The 5D MIII with its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon 5D MIII will provide you with greater detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The newer 5D MIII is going to have an edge in sensor tech.
