5D Mark III ISO 100 RAW's - NEW

[altenae]

Abcourse they look somewhat soft !!!!!

Zero sharpening is apllied.
I guess you are viewing raw with a viewer (or whatever)

You have to process the RAW files in CS5 with the Camer RAW 6.7 Beta and see how much detail is present in the RAW file............

raws are soft too

Plugged the raw, especially the turquoise dress shot, plugged it into photoshop with the beta camera raw... Sharpened a tad, looked quite impressive... When the 5d2 first came out and the realization (at the time) that I couldn't afford the camera, it really changed how i viewed the camera, how I perceived... I could see any photo and point out ever flaw in it taken by that camera... after owning that camera the viewpoint has changed... fact is we can analyze and pick apart and see what we want to see... it's human nature and basic psychology... The measurebators can have a field day when the camera comes out and Dxo and DPR does their in depth tests... In the end, still to this day, there are people who love the 7d and use it professionally, and others who call it soft, say it has low IQ, etc... It's not going to please everybody, but for me, I like what I see and the potential.

especially the turquoise dress shot

Funny I used the same shot...
All I can say (I speak for myself) it looks very very good.

I am very excited with the new 5d Mark III..........

 

[nighstar]

OMG. Thats the decision maker for. I will definitely switch to Nikon. Looks like from compact camera. There's nothing to wait for (test, reviews). It shows clearly what Canon did with it's SUPER digic5+....sad.

bye bye!

 

[mauro.canon]

Well maybe sad...
Maybe it can be disabled in the menu ?

Well for me no Issue I NEVER take JPG's.
If for some reason I have made a wrong exposure or whatever there is MUCH more to save with a RAW file.

Maybe Canon expected more people to use RAW files with a 3500 EURO DSLR....
But indeed the JPG are a bit dissapointed ( so where the 5D Mark II jpg and we know how good this DSLR is) , but maybe the sharpness setting was at 0 ???

No you don't. A RAW file should be crisp. If it's not, there's an issue with the sensor.

Excuse me ?
Something wrong with the sensor ?

All RAW files look a bit soft as they are unprocessed. How soft depends on the quality of the lens and the focussing.

 

[Michael7]

If you are getting soft RAW files when using sharp lenses on a tripod in good light conditions, it's probably a heavy AA filter or a soft sensor. See the 7D.

I have processed most of the RAW files and they look good.
If someone else thinks otherwise then they should not buy the 5D Mark III, period.
It is very simple if you don't like what you see then don't buy it.

Try reading all topics when the 5D Mark II was released.
Almost the same complains.
Well we all know what the 5D Mark II is capable of.

Sorry for off-topic, but what do you use for processing 5D Mark III RAW files?

 

[altenae]

Use CS5 and the Adobe Camera RAW 6.7 Beta.

I've done my share of criticizing Canon lately, and have the smites to show for it, but I don't understand what the whining is about. The sharpness of the raw files compare favorably to my 5DC and 1DsIII. Hit it with a quick unsharp mask, and the images are tack sharp. As others have suggested, if the jpegs are too soft for your fancy, then crank up the in camera sharpening.

 

[grahamsz]

Anyone know when Lightroom 4 is likely to get the upgrade for this? I was hoping the production release would handle these files right out of the gate, but it appears not to

Agree.
I am also very happy with the RAW's after doing some unsharp mask
I read only whining topics....

I guess we are the only two who are going to buy the 5D Mark III

 

[Martin]

Of course RAW files should be sharper. people who think different has no idea about that. Some people will buy everything because it's new. That's why producers don't care. There is some issue with new sensor for sure, I also have canon gear but I am not a fanboy of any gear and can give a honest opinion. Think that Canon focus towards software and digic which is really bad idea as many can see on provided samples. Of course it's ok for people who had a compact cameras before but for dslr users it's really a joke at ISO 100.

 

[altenae]

Then my 1ds mark III was also a joke.
And my current 1d mark iv.

I think you are a joke.

 

[atrocious]

Dear Martin,

Long time lurker here. I was not planning on registering but I simply could not take any more of your little show. I have been taking notice of your consistent behavior throughout several topics and just decided to skim through your posts and oh, boy... You began, months before 5DM3 was released, complaining about this and that, how you used to be a Nikon-guy a year ago and were seriously contemplating going back, and you go on to complain about leaked 5D specs, and when 5D comes out, you complain a little bit more, followed by further complaints about sample images. Each time with a definitive statement on how that is it and you are certainly switching back to Nikon. "I know it is going to be expensive but I have to do it". OHHH-KAY! We are bloody idiots on the verge of jumping ship and you are that guy who will give the final nudge, eh? And if that's not it, that's even worse... Like if you do not have a hidden agenda and are simply somewhat neurotic. Because people are taking your comments seriously and responding to your monological rants.

Please, let it go.

Horizontal banding may be gone. Vertical is still there. These images don't have enough bottom level dark to really say what the degree is.

Unfortunately, I measure ISO 100 5D3 dynamic range 11.1 stops (screen level) and ISO 100 5D2 dynamic range 11.2 stops. .

Wow, was not expecting that after another 3.5 years. It's not even going to be the best Canon has done .

The only hope is that the mask area is not valid on the 5D3 for testing this. I did note that the top mask area gave way too high values so they must be storing something secret up there. Maybe they are at the side too then? Although the side seemed to be usable for this test. I hope I am wrong about that.

It may be that Sony hold all the patents necessary to improve DR at ISO100 without going to a much different technology??

 

[Michael7]

Very disappointing new RAW samples at ISO 100.

Four years for this?

 

[tasteofjace]

It should be noted (and perhaps already has been?), but These images are still from a Pre Production model.
