• UPDATE



    The forum will be moving to a new domain in the near future (canonrumorsforum.com). I have turned off "read-only", but I will only leave the two forum nodes you see active for the time being.

    I don't know at this time how quickly the change will happen, but that will move at a good pace I am sure.

Seems like the 5D iii just got pooped on. For anyone who can stomach 36MP that is.

Luckily for Canon they have the better lens line-up. Which is what really matters.
Yeah totally. So now everyone with 5 d 3 had better stop taking good photos because the d810 pooped on em....
::)
Soooo tired of reading this increscent useless drivel in every single thread

Yeah, Canon just got slaughtered! Damn, and this thing is made in Thailand too! Way better than Japan. Now, not only is the D810 better than the 5D3, Nikon can hopefully recover some of its yearly losses by building it cheaply using practically third-world labor! Yeah!!!! w00T1!!

Soon their new 36.3 MP sensor will be the gold standard in photography. Everyone will stop buying Canon and see that their sensors are crap, and that Nikon just, as you say, pooped all over them; so it's like crap upon crap.


Everyone's picture taking will reach cloud nine with this thing. I can't wait!!! The D820 will be out within the next year too, which will really be the nail in the coffin for Canon!!!!

If I was a D800 owner I would be really pleased with Nikon, as I see hardly no reason at all to upgrade, and consequently they are saving me from GAS and allowing me to comfortably sleep at night knowing I still have some money in the bank. ;D

If Canon did such an incremental upgrade to the 5D Mark III, I am not sure CanonRumors website could handle the amount of angry traffic!!

Are we sure this is serious, or is Nikon just having a laugh?!!

Here we go again. I was waiting for someone who would start another thread of war :) Being serious, the camera looks just fine, and I think this would be a good choice for those who don't own D800/D800E but who wants to jump into full frame from the D7000 and similar crop cameras. The price is similar to that of D800E when it was just released, if I remember correctly. I hope when Canon releases 5d iv, its price won't go higher than $3500, which was the original price of 5d iii.

Could be, but that will depend on what happens to the price of the D800 and D800E. If they drop, and depending on how much, then you those same people could be just as satisfied buying one of them and saving the cash for a lens or something else.

I hope it is a really great camera, and sets some new standards. Will I switch? Nope. I love the competition that will make things better for us all.

Frankly I wish Nikon well, but I'm not that interested in what they do. To be honest, I have a lot invested in lenses, bodies, giizmos, etc., and I spend a lot of time and effort improving my photographic skills. What I have discovered is that it isn't the hardware that is my limiting factor.

Improvements in technology will help me get better, but so far, my beloved 5DIII, pooped on or not, still has plenty of head room for me to improve.

I thought that the 5DIII got "pooped on" by the D800? Is this new "poop" then?

Same old "poop"; but now you can only get the unfiltered "poop". You have to figure out how to get rid of all the funky colored fake "poop" yourself ;D

Competition is good! Challenging competition is even better!

In the end it's up to the customer’s needs, taste and choice which product is really competitive.
(And sometimes to the marketing departments).

For still photography the improvements overall seem incremental,
with just one exception: "The d810 has the same AF module as the D4S",
says the German Nikon website.

So, there will be a D4S out soon as well.

The biggest upgrade though is in video mode with 1080 p60 available
and many other video details improved.

Yes, this looks like a very good piece of equipment.

I feel sorry for Nikon owners.
It doesn't matter what model they buy, even when first released, as a few months down the track, Nikon will bring out a new and improved version of it making your current model obsolete and now worth substantially less than it cost you. Remember the D600 then the 610?
Canon does hang onto models much longer, and hence they have better re-sale value later on as say, after 3 years, your Canon may be just superseded, but if you had an equivalent Nikon, it would be 3 models old and practically worthless.

I'm not saying that Nikon cameras are no good, in fact, they are very good indeed, but constant model updates is not how you keep up the perceived and resale value of products.
It also makes it more difficult regarding spare parts too, as many models mean lots of parts and distributors only have so much space and money for parts.
