I will repeat what I posted in reply to another mark iii owner's post but as a separate topic here:
I just bought a mark iii used and have shot it for a week now. I own a nikon d4 with pro lenses full frame for absolutely serious work and top end sports but it now sits on the kitchen desk unused. I am astonished at how good this camera is. The stacked and backlit Sony Exmoor 1" cmos cropped sensor is very good and can shoot in bursts at 14 fps or 5 fps if each frame refocused....and the image stabilization is the best of any camera I have ever shot. I also own a sony a7 I shoot 35 year old canon full frame fd lenses on which is a full frame camera. It also sits in the camera cabinet unused now. If this thing had existed 25 years ago I never would have bought the first dslr. the analysis of 90% of the quality for 20% of the cost as a value is dead on. I don't shoot for Vogue or National Geographic and this thing is so handy and so good it is amazing....just amazing. It has effectively added about 20 yards to my hand held ability to shoot. With long arms my hold is not the greatest but this thing and on video as well is terrific. The leaves are about 15 yards away and the power shovel was about 1,000' away....hand held. The photos of my big champion level borzoi six year old male, Far Field Remoulade, Rom, was about 20 to 25 yards away....just to show you the range I actually experience with it...all hand held on gray days light this time of year. Lastly is a stump about 35 yards away in a nature preserve area where it is shallow and the wild fowl love to spend time...just lots of detail and contrast. Again, hand held. You can download to see the exif data on them. Mostly just cropped or perhaps lightened or darkened slightly in post but generally about what was shot. I am able to shoot the sensor with neutral exposure value compensation and it lets the iso float beautifully. I added a directional shotgun cardioid stereo mike on top for video so the two mics in the camera don't pick up my breathing when or if my eye is to the eye piece and an l bracket to mount easily on tripod heads as I am starting to shoot videos with it as well as stills. 50 years I've been a stills guy. You can shoot this thing in slow motion and the video from it is rather good. I have a good video of that orange shovel taking broken concrete and feeding a machine which turns it back into gravel from about 1,000' away that is just terrifically good and detailed. All around camera? Pretty darned close to it and I bought it used....not new. the first image is my camera with the shotgun cardiod directional mic on it ready with L bracket for standard grooved tripod head on base or side to turn easily 90 degrees for change in perspective. I added one more showing the cardiod mic on one but without the dead cat wind noise fluff on it. Fairly small and adds little weight. The L bracket machined out of 6061 aluminum is a very practical addition for the standard grooved tripod or monopod head at little cost. machined for the camera so you can get to everything with it on.
