F I think the MKIII will look just as good anyway.
I'm with you on this. If the 5DIII quality is as clean as it's seeming to be, and measures up to a full 1000 lines... then even with price being no issue... I think I'd still take the 5DIII over the C300. I like the FF35 look better, and then besides the 4:2:2 codec... there's really nothing else the C300 is offering. Heck, I'd even take the 5DIII's 4:2:0 all-I codec over the C300's 4:2:2 long-GOP one. Intraframe motion looks SO much better than the mushy long-GOP motion rendering. After working with the Intra-codec GH2 for some time now, I went back and looked at some of the first long-GOP GH2 stuff I shot and it looked like 60i interlaced footage. Gross.
Edit: Wait a sec... the Nikon D800 has uncompressed 4:2:2 output with three different sensor modes for $2999? Why am I even looking at the 5DIII? I thought this was only going to be in the $7000 D4? Great news!!!
