-= 1D MkIII Owners discuss =- and Post Your Pics

Yeah, I would still consider the 1D3 the backup. For what I shoot, the 5D is just so handy. I love the true focal lengths of the lenses on the full frame, the shallow DoF, etc.

Each body has its pros and cons, so I can't really say that I prefer one over the other. If someone hires me to shoot their kids' hockey game, I will go with the 1D3. If someone wants some nice portraits in the park, the 5D. These two bodies really do complement each other very very nicely.

I am totally agree with TaDa, and I am doing the same thing !

Are there downloadable pre-sets for the MKIII like the ones made available for the MKII? If not, can someone point me in the direction of the most recent or most agreed upon settings for sports, etc. Thanks.

If you have Excel, you can open this and use the settings in it. You'll have to add them by hand though.

G'day,

just wondering if anyone has a basic preset they use when importing images from their mkIII. I've got the metadata one set up, but really should get organised to do the basics of sharpening, colour adjust, etc as well.

I'm not looking to "effect" the image as such, just get it to a basic starting point by overcoming the AA filter, etc.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Anyone know what software was recently updated to determint the shutter count?

I don't think there is anything for the Mark III. I would love to be wrong though. I'm dying to find out what mine really is.

Me too. But since owning mine, I've logged the shutter count everytime I charge my battery.

I bought mine used, but my previous cameras bought new, I always knew the shutter count. The Mk3 is working fine, sounds fine, but had a high file number in memory when I first used it. So no real telling where it's at, without sending it to Canon.

Here is a larger crop of the above. I realized again today, I have a very good copy of the 24-70L as it's super sharp wide open.

Straight out of the camera and run through FlexNR, 1 button and it's done (bad spot lighting in there too).

Does the skin look a little hot?
