The target demographic who will buy this camera are users that won't think for a second about using the 5DIII in their shooting situations. The robustness, accuracy, and speed of the 1 series is only for the most demanding of professionals. This is coming from owning 3 1 series bodies, soon to be 4 :P To the point, the 5 and 7 series will get you 90% of those critical shots. But when you're in a situation where you absolutely NEED to get THAT shot, no other camera is going to maximize you chances more than a 1 series. Well said! www.dKweddings.net

My 5d3 is more accurate and consistent than my 1D4. One might say that is because it is newer technology. In that case, in low light ai servo my old 5D2 would lock on with the center point when the 1d4 would not. The only way the series helps get the shot is having machine gun mode (which I like). However, timing is even better if you are shooting something that can be be predicted. Jason

That is a silly question as you read I am not planning to upgrade. You can bet your bottom dollar there are reasons for the 1DX being as expensive as it is beyond weather sealing and grip. But since you sound like a happy 5D3 owner I won't try to argue otherwise.

No I didn't read you weren't upgrading. Sure there are other reasons why the 1dx is better. I only questioned the validity of the statement the AF is significantly better. All the reports I have read indicate their performance is similar. yes I am happy with the 5DIII but if I could justify the expense of a 1dx then I would buy it. I may end up purchasing it yet. Jason

As good as the 5DIII is and it is darn good, it's not a 1 Series. Just look at the shadows on the 5 and push it a bit. Even at ISO 100 the banding is sickening. That is and was the deal breaker for me. Read the review/comparison on DPReview with the Nikon D800. My 5DII had bad banding that drove me crazy. I tend to underexpose and even a 1 stop increase in exposure in LR revealed banding. I've never seen that on any 1 Series and I've owned the 1DSII, III and now IV. As to feel and handling, add on grips are just not the same. I'll just say - Thomas -
