This is everything I'd wished the MkII to be, and so I held off buying the MkII... Now the MkIII appears and ticks *all* the boxes and I'm three grand lighter... :o)

Like very much, currently use 1dsmk2 and 7d with the 1dx bits on it I may just go completely full frame sooner than I thought

I have the 5d, 5dII and the 7d. For me, the only benfit is the autofocus. Though a serious camera user wouldn't have a problem working around on the older 5d models.

I have the MK2 and I already liked it. The more advanced MK3 is looking like a nice buy for a 2nd DSLR. It's going to add to the weight on the shoulders.
