it will reduce the camera speed to 3fps. but this feature will come in handy for event shooters
Light leakage issue...
light leakage reported for 5D MkIII [Page 1]: Canon EOS-1D / 1Ds / 5D Forum: Digital Photography Review
Mine have the problem with lens cap on. Lens cap off, totally does not affect the metering whether it top lcd light is on or off.

I believe it happens to almost all cameras and the "problem" is really just nick picking on faults with the mk3..i doubt this little "inconvenience" will affect any photo quality at all. No one is going to shoot without a lens anyways..once you put a lens on, the amount of light entering through the lens is way more than that little "leak" from the LCD panel..it's like a leaking tap in a swimming pool…it's not going to flood the pool..
Gotta love the silent shutter, my friends don't even notice i took photos of them
Ive read the manual and tried changin to silent mode but it still spun the same. Does it work in manual mode? Or am I missing the page?

Just to clarify, it is just a normal 2CR5 6v battery. Not a Canon proprietary item. Can buy off supermarkets like Energizer etc.

If you are shooting for fun, any card type you use is fine depending on what speed you want and how much you want to spend. As others have pointed out, CF cards gives better data throughput and durability.
But for commissioned shooters, the extra SD card slot can save their jobs. Backup is the key.
I set it up so that my SD card stores jpeg and the CF card stores RAW. This way the bigger RAW file takes advantage of the faster throughput of the CF card.
One thing to note, the camera card slot may not take advantage of higher spec SD cards, but your card reader should and that will help alot with transfers times to your computer.
Getting a shot of the moon at it's 'fullness', can produce some very impressive photos however, it is not the optimal time to take shots of the moon. The moon during its various phases, other than the full moon phase, produces shadows that more clearly define its surface. This is because the sun is illuminating it from an angle rather than straight on as in the case of the full moon. I would suggest that you take the full moon shots as planned and then wait 10 to 14 days when the moon is nearing its half phase and take some more shots. Compare the two and see which pleases your eye better.
i went to shoot again but was unable to take any clearer pics.
i tried auto focus and manual focus already.
would really need L lens telephoto for 5d3.
or my copy of 75-300 is not as sharp? hmm
I tried high speed burst on both my SanDisk Ultra and SanDisk Extreme Pro, but to find out that both records the same number of continuous burst before jamming. But I do note that the Extreme Pro is better at clearing off the buffer, albeit not much of a difference from it's Ultra brother.
Sorry I mean sound. Silly me. I tried changing into silent mode using the menu instead of the top LCD. Everything is in order now. Thanks
I don't think there's any sharp super tele lens int he market.
Even the 70-300L isn't sharp if you compare it to a 70-200…
Super teles can be sharp but not at the longest end..that's the trade off i believe for range..you want sharp long range i think you will need a prime tele lens..
i don't know of any company that makes a super tele that is as sharp or comparable to a 70-200 lens..
On a side note, i do belive the Tamron 70-300 is as sharp as the 70-300L except for the 300mm…BUT do note that the Tamron is only $700+ brand new so…i realyl have no complains there.
