I wish the 5DIII offered more of an improvement in dynamic range though. Improved AF is huge, plus the at least half stop improvement, plus the ISO stops over the 7D. It's a good upgrade for Omar.

The improved dynamic range benefits are only at iso 400 and below. Once you go over that they are dead even. I dont push my shadows a ton to begin with so banding isnt an issue. -Omar- Flickr

That's a given. Now you see my thought process. The 5dmkII was never an option for me with the crippled AF system it had. The 5dmkIII is a better option and the stops in improvement will be massive. -Omar- Flickr

It is a good upgrade. The improvement isn't leaps and bounds imo. His money will be better spent on a RX-1.

For most of what I do it's not an issue, but for landscape stuff it would be nice.
