The train itself should probably retail in the $4 to $8 range, but the Edison could bring as much as $75 to $100. The remaining lot of early 20th-century slides is probably worth only $75 to $100 at retail — unless there are some interesting examples and views of which we are not aware.

With the new Magic Lantern experimental build for the 5D Mark III, we have an amazing 4K and 3.5K 10bit lossless raw mode with Super 35mm continuous recording. Did you know that the Mayans invented the wheel, but only used it for a child’s toy and didn’t really see the point?

Can the Canon 5D Mark III shoot in 4K?

Yes, it seems the 5D Mark III could do 1080/60p all along as well but Canon didn’t enable that either!! The camera can also shoot in 4:3 aspect at 2240 x 1680 so one way to get continuous 4K RAW recording out of the 5D Mark III is to cheat.

Does the 5D Mark III affect the battery life?

The 3.5K and 4K modes of the 5D Mark III do produce a bit more heat and run the battery down a bit quicker than the standard 1080p modes. Your card will get hotter as well.
