Like many, my positive experience with the mark 3 so far is in part due to some of the shortfalls felt by cameras like the 5D mark 2 or the 7D. Both the 5D2 and the 7D had their shortfalls. I feel the 5D3 is much like a merger of the positive sides of both of these cameras.

Pros:
  • Silent shooting
  • Auto focus
  • Menu
  • Button Layout
  • Low light
  • New video codec

Canon EOS 5D MK III

After Nikon's D90, it felt like the crown of video would go to that firm. But, surprisingly, it was Canon that swooped in, and hoovered up the newly established video-from-SLR market.
Pros:
  • Stills are beautiful
  • capable of producing superb video
  • lightning-fast auto-focus
  • rapid shooting
  • solidly built
Cons:
  • No "clean" HDMI output
  • buttons to control camera settings take some getting used to
  • we'd love to see some more high frame-rate modes

Canon EOS 5D Mark III: a serious upgrade over the 5d2

The 5d3 is a serious upgrade over the 5d2. It improves the 5d2 in nearly every department. The main improvements are to the cameras reliability- if you need a camera that just works, every time, then previously that meant a 1 series camera, now it can be extended to the 5d3 as well.

Canon EOS 5D Mark III

It's more about evolution and innovation (as opposed to revolution) in the digital SLR realm right now. Like the American Idol effect on singers to the untrained ear, the clarity and performance that photographers expect from the soon-to-be-legendary Canon EOS 5D Mark III has to live up to the hype.
Pros:
  • Speed
  • features
  • accuracy
  • video

Basically the same camera as the ID X for 4K less!

So many similarities with Canon 1d X in terms of sensor and video codec, that buyers of the Canon ID X are going to feel overcharged by Canon once again. Owning both I can say there are a few things I miss on the 5d III.

Hard to say in just one sentence...

I know that the camera is fantastic because I've use one before but I never got the chance to use this one because I never received the equipment. Be very careful with the people where you by it from. US$2.750,00 that I'll never see again.

Having owned the 5D Mark II and the classic 5D before it, I can say that Canon has remained true to the 5D ideals of full frame and high quality images at an affordable price (for the professional). The 5D Mark III will instantly feel familiar in the hands of one who has used the 5D or 5D Mark II.
Pros:
  • Fast and flexible focus system
  • excellent low light / high ISO performance
  • high resolution and excellent quality images
Cons:
  • The auto focus points in the viewfinder are difficult to see in the dark
  • Sometimes the new flexibility of being able to positing your focus point just about anywhere is a weakness instead of a strength as you can't remember where you placed it and can't see well enough in the dark to know where it...
