I just wanted to jump in and give some information from us (Capture Integration) on how we did the test. Due to time constraints because of Holidays and End of Year(and of course lack of product,we only had it in our hands for a short time) we were not able to perform as comprehensive of a test as we wanted to. Please stay tuned for additional tests on the 1DSMK3 and others that will be available on our website.
Also there is a lot of good information that is being passed back and forth on this forum(thank you members).
It is quite difficult to do one type of test for everyone since everyone I am sure you will all agree, but we will take the comments under advisement for future ones.
PM or post if you have any special requests.
The tests were done with the following equipment:
P21 RAW Scene 1 -1/100 f16 ISO 100 120mm lens Mamiya 645 AFDII
P30+ RAW Scene 1 1/100 f16 ISO 100 120mm lens Mamiya 645 AFD II
P45 RAW Scene 1 1/100 f16 ISO 100 120mm lens Mamiya 645 AFD II
Canon 1DsMarkIII 1/100 f16, ISO 100 85mm
The images are available for download as tiff files linked from our current newsletter that can be accessed with the link below:

The Canon has some nice features and will fit certain market segments and have a place in some photographers arsenal besides a medium format system. As far as image quality goes we will leave it up to you to decide decide.
And yes Doug the P45+ deal with Mamiya 645 AFDII,80mm and 28mm is a killer deal until the end of the year(all of that gear is thrown in-$9k value)! Also if you have Hassy V-Series lenses I just got an adapter in for the Mamiya645AFDII and it seems to work (just tried it briefly, but I am going to put it through its paces, and will post , but so far, so good). So go ahead and use all of your old V-series glass! If you do not want the Mamiya in the promotion contact me for additional info. One more things we have two refurbished P21's that can be had for a few dollars more than the Canon.
Have a great Holiday!
