5D3 vs 40D: Impressions and “review”

Hello all,

I thought I'd point in the direction of a review with a difference. I've just moved from a 40D to a 5D3 so thought I'd point out a few of my observations from this rather radical move. You can find it here:

Here's a bit of a taster, enjoy!

"High ISO

OK, here are some high ISO images. I am completely blown away by the 5DIII. Firstly, just to showcase the 5D3, here are a few images I took at iso1600 and iso3200 with the 5D3. What amazes me is that I can quite happily shoot with these isos inside all day long and have no real worries about the sharpness, noise and focus of these images. This photo I particularly like, my daughter and brother. It also emphasizes very nicely the cropping power of the camera. You can end up with 2 completely different images purely by cropping. And just look at the 100% detail at iso 1600 - inside!

That is a big jump congrats.

I've just made the same jump and waiting on delivery of my 5DIII thanks for your thoughts - very interesting and exciting!

Cheers guys, and have fun with the new toy Angus, you're going to love it!

Agreed with the post above. It's a huge leap from a 40D to a 5D2 let alone a 5D3. Congrats and welcome to the world of full frame. BTW, your image looks really good.

good jump, you missed some of the complaining that happened in between. you're lucky, 5d3 looks like a good camera.
