| Aug 4, 2015 at 17:05 | comment | added | Teko | Thank you very much! This is the kind of answer I was looking for :-) Well, it seems like the 1D Mark III is still good in business. ;-) As I already mentioned, I will not be using the camera anymore. It is for someone else just starting off and I wanted to save her some money. So for a "beginner" it's perfect. It still is professional equipment. I just had a lack of knowledge because I gave up on photography in 2008-2009 and I can't compare the old and new technologies in a objective way. | |

Added note on waiting for 5DmkIV, and 6D's AF being primitive; link to wiki template to show lifespan of 5D bodies.
