Ronno: I was just trying to familiarize myself to a 5M3 upgrading from a 5M2, when I started to notice some weird artifacts from SOOC JPGs. So the call for help.
I am now more confident that it is me who is the weakest link

I agree fully with Monito, Manual all the way...most of the time...Av and Tv when needed, but mostly I just use the camera's meter to look around, see what it suggests for a manually chosen ISO, then decide on my shutter speed and apreture settings...it's an old stubborn habit from my film days; I still carry a light meter in my bag, I'm sick I know, but happy

Manual exposure has its weaknesses too, it is no panacea by any means. There are light changing conditions that require hard work and lottsa experience in order to achieve good results. Some examples from bird photography where exposure change can be quite dramatic:
(1) Intermittent concealment of direct sunlight by passing clouds, ON-OFF, ON-OFF....
(2) The bird moves (swims, flies...) from a sunlit spot to shade or v.v.
(3) The bird turns or tilts its head away from direct sunlight impingement or v.v.

In-camera jpg for the 5d3 is soft, bad, often lacking detail. Ask anyone.
I don't think I can agree on that one. RAW gives you more latitude to post process, but SOOC JPG's are top notch if done properly. A deliberately underexposed shot SOOC and 100% crop with a slight curve and sharpening; right off the press

Peter is correct, I sometimes forget I've had a camera to my eye since 1970 and find manual my most used mode. Note I've only been shooting digital for 5yrs and sometimes, as stated above, when light is erratic; clouds and back lit conditions especially, then Tv and Av are a big help, in an emergency I've even set the mode to P; in fact when I leave the house P is used for that quick unexpected moment.
It's what works best for you and what you shoot, and I'm not a BIFer, I just shoot the elusive city/landscape, flowers and other close-up/macro images. An occasional in-flight shoot is usually planes during well lit days or surfing in quite good sunlight...Southern California has a good bit of sun, I'm spoiled a bit...
