Cant you see that all piublished pics so far from the mk3 is not
just up to par compared to what we have ssen from 350/30D etc.

I don't think these are any special and haven't seen any good from
this camera yet!

The purpose of the post was not to prove one camera is better than
the other, it was to share the photographic moment that was
captured by me.
I had 350D so I know its capabilities and shortcomings. One needs
to keep in mind when someone like me who is taking a walk through
the park with mk3 and 500 is lens which is a very heavy combanation
hand hold and sees a humming bird and try to chase it by draging
this heavy equipment does not have much time to set it up and shoot
the best possible picture that this particular camera is capable of
producing. Furthermore, I said it myself in my original post it is
nothing special.

No offense to the OP (and this does not apply to Your pics btw)

but we coud at least see shitty pictures with glorious quality - -sharp, fantastic colors and dynamic range?

Just kidding, you are right of course, but the point you make is
true and a lot of people overlook it, it's not the equipment but
the photographer. A MKIII won't make the pictures any better in
certain hands, in others it will. Also, unless there is a lot of
action, and you need to print large, the older cameras still do the
trick.

no it is not just an equipment forum. One can talk tech all you want, but what you do with your equipment is much more important from my perspective. More hype on what a disappointment this camera is, most of it is rubbish. I know 3 pro's who use it faithfully and couldnt be more impressed and have ordered additional bodies. no af issues, impressive high ISO and dynamic range, two thumbs up as it is a nice upgrade from the 1dmkII. I shot one for 4 straight days and have nothing but great things to say about it. But until the prices come down and more available, my old 1dmkIIn will just have to suffice.

Serious amateurs or pro's dont wastie their time here trying to defend it, but make serious money using this tool. Most people beaking about this are people who dont have one, want one, or dont know how to use one to get the most of it YET. Is their tweaks that need, absolutely, nothing firmware doesnt fix. Gee wonder why Canon hasnt acknowledged issues ;)

If you dont have anything nice to say, keep it to yourself, you offer no value.

Garen didnt profess these were top notch, he wanted to share in his outing with his new gear, more good would come from encouraging and supporting our fellow shooters than chastising with such a ignorant comment. And if you think a entry level dslr can out do a 1dmkIII, take up basket weaving :)

Have a fantastic long weekend :)

... and rip apart perfectly acceptablee pix (in such a small size that any real judgement of the camera's capability lets me know not to trust YOUR judgement), all I can say is, STFU.

You expect miracles, for some reason. Perhaps you've the P&S everything-in-focus-and-oh-so-oversaturated mentality. Perhaps you'll never be able to afford a dash one body. Who knows. Who cares.

Well I can see the differences between the mkIII and those (and the 5D as well) so I'd have to think the problem more then likely lies with your perceptual capabilities.

Here is what the camera's AF sensor was looking at and it isn't in
sharp focus.

That is exactly where I had it focused, my friend in the photo asked me to focus on the camera for this shot.

Hi Joe,

Did you by any chance underexpose the last shot? Thanks in advance
for your reply AND for posting good examples of what in-focus shots
should look like; it was refreshing.

The exposure was correct in PPing I used layers to bring out the colors to my liking.

Sorry, I missed your reply earlier today. Well thanks for confirming the point of focus. I had erroneously thought you were trying to catch the eyes.

BTW, IMO your bird shots are darn good for walking around and no tripod to depend on; I'm impressed. There are a lot of folks that think a hummer should be shot at ultra high shutter speeds to capture the bird with wings frozen in air; well, I'm not one of them. I always like to see the wings in a state of blur because it gives me real feel for the action created by the bird; I mean, why is it called a "humming" bird and why not capture that aspect of the bird's flight (or hover as the case may be).

I've noticed a complete "lack of action" when hockey players are shot with a flash; they look like they are suspended motionless on the ice. Give me a little blur with the feet and stick and I really get the feeling for the "action" of the scene. Oh well, if we were all the same with identical tastes this would be a pretty boring world.

Look at this crop, you can practically read the print on the romex hanging off the pole.

It's ridiculous to say this camera can't take sharp photos in spite of it's problems. I'm comparing the mkIII to the bodies I've owned 1D, 20D, XTi and 5D and I can assure you there are no problems in the sharpness dept with my mkIII. In spite of the problems mine has with the 400 it hasn't missed yet with the 70-200 f4L IS, everything with that lens is perfect.

I think it's getting to the point where non mkIII owners should STFU and quit acting like they know everything about this body based on what they read on the internet.
