How is the 5dmk3 the better camera than the d800.

The price comparison was between 5D3 and Nikon D600.

Have a nice day.

Hi,
- 22MP vs 24MP
- 19 AF vs 39 AF
- 4.9 FPS vs 5.6 FPS
- non Flash Sync vs Flash Sync

Based on the spec the price of 6D should be very close to D600.  However, you know recently Canon's price is not good.  Thus, I would guess the price of 6D will be about 2500.
    Nikon D600 only had 9 out of the 39 AF points are cross type, so if the rumor Canon 6D get the 7D AF, 19AF point will be all cross type. IMHO, 10 more cross AF point had more significant advantage over the 2MP and 1FPS disadvantage... so the question is the price.  ::)

   Have a nice day.

How many Canon users (or expert photographers) would give up the (chanche to use the) precious Canon White (or black) Lenses for a few hundred dollars / euros?

Sorry, it was just an Off-Topic comment about the Dark Side.  ;)
May the Force be with you, BTW.  :)

5DIII instead of an 800E?  Thats nuts.  The Nikon sensor is a generation or two ahead of the Canon.

Why take a step back?

Probably Mr elbeasto thinks that lenses are more important than bodies.

EF / L vs. Nikkor lenses?

I think that many Canon-people would like the Nikkor 14-24mm (actually, non-autofocusing adapters for this lense exist), whereas Nikon-people would like the 70-200 F/4 (IS or not)... but Canon lenses cannot fit Nikon mount, as far as I know.

I am almost a beginner, and love both kinds [100mm Macro IS L vs 24-105 IS L & 70-200 F/4 IS L].


I must admit that sometimes I only carry the 100mm Macro as a walk around lense (with my 5D classic) even when a macro-photography sesssion is not planned, just because I like its colours, sharpness and bokeh.

9 (rounded) blades vs 8: 100L IS bokeh should be (is) nicer.

Bokeh is generally considered important for portraits.

The two Canon 100mm Macro lenses aren't portrait lenses: for a wedding, I'd probably follow the advice of a 100mm F/2 or 135mm F/2 L.

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: DSLR and zoom lens for ~$1,000.00 USD?
« on: August 29, 2012, 11:23:24 AM »
Buying used bodies allows bigger savings than buying used lenses.

I bought my first DSLR two years ago: an used 5D classic and a new 24-105 F/4.
Previously, I used a powershot S5 IS.

I would suggest an used 40D or 50D, or a 550D, plus a decent zoom: more than enough to start. A (cheap) prime and a tripod should follow.

Once someones starts, it is more important to try to learn (read, switch to AV/TV/M, shoot, watch the results) .

the Nikon D800 ... is several hundred dollars cheaper.[/i]

Is everyone so sure?

What is the price difference between
5DMkIII + 270EX Speedlite
and
D800 + a set of new CF cards + a new external HD + a PC(Mac) upgrade to handle its files?
