It’s here! It’s here! I had a note waiting on my door friday night that read “You missed a UPS delivery that requires a signature, we’ll be back on Monday”. Grrrrrrrr. Isn’t that the worst?! And it ONLY happens to IMPORTANT packages! (But I am thankful that they didn’t leave this baby on the front porch! yikes!) So I waited patiently until this morning and it came…. in all of it’s glory! To be honest, from the box, it looks the same. So what’s so GREAT about the Canon 5D Mark III….well, I’m going to officially find out today during my engagement session this evening. However, from just playing with it around the house for 40 minutes this morning,
this is what I’ve noticed as a “first impression”. It’s BULKIER. I don’t mind this. It just feels more INTENSE! …. the question is… is it?! Welp, with ISO capabilities to 25,600…. I’d say that’s a big improvement from the Mark II. It’s also rocking 61 focus points and I can FINALLY USE THEM! Lets be honest….. there is A LOT of recomposing happening with the Mark II because the center focal point was the ONLY reliable one!! What does this mean? A TON of soft images. Now, I have focal point OPTIONS and this changes everything! I’m PUMPED!!!! The backend of the body is more intricate and just simple things like the “playback” option is something to get used to but I think I’m loving it already!! So overall…. I’m EXCITED. I’ll do a more in depth review I’m sure…. but for now, here are the FIRST EVER shots with this new baby… and of course, what better subject to use than MY BABY! Ps. If you want to know if a camera is FAST…. trying focusing on the eyes of a 5 month old bich-poo! I think Bokeh is going to give this new camera a run for it’s money!! But so far, so good. I’m impressed! (Just waiting on Adobe to continue to update Lightroom 4 so that it’s processing time for Mark III images is faster!)
So here are some shots of Bokeh’s napping process. First, he finds “his spot” on the bed….
Big YAWN! (Focused on Nose)
Then he lays down… and gives me the “leave me alone mom, I’m tired” look… (ps. using some right focal points here… tack sharp!)
Then he’s OUT…. for a least 5 minutes:)….. (more shots taken with left and right focal points)
Ps. If you want a more IN DEPTH review right NOW… head over to Jessica Claire’s blog! She did a review and I was SO glad it was a good one since I had already purchased mine!!
Thanks for reading!
