For now, I can say that LiveView is actually a lot more usable in darkness on 5D3, compared to 5D2, probably a 2-3 stop improvement. Certainly a lot more than the 0.5 stops rumoured on some forums.
Thx for the first impressions- it's valuable to me because I trust you to be more independent than the usual "I bought it for $3500, it must be stellar" vs "I cannot afford it, it has to be bad" forum talk.
Btw, the alleged 0.5 stops improvement concerns the iso noise in raw shots, and I must admit myself after comparing iso samples from 5d2 and 5d3 myself that up to iso3200, it doesn't make much of a difference. The one thing that is more of a problem on the 5d2 seems to be stronger banding, and this limits raising shadows much more than iso noise - the 5d3 has cleaner sensor readouts...
