps, so it's been way out of hand for a while.

Bah...that's because you are so fast/good with manual focus Matt and not because of any technology in the camera. :)
