The biggest perceived problems with the 5D3 is the D800 exists. Putting aside the resolution, the D800 still has much more shadow recovery potential, and is cheaper. The sensor from the 5D3 is hardly different from the 5D2, and people were expecting a bit more there. However, the rest of the specs of course are nothing to complain about. Canon have been doing things differently of recent years, and this is no exception.
As for me, I don't see myself getting a 5D3 within a year, and I'm glad I didn't wait for it over the 5D2 now. It doesn't suit my main style nor fill any gaps I have in what I want to do. I'm more likely to snap a hypothetical 7D2 as soon as that exists, or possibly a future high MP full frame if Canon don't price it far beyond the 5D3.
