The 5D mk3 is a camera that is meant to be a jack of all trades, meant to take back some of the space the D700 took. Too bad that it still cannot meet it in terms of low light performance from what I've seen.

One area the 5D beats the D800 is video. What, but it doesn't shoot RAW video. True, but Canon made the sensor 22.3MP just so it would have a better pixel pitch for video. Canon also put in some very video centric controls that the D800 lack.

The question is will those controls and superior aspect ratio for video be enough to keep pros from switching for the RAW video? I think the extra $700 for the 5D Mk 3 will put a lot of people off from switching, even if the D800 had slightly worse noise performance.
