Does that mean that when I format my card after a shoot then ML has to be reloaded? Or does it by some magic stay on the card?The beta version is generally very stable. I've not had an issue in months, and I've never had an issue that wasn't solved by removing the reinserting the battery. ML is not installed on your camera, it's loaded from the card on startup (thus the slower startup).
Leave mine turned on, lens cap off and hood fitted. All ready to go
I got a bit confused with some of their downloads - they have the Stable release which is version 2.3 but that doesnt have the 5D3 listed, but the nightly downloads refers to a 5d3.123 version for download. I guess this is the beta version, so its highly likely to still not be functioning correctly - is this understanding right
thanks

It does by some magic stay on the card You do get option to delete ML from the format screen if you want.Does that mean that when I format my card after a shoot then ML has to be reloaded? Or does it by some magic stay on the card?

In Lisbon and hiked all day with 15kg worth of gear.. Pics are worth it. HeheMe too. I can't imagine using anything else these days.
How about having the back wheel adjusting ISO only when you hold the SET button in. This way you can then use the back wheel on its own to adjust EC.When using Aperture priority, i have the top dial for controling aperture and back scroll wheel the iso, but cannot find out how to put in some exposure compensation.
How do i set this up, sounds good.How about having the back wheel adjusting ISO only when you hold the SET button in. This way you can then use the back wheel on its own to adjust EC.
This is how i have mine set up.

That's good. I keep seeing reference to ML but have been wary of this.
Next.....how would it benefit a landscape/wildlife/still life type operation or is it primarily of benefit to video users?

Thanks Dave, now got it all set
It is the same for me here but I never zoom out to 4 or 9 images so i wouldn't have find it if you hadn't posted.Clever feature or a little bug?
When reviewing some pictures mid-shoot last week I got into a bit of a knot. Try this (assumes you've got a few images already on the card):
1) press the magnify button
2) spin the wheel anticlockwise (to zoom out), and keep going till you see 4 (or 9) images displayed in a grid
3) cancel this by touching the shutter button
4) now press the playback button and attempt to view this histogram for an image using the INFO button... I don't believe you can!
5) to get out of this little knot you need to press the magnify button then spin the wheel until you are zoomed out to show the whole of one image... now when you press the playback button you can see the histogram in the normal way
Hardly important, but a curious little bug in the user interface - or a very clever feature that I don't understand

I had come across this - strange isn't it??Clever feature or a little bug?

The other annoying thing is along the same idea - you can't view the histogram going from anything other than a full screen image.I had come across this - strange isn't it??
Another way out of the little know.... is when you have 9 images displaying, press the SET button and then the playback button (or the magnify button!) - you get back to the histogram view.
I nearly bought the 1dx over the 5dmk3 but a few reviews favoured the 5d for what I do. No idea if it was firmware issues but the image quality seemed nicer with the 5dmk3, so that's where I went.I wouldn't exactly attribute looking like a pro camera by adding a grip as a plus. Those who know will know a mile off and those who don't aren't going to be worth trying to impress anyway.
Personally I disliked the grip on 5D3, I liked the grip on all other EOS bodies I've used and owned though but the 5D3 just feels better balanced in my hands without a grip. I do only use 1.4 prime lenses for 90% of all my shooting though.
Anyway, to update on this thread. The best lens I have ever owned and used has to be the Sigma 35mm 1.4 DG. Funnily enough my Sigma 85mm 1.4 EX is pretty much just as sharp as the 35 but has more visible purple fringing (though this is completely removed with +2 on the lens calibration slider for purple in LR.
Both lenses are IMO top end for optics and performance and I wouldn't change them for any other lens even if they were offered to me for free (well, I'd sell them and buy the Sigma lens again and pocket the change ).
My body has a few scuffs and scratches now, it's been around the world with me from mines and caves to extreme heights and -32 degree arctic circle weather conditions. It's never skipped a beat and is fast approaching 50,000 actuations.
I think it's a bit of a beast and certainly lives up to being the 1DX's little brother.
Rock on!
I wish canon would keep the damn buttons in the same place instead of changing them about. It's a pain with two bodies.
is it a go for it ASAP
Where did you get that from? Not that I can see me changing bodies for a while yet anyway.So apparently 5d4 could be released within a year!
Canon saying they about to release new bodies with new sensor.
