EXACTLY!  I shoot weddings, and portraits (studio and on location) and having the dual card slots gives a peace of mind that is unbelievable.  I use the 5D3 as does my partner. Even she agrees ...

What a fantastic story! Quite inspiring. Thank you for sharing it! :)

:D :D :D

Great post and Happy New Year. Looking forward to another year of superb content and detailed, comprehensive reviews. Thanks and keep up the phenomenal work. :)

No not yet. I was covered up this weekend, but will probably try it over the Christmas weekend when I have a block of time that I can do this, uninterrupted.  :)

I have shot with this camera and have a friend who still has one. It IS a great camera, no doubt. However, my last 1-series camera I owned was the 1D4. I'd recommend maybe that route for a few ...

Old 40D not dead yet, but having shutter release issues. Before that, the only DSLR I've had to die, was a very old Nikon D1x. The mirror box assembly is what finally gave out, and would no longer ...

I'm glad this thread was revived. I have been having this very issue with my old 40D, and am not ready to give up on it. The original posts about the use of the cleaner / alcohol had a follow-up ...

I did NOT know that - thank you for the info. I was like the OP and just assumed it was the shutter.  Thanks for the info - I appreciate it.  :)

Thanks for the comments and suggestions. The price I can afford is really more around the models listed - the 5DSR or the 5D4 are really out of my price point.  I can say that the looking is half ...

I've shot with a 5D3 for about 3 years now, and have loved every minute of it. Sadly, it was not my camera, and I now no longer have access to it. :( Before that, I shot with a 1D4 that was my ...

This photo shows a LOT of things here. Yes, it's a cool shot of a monkey. However, even though there are ONLY 10MP, it doesn't matter; the subject is well composed, and thus, not losing resolution ...

Very nice! I think the 135L is one of the best primes Canon makes.  It seems to like your 1D3 pretty well.  ;)

I have shot with both. I loved the 1D3, no doubt, and also the 1D4. The 1D4 did help, A LOT, for me and indoor sports. The AF, for me , was noticeably improved, and the high ISO was really a ...

I bet not, especially since the 1D3 is a 10MP sensor.  :D  All kidding aside, I used it a LOT for indoor grade school and high school basketball shots most of the years my nephew played, and I ...

those terrible batteries! I had a 1Ds2 just before upgrading to the 1D4 (which I've since sold and regret terribly). I had 3 of those NiMH batteries, and before each event / shoot, had to go ...

Agree!  I hope that it can be sorted this way; no matter what the reason, I'm saddened as this type of thing seems to put a dampener on new purchases like the 5D4.  Hope things work out....  :\

What are the odds of BOTH the CF and the SD card being bad at the same time? The OP said he records to both and it was identical on both cards. It sounds more to me like either a problem with the ...

I've had te Godox 600's for about 3 weeks and have shot 11 portrait sessions and 1 wedding. I have had ZERO issues with 'color shift'. I'm not saying it isn't possible, as one poster above pointed ...

Bob, Thanks for your awesome breakdown of your experience. I shoot portraits and weddings as well, and also have been looking at this camera.  Glad to know someone who shoots similar types of ...
