Sorry for the delay, I had a nice bout with some bad chicken or stomach virus.

Everyone have a great and safe Christmas/other holiday/Friday.

To MM, Compare a 20″x30″ prints of D3s and 1D MK IV. then come back to this site and comment. compare them in a real world uses. video capability on Canon DSLR targets the indi film makers, not photographer.
Hi Ezzat san,
> How is the Zeiss performing on the 5D2. Any comments/remarks,
> and do you think it would be a better investment than Canon’s 16-35MM?
I can’t compare them right now, my 16-35/2.8 II copy is crap so I sold already. Perhaps another copy is better than that. My feeling of Zeiss 2,8/21 is better than crap zoom of course :)
17-40/4 < 16-35/2.8 II <<<<<< Zeiss 2,8/21 << 24/1.4 II << TS-E24 II <<<<<< 14-24/2.8
Well, sorry for OT.
Well, long story short I got usable ISO 6400 on EF body so I am very happy.
6400: same as D700 (=D3) or better. finally!
12800: My D700 have fatal banding noise but 1D4 haven’t so better than that too.
H1(25600): Barely usable for monochrome newspaper
H2(51200): for emergency? pretty impossible
H3(102400): gee… Nothing is better than H3.
H3 is cover up for spec sheet, vs D3s obviously. Big company doing child fight but you should know Canon is bigger than Nikon 10 times more. I feel ashamed as a Japanese… Well, technological progress is always welcome.:)
BTW, I can call ISO 12800 is regular ISO. I put these pictures at my flickr so judge them yourself please.
If you are 1D3 user, I recommend renew.
– 1st, plus 2 stops ISO performance progress. better than D700/D3 (not D3s of course :p)
– 2nd, same interface and feelings like your APS-H experience
– 3rd, decent LCD. finally…
I should compare 1D4 and D700 because D700’s imager is equal to D3 so this compare isn’t pointless. I feel 1D4 equal D700 or maybe better than that. It means Canon’s anti-noise technology is 2 years behind from Nikon.
Well… 2 years since heavy loss.
We are experiencing hardships after the Canon was defeated in the 3rd war. So it isn’t sarcasm but I feel it is great. Only 2 years after the defeat, Canon tries to rejoin to the frontline.
Perhaps if they make FFnized 1D, I guess we can get more better ISO performance than Nikon. But Canon didn’t. Why? I don’t know:p
Anyway thanks comment and sorry for my english.
I’m Swiss. In Switzerland I’ve paid 5720 CHF, wich is more or less 5700 USD
