Thanks for these reports. They help us know what the 5D MKIII is a capable of. Put me in the camp that doesn\'t like AF confirmation, however. I like to use liveview when I have the camera on a tripod and I like to shoot seeing focus in the viewfinder when shooting handheld. If you look at the other thread on the 5D MKIII and alts (and Lloyd Chambers reports) it seems that the MKII is better both for liveview and for focussing seeing focus in the viewfinder. In fact, that thread suggests that focussing using the screen in the 5D MKIII only has accurate depth of field to f/4. So for me, I can\'t see how this would be a game changer, but I understand how it could be for others.
I haven\'t tried this yet but I have taken some quick pics in live view and reaching AF Confirmation with the green square. Seemed to work fine. That\'s not the same as what you (Lloyd Chambers) are saying but I will be shooting with live view and seeing for myself.
Here\'s two images I posted on Flickr using AF confirmation with Live View. ISO 12800 with the 24-105 kit lens
