EOS Bodies / Re: 5D Mark III/X Variation & New Flagship Speedlite? [CR1]

« on: February 18, 2012, 10:39:21 AM »

5D3 with 1dmark4 AF-sounds for my like selling my gear definitely and switching to Nikon finally. I wait with my Canon gear for better information. I heard a lot and read a lot about 1d AF, there's no match for even Nikon d700. Hope that's not true. I am really pissed about this AF problems in Canon. If they finally do something better and reliable in sport and studio I will stay, otherwise goodbye. Think a lot about this and that;s my decision maker

Sure MK IV can't focus..........sure........

If they finally do something better and reliable in sport and studio I will stay, otherwise goodbye

Goodbye......who cares

Like I said on all photography forums.
I wish it was about photography.

It's not.
Tell us you are going to sell your Canon gear and all other not
important issues have nothing to do with photography.

I love photography.

However I am SICK of all the topics about switching to Nikon
Topics about Canon cannot deliver.

Please stop this !!!!!
Who cares you are switching !!!!!
Who cares you are going to sell all your Canon gear.

Let me tell you this, if you can't make good photos with the current Canon equipment your are everything
except a photographer.

I switch to Nikon, I will sell all my Canon gear, Canon is not brave anymore,etc,
etc. PLEASE STOP.

How old are we ?
Take some nice pictures instead of all these stupid  topics on all photography forums.

You  must be joking !!!!
What in the hell is wrong with the current MP on Canon camera's

Go outside and take some pictures instead of these stupid subjects.

Another thing - a mildly diffraction-softened image responds well to deconvolution sharpening, so one should not be too afraid of it.

True.

One thing is certain the amount op resolving power of lenses will end somewhere. (not sure when  )

@torger

Diffraction issue does not have anything with the format to do

I have to disagree.
Pixel density matters !

DLA (Diffraction Limited Aperture) is the result of a mathematical formula that approximates the aperture where diffraction begins to visibly affect image sharpness at the pixel level. Diffraction at the DLA is only barely visible when viewed at full-size (100%, 1 pixel = 1 pixel) on a display or output to a very large print. As sensor pixel density increases, the narrowest aperture we can use to get perfectly pixel sharp images gets wider.

If I read this , I would say 18MP on a 1.6 has a lower DLA aperture then 18MP on a full frame.
The pixel density is higher with the 18mp on a 1.6 ??
The smaller the pixel size the lower the DLA Aperture

What makes diffraction a challenge is the resolving power, 36 megapixel on FF is just as "bad" as 36 megapixel on medium format.

The 1.6 crop is using less of the lenses glass (resolve power) then the same lens on a FF.
So I would say the FF 36 MP will resolve more detail then 36MP on a 1.6

EOS Bodies / Re: How does Canon respond to the D800?

« on: February 09, 2012, 12:59:37 PM »

it would seem to favor the D700: press button="good picture", vs. press button, download to <software>, make x+y+z manipulations="good picture". 

Unbelievable this kind of comments.
And this is a photography forum....sure...

Very nice the  noise in the Nikon D800....
I will switch to Canon !!!! (funny me)



I would say Canon or Nikon...both have superb DSLR's
Go outside and take pictures instead of telling us that you are going to switch.

Who cares !!!!!

Wel they respond with nice clean images.....instead of NOISE in ISO 320...yeah...

I think it's time for the Canon fanboys to take some real pictures rather than cleaning/polishing and fondling their lenses and whining about gears that is a decade away

If you want the absolute best of the best get the 1D X. That's where all the newfangled great stuff is in or make do with what you have. IS or more megapixels won't make your pictures better, learning to live with your gear and using it to it's limits will.

+1 (I am with you 100%)

, I feel like all the opponents to the higher megapixel cameras, are people that have spent years of savings on 5D body and two or three lenses, and are terrified  that they precious investment will become outdated/obsolete

Not really.
What I meant with childish is the switch to other brands everytime somthing new is announced.

It also takes a while for my 70-200 II & 400 II to be obsolete

When Canon started the Megapixel race the only thing you read on forums was:

Why  can't Canon do like Nikon.
Less MP and clean high ISO images (like d700/d3s)

Now Canon is doing exactly this ( flagship 1dx) !
Always complain. So many forum topics where people are switching to Nikon ? why ?

I am certain 99% will not need 36mp images.
I would say go outside and take some pictures.
All current cameras (Canon and Nikon) will do just fine for most of us. (I would say all of us)

I really hope Canon will not go into MP race.

Hope Canon goes high resolution on the next 5D (30MP with a 1.6x crop mode with faster FPS would be really nice).

I hope not.
21 MP on FF is enough..
Beter noise and dynamic range is what I need (and most others to I guess)

Unbelievable..
