Yep it's awesome. Having an intervalometer and a bulb timer built in is really useful, not to mention the more advanced features.

If your card/camera can handle it, and you can live with the workflow, the raw video is pretty amazing - with a fast card the 5DmkIII will do 1080p@30fps and every frame is 14bit just like a raw still. It can do crop video too so good for planetary imaging.

And even if your camera/card won't handle raw video you can still crank up the bitrate on the h264 recording and get much better quality video out of it.
