5dmk3 - show us your high ISO/fast moving subjects!

Hi all.

To all 5dmk3 owners. show me what this camera is made of.

Show me some High ISO at 12800+ and show me a subject that DEMANDS that awesome AF system!!

Lets see what this baby can really do!

Well since you said "baby", "iso 28000" and "AF"

1000 x 1737

Shot at about 9.00 at night with one small Velux window as a light source only

I don't think the AF on a lower end camera would have been able to lock on to the subject as well as the MKIII did. I know my MKII would not have been able to do this.

SERIOUSLY?

cant tell if sarcasm or not

Other AF systems could do this as long as there was a point of light or small area of hard contrast, and also in one-shot. It is hard to compare as you don't have the exif intact to determine the exposure.

Obviously - you could do it with a MF lens too

I think its fair to say there is nothing the MK3 does that the Mk2 could not - but Its worth remembering that when comparing it to the Mk2 these shots where easy in comparison. Focus was spot on, and at Iso 128000 these hold a remarkable amount of information.

As for fast moving objects - these where shot at F1.4 at close range. And while its not exactly "fast moving" it is shot as such a shallow depth of filed that an inch forwards or backwards would result in missing focus, given that it was very dark (sunset light lit though one roof window) speaks volumes for the quality of the AF.

I am not sure what the discussion here is about. I am just saying that many of the cameras, including the 5D2, might actually be able to AF on this subject, but might require one-shot to be turned on, where Canon's AF seems to do better than AI servo. Also the material being shot matters, if there was no glint of light or high contrast area in low light, then the 5D2, 1D4, etc might have issues, but the 1D3 would be able to do just fine, as does the 5D3 as it shows here. Finally, regardless of how good the AF is on the 5D3, there are still lens and body tolerances, and one may have to resort to MFA to dial in the AF. Again, not a big deal unless the body you use that has lesser AF capabilities also didn't have MFA.

It is hard for anybody to plop down a picture and say that lower end AF systems couldn't do it, unless you actually had those to try in the same situation.

True but if we can see more shots of what appears to be a fast moving subject in a low light scene. we can see what this 5dmk3 can really do unless the ISO and AF system is all a gimmick?

This is the point of the thread, to see shots that will be difficult/impossible to do on 5d2 and lower.

show the image in colour?

black and white is an easy exit for a noisy image.

please show the colour version to truly show the noise at that iso

ok, i'll play...not the greatest photo given the lighting, but it is what it is:

ISO 10000
f/2.8
1/320

It is easy for an intoxicated gearhead on their brand and model to say how great their choice is and nothing else compares to it ...
