Just an observation, because I have been reading all the 5D III comments about its new auto focus system. I was expecting more of a “wow” factor from everyone since the 5D III is supposed to have the same AF system as the 1D X.

The reason I expected more “fanboi” comments is my experience with a 1D IV. When I went from the 5D II and the 7D to the 1D IV it was a very noticeable jump in performance. Keep in mind I am not talking all the new gadgets and gizmo’s like additional points. I am talking performance, precision and accuracy.

Keep in mind I have read all the Canon propaganda put out by their rep’s, obviously those express the “wow” factor. The responses back from those who are buying the camera seem to be a bit less overwhelmed.
