Sep 14, 2012 01:08 | #1 Finally bit the bullet and ordered my 5d mark III from amazon before they start charging us in Cali sales tax. The thing I don't remember is do batteries usually come with any charge in them? I have a football game I want to shoot at 7pm, I can shoot with my 40d or give this new toy some action, perhaps an hour of charge time will give me enough juice to have some fun... I feel like a kid on christmas eve! 5D Mark III|7D Mark II|60D|T3|24-70/f2.8|70-200/f2.8L MK II ||Canon Speedlite 600 EX RT|Canon Speedlite 580EXII|2x Alien Bee B800

I absolutely love it. Right away you notice the speed difference between the 5D Mark II and the 5D Mark III. Some of the menus changed a bit but after about 30 minutes of playing with it I couldn't put it down. Here's a few that I shot this weekend.     5D Mark III|7D Mark II|60D|T3|24-70/f2.8|70-200/f2.8L MK II ||Canon Speedlite 600 EX RT|Canon Speedlite 580EXII|2x Alien Bee B800
