I'm not really sure why you would switch lenses before upgrading. When you do upgrade, you can then get the 5D2 or 3 with the 24-105 as a kit and save yourself $200 or so. The only reasons the...

Here's my flow chart answer: 1. Do you have and are willing to spend over $3000? If no, get the 5D2. If yes, go to question 2. 2. Do you have lots of Canon lenses? If yes, get the 5D3, if...

I bet the bear shoots RAWWWW - sorry, couldn't resist...

When I was researching this a while back I came across this site: http://www.lenstip.com/115.4-article-Polarizing_filters_test_Results_and_summary.html I subsequently bought the comparatively...

Whilst it is possible, it can also be time consuming. I started off with this approach as I thought it would be a good solution for me. However, I quickly found that I end up just going back to the...

Have you considered a 100mm macro (either the L or not)? May sound like a strange suggestion, but both are extremely versatile. They are excellent macro lenses, but also great portrait lenses in...

Thanks guys, useful responses. I use my 100 in a number of different ways - on the tripod for still macros (and then yes manual focus and live view), but also portrait and hand held macro. Sounds...

This is rather a specific question with respect to auto focus with the 100mm macro (non-L). Whilst focus is super fast sometimes, at other times, it hunts more than my other lenses (50L & 70-200 4...

Hello all, I posted this in the 60D/7D forum as well but thought you guys might be interested. These are some of my immediate reactions after a somewhat radical move from 40D to 5D3:...

Woh, lots of negativity, did no one tell you guys how awesome the 5D3 actually is to use? And why on earth should it not beat the 5D2, it's better in every way!

You're right in everything you say, however, there's more to the rating than pure image quality, and personally, things like performance and ergonomics play a huge part for me. It all depends on...

I'm going to go out on a limb and say 83% or 84%, one or two better than D800. the 5D3 will not score so highly on 'raw image quality' and potentially 'value', but i suspect will match or better...

Have a look at the raws at 3200 and 6400, highly impressive, where is the noise? Can't help thinking there must be some processing here... that cuts down the colour noise... (ps, was focusing on...

Hello all, I've just moved from a 40D to a 5D3 so thought I'd point out a few of my observations from this rather radical move. Hopefully this will be beneficial to those considering a move up...

Bare in mind you can use both Phase detect and contrast detect whilst in live view. The phase detect is slower to operate and moving the focus area around can be a bit tiresome, but it works well....

Well I'm voting for the 50L. Partly because I'm on a mini vacation this week and have restricted myself to just the 50L and a 100mm macro with the 5D3. I can happily comfirm that the 50L is...

In addition to others: Better build - more water resistant Wider bracketing options

Cheers, hopefully they fix it in the coming fireware update.
