My first trip out with the 5D3 few weeks ago. I was pressing all the wrong buttons as the layout is different compared to 5D2.

Mr G & Coleslaw. Love the shots, great work. What lenses did you use?
My second outing with the camera few weeks ago, first time testing the AF system.
I was still getting very slow success rate. I have to put that down to my own technique, and the speed of these puffins flying around. So, more practice is essential
At long last I had the opportunity to try out the AF. This shot was with the 70-300L and the camera latched on instantly. For me, the AF on the Mk3 is far superior to the Mk2 and 7D (both of which helped fund this body. Oh yes and for the wags (pun) amongst you, it's the rearmost dog that I focused on! )
Now this is more like it! As nice as many of the shots on here are and I'm not putting them down, they don't really show anything that many other cameras couldn't get just as easily. However, this shot to me is showing what the MkIII is all about - the AF system!
...Show me a fast moving subject in darkness being tracked infocus and almost noise free!!
Do you mean something like this?
Love my little boy...!

Has anyone tried a yongnuo flash on their Mk3?
I got mine from Panamoz, great correspondence from them the whole way through.
To try and put the minds at rest of those thinking of ordering mine happened as follows:
Their site was showing out of stock and at a higher price than the £1995 deal that Mal had agreed.
I contacted them via their email contact link, explained I was interested and understood if you were a 'friend' of Mal's they would match the £1995 price
They came back and said yes and they would let me know when they could source one... very shortly after got another mail saying they had got one and if interested to contact again to confirm
After agreeing I wanted it, they send you over an attached invoice and the bank details for the transfer.
I admit I was a little nervous as the account details is just to an individual rather than a company name and had a sleepless night until my tracking number came through the following day!
I shouldn't have worried though it tracked perfectly from Hong Kong, via Dubai, Germany and then UK. Mine did take a couple more days to arrive than Mals but think mine got stuck in the UK with UPS over a weekend.
Hope that helps some of you make your minds up. For me it worked brilliantly and am now the proud owner of a fantastic bit of kit that I couldn't have justified purchasing until it reached around the 2k mark
Oh and no I am not affiliated in any way with Panamoz!
Do you get tax or customs to pay when its delivered? Or the price quoted £1995 covers all? So tempted to upgrade from a 5D Mk1.
Also does anyone use their MK3 for video? Is it easy to use like a camcorder? just fancy been able to take videos aswell
Never heard of them but if you click to buy it the shipping and clearance fees take it to just short of £2400.
