Based on the number of responses to these, so-called reviews, I would guess that there is an intent to lower the overall score.
I could be wrong though.
What do you all think.

Four one star ratings out of 73 reviews.

One review only mentioned the light leak issue, and was from someone who didn't own the camera.

One review was from someone complaining the camera didn't have face recognition.

One review was comparing the 5D3 and Nikon D800, called both phenomenal cameras, yet gave the Canon one star.

Conclusion: Ignore Amazon customer reviews.

Pretty much sums it up. Saying the 5D III isn't as good as the D800 is defensible (wrong, but defensible :) ), giving the 5D III a 1-star review is classic trolling.

Agreed. You could argue the differences between the two cameras but giving the Canon one star just isn't being honest.
