Is the 5D Mk. III a worthy upgrade from the 5D Mk. II? Or are the changes so minimal that theirs no reason to make the switch? I use the camera for mainly video.

Nope, got a mk2, too, and sometimes i contemplate switching it for a GH4 or a mk3. But for the type of stuff I do it would make way more sense to invest in proper audio or renting locations instead. The only difference would be 4k or RAW 1080p but usually its not the image quality that makes or breaks amateur productions.

waste of money. stick with the 5Dii.

better off with an 80D at this point if you just want video since it has the new sensor. or blow your money on the 5Div when it comes out at the end of the month but itll only be marginally better. but what you have will be fine for a couple more years until 4K really starts to take off. then if canon cant get their shit together youll probably need to abandon ship.

If you want use the 5D mk III for RAW vidéo yes.

But you have to learn a lot, get fast CF, lot of computer memory and storage.
