I managed to grab a good deal on a Canon 5D mkIII and sold my mkII to ease the pain of purchase. Focussing is quicker and more precise, but the menu system is very different from the MKII
Decided to take it for a trial run up the mountain behind our house today before I cooked Mother's Day lunch:

and in Cardiff:
Had meetings in Cardiff today so took the new Canon with me (waiting for my Pentax to be picked up as several things are wrong with it after a bit of a knock in the Lakes) It's a while since I have been to the Bay area:

I wandered into the centre of Cardiff following my meetings and grabbed some shots along the river Taff as the sun set:
