Looks like Canon have chosen a significant date to bring out a firmware update to address the resolution issues with the 5D3.

There’s a small issue with the firmware in that the camera will only deliver the full 40MP in the hands of professional photographers who know what they are doing and using the right camera settings. Such professionals usually use P for Professional so this is the only exposure mode that the full 40MP resolution will be available

:lol:

Surprised this got anyone. Firmware cannot change the physical characteristics of a sensor.

Hi Sam. You Amish/Menonite people in Bethlehem believe everything. lol. Wish everyone was honest. The camera world would be a better place.
BTW, I think that Dan's Camera City II is opening this month or next in Nazareth. Maybe a good deal on the 5DMIII or 1Dx then.

Will it allow me to use my 400mm f4.0 w/ 1.4x in the AF mode, instead of MF? Maybe by October, the firmware will allow it to take pictures without me holding it.
