There is one major thing I would like to see improved in the 5DIII over my 5Dc (note the C for classic is the just to clarify) is the AF in the outer points.
Sick of focussing and recomposing.
Then I wonder if all this list is accomplished; (I guess yes)
2nd: Much better high ISO, meaning the ISO 4000 to 6400 must be about as good as the ISO 1200 on my 5Dc.
Why? I want to have good pictures in dark venues easier. ISO 1600 is the max I go with my 5Dc and sometimes
even with the 50 mm 1.4 is not enough to get shutters of 1/60 or 1/30 (and flash is not an option).
3rd: Proper sensor cleaning.
I know the 5DII has it so I assume it in the 5DIII. (sensor cleaning is a pain) Because I\'m tired of taking dots in
PP or avoiding closer apertures in some situations.
4th: DR increase.
Why? this is my reason, I want to be able to have high key portrait editing in a cleaner way with NIK software
plugin
Can someone tell if this will happen?
5th...: shutter delay, FPS and AF lock has to be faster--I assume this one is there just reading the specs
6th: Screen Screen Screen---Want to check critical focus and use LV for some flower/portrait composition.
7th: More resolution for cropping or aligning some pictures. Yes, sometimes I do not align things as they should
8th: Two card slots for separate RAW/JPEG
9th: Better and brighter VF
10th: MF adjustment for all my lens.
These are my 10 points for an upgrade from 5Dc, I\'m already having my planning done and convinced my \"economy boss\" (read wife lol) to back my idea up so no pain is taken when she sees the camera flying around the house.
I guess some of these points make it for the 5DII, this camera will be my workhorse for the next 5 years if nothing wrong happens to it.
Sorry if it is not applying fully to the topic, but I guess it is a good list for 5Dc users like me.

So I don\'t own the 5d3 but I have read pretty much every report and so on I was going to get one then got sidetracked by the 1dx...
1. Yes. Outer points are great.
2. From RAW processed in ACR/LR I\'d say ISO4000 and ISO6400 are usable.
3. Yes. Apparently the 1dx has a new system, but I\'ve found my 5d2 system to be good.
4. Low ISO DR is increased I believe, but high ISO DR definitely has increased.
5. It would appear so.
6. Much better than the 5dc!
7. Yes, up to ISO1600/3200 the crop room will be about 40% of the image, presuming your lens has the resolution to cope with this.
8. Yes
9. Don\'t know about this one compared with the 5dc.. It\'s at least as good and 100% coverage.
10. Yes.
The major issue that people have reported so far is with seeing which focus point you have selected in both low and bright light. I don\'t have one so I can\'t comment much about this.
It\'s a great camera!
