Thanks for the AF explanations and the reference to the 5D3 user manual - I hadn\'t thought to see if it was available. The lens vs AF capability breakdown is very interesting since it allows me to see how my lens collection will benefit. Compared to my 5D2 the answer is, its a mixed bag. Who would guess my lowly 35f2 was a class A lens. My 3 f4 zooms would gain outer cross type points, but my 100L would lose its center high precision. My 100-400 wouldn\'t gain anything and lose compared to the 7D, which it usually lives on.
I\'d been considering trading both 5D2 and 7D for 5D3. I think this new camera is a wedding, fashion, portrait photographer\'s dream come true. For a travel, landscape, wildlife photographer, not so much, at least for a current 5D2 owner. And I think this is a good thing.
