5D Mk III vs D800/E, is the 5D3 better at anything?
capertillar:
i am pretty much in agreement... im really only pushing for the 5d3 since i DONT want to deal with 36mp raws... that file size will just be plain stupid for me, as im not a pro photographer... in fact, ill probably shoot sraws with the 5d3 in most situations...
and all the other aspects, well... since we wont be comparing images side by side with shots taken by the d800, i doubt any of it really matters... however, thats no excuse for $500 over the d800! >< (will continue to be disgruntled about the price until it drops to 3k or lower)
hopefully the real world results will balance things out... and canon will realize their error... once again hoping... that buyers taper off after the pre-order period with the early adopters

By offering a dizzying number of Rebel/60D/7D type bodies packed full of megapixels. Canon has been using this strategy to great effect. Most will never upgrade their gear beyond a kit lens, but the ones that do will probably stick with Canon indefinitely. Very few people are going to buy a $3,000-plus body as their first DSLR, so attracting new customers is all about winning people over at the entry-level price point.

They will out megapixel sony to win this battle much to the dismay of some and the joy of others
at that base level its all about the megapixels i am afraid. I still think the new APS-C sensor will be 27MP
but thats a total guess :P
