5D3 review: If you don't own Canon, buy the Nikon D800
dilbert:
From a local newspaper:
Verdict: This is a wonderful camera. If you hvae Canon lenses and want to move into the blissful realm of full-frame capture, then the 5D Mk III is for you. But the MkII is just as good for stills and costs $1600 less. If you already have a 5D Mk II (as we do), there is no pressing reason to upgrade. If you are starting from scratch with nothing invested in lenses and accessories, then look at the Nikon D800. It has superior ergonomics, a more luxurious feel and higher resolution sensor, and produces uncompressed video. And it is several hundred dollars cheaper.[/u]

They've clearly not used both cameras. Or perhaps they just shoot at ISO 100.

That lies in the hands of the bee holder.

I've tried to argue this point time and time again. The 5D2 isn't as good as anything regarding the 5D3. The 5D2 isn't a bad camera. The 5D3 just happens to be better, at everything.

Landscape shot, tripod mounted, manually focused, ISO 100. How is the 5DIII better?
(If you say 'becuase it has one more MP', I'll scream... ;) )
