DPReview 5D3 review out

[briansquibb]

In theatre shots I always overexpose and the move to correct it gets rid of most of the noise.

I use Nik DFINE to finish the noise off.

I find iso 12800 very acceptable and iso6400 is getting good (for prints, noise definitely shows up more on the screen)

I don't think there are any shots I could take with a D800 that I couldn't take with a 5D3, whereas there are situations where a 5D3 will get a shot that a D800 can't.  Therefore, for me at least, the 5D3 is a better all-round camera.  And because I don't specialise in any one area of photography, that's what really matters.

It's sad to see DP Review go down as hard as it has.  I've used it a lot over the years and must say that it doesn't even really feature on my list of good review sites anymore.  I only use it when I want to view camera specifications.
