But the technology does matter

In reply to danqi, May 17, 2012

I didn't buy a Mk III because I was dissatisfied with my original IQ. The AF sucked and now it is excellent. And, the low light performance is a whole lot better. And, I get great video. And, I have a much more weather-tight body. And, the ergonomics is improved.

The original 5D had one huge thing going for it...the ff sensor...but I am very pleased with the technology advances in the Mk III.
