I think this thread needs a bit of perspective. I\'ve been testing this camera for a day, and I can already tell you it\'s the best camera I have used, Canon or Nikon.
The metering and autofocus accuracy are better than any camera I have tried to date, including the D3s and 1D IV. The shutter is very quiet and has very little mirror bounce or vibration; the silent shooting modes in particular are amazing: quietest SLR I\'ve ever used. The camera feels far more responsive than previous 5-series models. JPEG file quality is astonishingly good (for the kinds of things I use JPEGs for).
The files are really nice too. Luminance and color noise levels are not radically different than the 5D2, but importantly there is NO pattern noise, and dynamic range and color accuracy is significantly improved at ISO speeds higher than 1600; I\'d say there is a usable 1-1.5 stop improvement in RAW file quality at the high end of the ISO range.
Actually, I am rather stunned by what Canon has accomplished with this camera. In fact, they built exactly the camera that many of us asked for.
The sensor might not be as suitable as that in the D800 for landscape work or certain kinds of commercial photography at base ISO, but the 5D3 is still an amazing piece of kit that will make a lot of photographers a lot of money.
