You might want to hold your horses for a while yet. Several pro photographers I know are swearing that the MkIII is the most useless pile of doggy-do they've ever used - one guy has even got trading standards involved. And it seems they're not the only ones either.
Unfortunately this is true.
Thankfully, I've only used it professionally in the studio with live video and manual focus (not really what it was designed for). It worked great for that. I love the files it produces, love the handling, speed, menus, rear screen, the noise (or lack of) is unbelievable.
Took it along to the Brooklands anniversary at the weekend to just take some snaps. Couldn't figure out why some shots had missed the (auto)focus. Was shooting at 2000th + wide open. Closer examination looks like it tending to go back focus.
After reading the RG report, just done some testing, on a tripod. The focusing is erratic and inconsistent to the point of unusable.
Just registering my disappointment to Canon. They need to fix this fast!
