There's no way I'll be able to afford a Mark IV unless I win the lotto so I'll probably jump on a Mark III.

With the past of the MkIII, Id be hesitant to 'jump' on it until its out in the hands of quite a few people. Seems to be nice though.
I was fortunate enough to never have a problem from either of my MkIII cameras but I know a lot of people did have serious problems.

I'll jump when I see some solid and consistant 6400-12800 ISO examples. If its 2 or 3 stops better than my Mk III's.. then I'll sell one mk III for the mark IV, keep one mk III as backup.

Kind of gimmicky I suppose but I do like how the auto focus point stays the same even when you switch camera orientation.

I thought that was pretty neat as well. Would really help for keeping the focus point on faces. I would love that for concerts, too.
