I have talked to...at least...10 former Canon pro photographers who have reluctlantly been forced to switch brands because of the continual Mark III AF problems...before and after the fix. They didn\'t want to make the change but Nikon had come out with better focusing sports/action bodies in the D3/D700.
I do have a D700. While I like this camera a lot but from my personal experience its AF capability under low lighting conditions doesn\'t measure up with that of the 1D series. YMMV, of course.
I shot candids for a high school prom last month with a Mark III and EF 24-70 on a dimly-lit dance floor. I wasn\'t able to get many shots because the camera couldn\'t lock on focus.
Two weeks ago I photographed a rehearsal dinner and reception where the lights were turned way down low....darker than the high school prom. The D700 and AFS Nikkor 24-70 f/2.8 was able to focus on subjects on the dance floor and talking in the reception area whereas the Mark III on my side just stammered and stuttered to focus.
I must have a bad Mark III?
