If you don\'t need the 5D3 for action and/or high ISO, the \"upgrade\" may feel like a dud. Outside those two areas, the 5D2 is 99% what the 5D3 is.
And I guess that 99% of 5D3 owners disagree with you. Even without the other advantages of the 5D3, the ability to AF at f8 makes it 10% better for many.
Ok... so add \"focusing at F8\" to action and high ISO.... if you don\'t need those 3 things in a FF camera then there\'s little to attract one to the 5D3 other than a shiny new object. Keep in mind: full fame is NOT where everyone aspires to be with current sensor technology.
All I said was that the things that the 5D3 brings to the table over the 5D2 have no value for me.... It may (rightfully) be the holy grail for others.
I also doubt that I\'m in the 1% minority. I know plenty of people that feel as I do and these are people that could also buy any camera they want... (no case of \"I cant afford it therefore it sucks\" syndrome here)..... I also know plenty of people that have been wanting a high-speed/low light FF camera for years and swear by the 5D3.....
