\" Can you imagine if Canon had released that high mp body in place of the 5D3 as we know it?\"
Well, I don\'t know if it would have been easily possible for Canon to release say a 30 mpx body, but my point really is that for some users of the 5D2 the 5D3 doesn\'t appear to add that much. Increased resolution would have thrown such people a bone.
\"There\'s more to noise than just ISO, for instance I can set the ISO to 3200 but if one photo is shutter speed 1/100 and the other 1/1000, the shorter shutter speed will have less noise.\"
You may well be right. My point here is that the 5D3 does have better ISO 6400 performance than the 5D2, but how much better, and also how inferior to the 6D? For some users the 5D3 appears definitively better than the 5D2, for others not. Its the first time I can remember that a major body upgrade has served some of its predecessors user base, but not others.
