Those who have upgraded from 5D MkII to MKIII

Do you think it was worth it?

I have a 5D MKII and the moment and on release of the MKIII I couldn't see much point in upgrading, however, now I'm getting tempted.

Therefore for those who have done the upgrade, what advantages have you seen with the MKIII and do you think it's worth upgrading to?

If not maybe I'll hold off and buy a 1D X in the future.

Thanks

Jase

P.S. Maybe a mod could change title to read MKIII

This feedback is kind of what I expected.. the AF and the increased fps is what's attracting me.

I shoot all sorts really from Landscape, Macro, Nature,Motorsports (hence wanting the increased fps). I've got a few good lenses however I'd love a decent telephoto so I could put the money towards that.

Maybe I'll hold off until the Focus on Imaging show and have a play with the range of Camera's there.

Your comments are interesting Phate, I think the only way I'll know is by having a play with one so I'll try to do that as the MKIII specs seem to mak it a better all rounder. I'm already building a list of stuff I want to check out/get at the Focus on Imaging show so will probably wait until then and compare my MKII to the MKIII and that to the 1D X.
