5D III high ISO samples

[TAR]

just found this link for more 5D III samples

you can change the nr from 01 to 18... and you can find ISO 25600 and 6400 and other low iso samples ..IMO 6400 seems usable ..25600 is not usable..wht you guys think?

It's not usable, but if you were to look at some of the indoor college basketball photos I took with my t2i this past year at 3200 and 6400, all of a sudden even the 5d3 25000 iOS is really not all that bad. I'm actually really excited about being able to take images in the 12800 iOS range and then post process for use. I think this will give me the ability to hand hold a lot of shots inside dark churches and keep the shudder at better than 500/sec, which is an amazing idea.

With the heavy noise reduction, I would say 25600 isn't usable for critical work, but I'd be interested to see images without noise reduction, as I think it could be improved. 6400 is good enough for stock agencies though and would extend my ability to shoot wildlife at dusk, where I have been pretty limited up to now.

Where's the link to the rest of the images? I can only see the skiier pic and it's an ISO 200 JPG.

You have to change the URL yourself.

It goes up to 18.

ZOMG, the DPR has a set of 5D3 low light high ISO shots from a pre-prod. Given the usual DPR testing "issues", I think ISO 12800 is very usable on this cam. 8)

This one is 25,600 ISO.

Check that, after 100% pixel-peeping, ISO 25600 is very usable on the 5D3, given the worst-case scenario testing of DPR. ISO 102400 looks like any celcam pic, good enough for BaceFook .

While it's easy to pick apart this image, for all purposes, this is incredible for being done at 25600. On the 5d2 this would have been almost unusable except for small internet files... If you're in a crunch and dont mind NR, this is pretty darn good. (Also keep in mind this is the most the D800 could go)... that's saying something.

 

[sloeb]

they look very good as expected. It is clearly no D4 or 1DX but then again, it is also not the same price.

however I was already happy with the results of the prior one so this ads a safety net. It will be interested if it can beat the D800 downsampled to 22MP. I expect it may be a lot closer than most think.

Agreed.

If you consider D3s is still the king of high ISO that is available to buy (D4 and 1D X ain't yet), the following samples at ISO 12800 have more or less similar level of noise compared to this one at ISO 25600 by 5D III, provided that 5D III has almost 10 more MP than D3s.

Diditalrevtv.com has a hands on video with 1600-highest iso compared to M II. yes its video of pictures but you get an idea of the improvements.

 

[Viggo]

Why the crappy post-processing? They all look very polished and no crispeness at all. Same with the 1d X samples. Who does post on these??

 

[Astro]

It's not usable

for what?

i say it is pretty usable for some uses.

I just downloaded the high ISO images from DPR. All the images were taken at 3EV, so they are real low light images.

On my screen, I could see the noise at ISO 102400, but the 8.5 X 11 prints were sharp and clean. I then printed 3 more, 51200, 25,600, 12800, and they also suprised me. I could show any of these prints to someone, and they would not suspect that they were high ISO unless they had a magnifier.

These were jpegs with no additional processing by me, I would expect RAW to be better.

I certainly plan to use the ISO 25600 freely whenever I absolutely need it in low light for a fast shutter speed.

Canon has done some real work on the blacks, I can move the black slider in LR4 all the way to the right without seeing any banding.

Here is a link from a canon site. ;D ;D ;D ;D

In the Neterlands Is the canon 5Diii

€ 3.499,00!!!!! Euro's

 

[Viggo]

Do not worry, here's a sample from when the mk4 came out, and the posting on it is also horrible, and at least I know this isn't even close to what can be done in Lr.

Seeing as the 5D3 got + 2 stops in both NR and ISO improvement and other here suggest that IS0 12800 is usable

what do you guys think the upgrade for the 7D2 will be +1 stop to 3200 or +2 to 6400? given that most people do not recommend using 7D above 1600....know this thread is about the new 5D but as a 7D owner who is thinking about a 2nd camera later this year, and since Canon are definitely keeping old 5D2 as entry-level FF, do you think the new 7D Mark II will be constrained in these stakes ???

yes they look more then okay!

I have seen DPR samples, and have the same positive opinion as yours. The detail is lower @ 12800, which it is expected but still good enough for that ISO. Those images represent a smaller print since they are not full size, but overall I believe 12800 is good for smaller prints. I am pretty sure I won't need to use ISO 12800 that much, so I am happy with these results.
