I am pretty excited about the 5D3 , I have been saving up (and waiting) for the 5D3 for a while. I will not be going all out on a 1D X as that is too big for my taste. I just want the dynamic range and high ISO capability in the slightly smaller package. Just a month or two more and it shall be mine! aha.

It's all over the net, but in case you haven't seen it, Canon have announced a firmware is in development which will give clean HDMI video out, and also bring in centre point f/8 AF like the 1D X. Availability expected in April, so don't hold your breath.

That's pretty nice - a long time to wait but I guess that's more of a tactic in order to sell some 1DX cameras, which get it much earlier but they still want (possible) 5D3 users to get a 5D3 over a 6D.

Sorry for my ignorance but what do you mean exactly with "clean HDMI video out"? Does the 5D MKIII have an issue with HDMI video? Thanks

Maybe clean wasn't the right word, but the notes say "uncompressed" so should give higher quality than compressed.

The Canon 5d Mark II looks good but the 6D will give a bit better low light images and costs 1/2 the price FF. Available in Dec2012

Well I am not sure with what you can prove your arguments, the 6D has not been yet tested as far as I know, also, the 5D MKIII has quite some more advantages over the 6D, for example, more focusing points (both cross-type and linear), better movie mode, etc. (I really don't know much about this two cameras to be honest)

I think he referred to the II, and not the III
Doesnt mean I agree with him though, but just wanted to point it out!

I find myself being impatient waiting for the battery to finish charging up.

This should be a bit of an upgrade from my old XTi/400D.
