Re: 5D Mk III for Stills and Run-and-gun?
 

Really depends how much stills vs video. If you really want camcorder conveniece with DOF then the fs100 or the Canon C100 are better choices for shooting video. You'll spend as much kitting out a 5dmkiii as a c100 for video.

But if you really shoot lots of stills, the 5d is a dream. I love the Images i get out of it.with the new firmware update clean hdmi out should add a lot of new options for video.
