WOW! I must admit, even if the files were processed and have some noise reduction applied to them (which is what we would do anyway to these type of pictures), it is quite impressive.

Very usable! I have very few pictures taken at 6400 with my 5DmkII that look that good from a noise perspective...

Very nice... to think this time last week everyone was groaning about "soft" and "over processed" sample images from the pre-production samples...

 

[JR]

Yeah...these certainly dont look too soft to my eye anyway...

 

[AnselA]

very nice indeed

I'm sure the ISO 100 images will be even crisper but damn, for 25600 it definitely is usable... Noise is fine enough it may or may not even show up in print, especially printed big on canvas.

Gapless microlenses and some decent algorithm at work... Impressive!

Out of curiousity, has anyone used Nikon D3s? Is mk3 taking its low light crown until 1DX is in the market?

Awesome....can't wait to attach 50mm f1.4 to this camera....IQ should be great if bring it down to f2 to 2.8

Me too but I hope the 50 1.4 AF motor is strong enough to keep up with the 5d3 AF system... I've had lenses struggle to keep up with the 7D and this is supposed to be better/faster... whoa nelly

I'm looking forward to using the 24 f/1.4L II on this. I live for the dark...

Same here. I look forward to using that combo for some sick astro timelapses here in Colorado at 13,000 ft. on the Continental Divide.

I just saw them over @DPR. Wow. Have a 50 1.4 myself. Combined with a 85 1.8 and 28 2.8 I am looking forward to do this type of photography. Waiting with my purchase while saving up for a 17-40 4.0. But with these photographs there is a lot of joy in the waiting! Was worth all the wait, I even guess we gonna get some very usable 51k b/w photographs under these same conditions... 8) Cheers, Pedro

WOW!!!!

I cant wait to get my sigma 85 f1.4 on it and test it out,
Is it just me or is this week going extremely slow!

It is slow...and for me I feel like the next month will be soooooooooooooooooo long to wait for the 1DX when I see how the 5DmkIII promises to be!

True...but I console myself with Chuck Westfall's comment that the 5DIII will have the best high ISO performance of any Canon camera to date...except the 1D X. So if the 5DIII is a measurable improvement over the 5DII, and the 1D X is better than that...it'll be worth our wait!

Hi guys,

Below link is in Norwegian and contains mk 2 vs mk 3 image comparisons with EF 85mm f/1.2L II. To see the images, click on the respective grey line. First appearing image will be mk 3, if you point on the image, corresponding mk 2 image shows...

Can that dynamic range test possibly be right? Worse than the mk2 and 7d?

 

[well_dunno]

My Norwegian is very limited but it looks like that is what the reviewer is suggesting...

Also, it seems to be a pre-production model used for the test...
