Oops, doesn't look like Canon haven't advanced the sensor much:

Other than a near 1/2 stop improvement in high ISO performance, it looks similar to the 5D II. Obviously the big change here is with AF. _________________ Graham - Moderator

Have there been any developments regarding the LCD light leak that screws up the camera's metering? I think it is just outrageous for such an anticipated model! Canon should take responsibility and recall every single defective unit.

Yes but it's like this *every* time. I remember with the MarkII the issue with the black dotted highlights.
Canon uses their customers as beta testers of their products and while this is bearable with software, it's really annoying when it's about expensive hardware. _________________ Orio, Administrator

You can't change the aperture while recording, you have to close LV and activate it again to to that. |

Not exactly out of the box as they add a number of accessories, but the technical specs stay identical.
This experiment tended to the actual Cinema range :

From all of those characteristics one major drawback in my opinion is "simply" ergonomics. I find it just awkward to shoot with a camera, unless you have a tripod of course. _________________ Body: Fujifilm X-E1

True: in fact first thing to do after buying a 5dmkII (which is great for pro video, except some issues with the shutter, and better than anything in its price range) is to invest another 1500/2000 euros in rigs, follow focus, shoulder supports, external monitors etc. according to your needs.
Even after buying that you spent only about half the price of anything in the same range of iq.
And that' s why it became so popular in video production.
Don't know anything about mkIII, but surely the video part of the buyers is going to be important and well considered by canon. _________________ C&C and editing of my pics are always welcome

So you prefer ergonomics but the quality of the usual compact cameras over the blessing of FF sensor and a vast choice of lenses?
That's why you can but or build rigs to mount the camera onto.
