The D800 is ~25% better at low light sports shooting? really? Seems a bit fishy to me. Most of what I have read indicates they are reasonably close only if you downsample the D800 to the Mkiii resolution. I have used the mkiii in near total darkness and have had a few real keepers at iso 12.8k.

I was pretty sure they would just bump the mkii score by a few points but I was really thinking it might have been 84-85. I guess Canon glass is just that much better on average? The difference in samples that I have seen is not that great.

That said, I do a lot of landscape photography and totally would have switched had I not just bought some L lenses when the rebates were tempting around xmas.

Sorry dude, not fake : http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/Cameras/Camera-Sensor-Database/Canon/EOS-5D-Mark-III

Better ISO score was kinda expected (way higher actually) but I'm very very dissapointed with ALL the scores and ofcourse the overall score...

And they dare to ask $500 more than D800 for this crap with no improvements over the 5DII.

Now lets see how bad 1DX will suck compared to D4, lol even to D3s...

GJ Canon, thanks for stealing our money!


ps: Don't flame me for whining, open your eyes and see that Canon is the one to blame here!

not there anymore. it was a screwup. if the 5diii loses to the d800 in iso sensitivity then dxo mark is completely invalid in my book. Although, as of right now it's hardly realistic.
Click to expand...

so you claim that it should have better ISO score than D800, so pretty much better than D4/D3s? lol

5D Mark III data is coming up blank for me also.

FYI, the total score tends to be biased towards higher and higher MP cameras and at base ISO where I almost never shoot, so I wouldn't be surprised at all to see the D800 come out ahead over the 5DIII simply because it has more megapickels. I like to compare dynamic range and SNR at medium ISOs (like 400-3200) which isn't really represented in any final scoring number. Any camera is more than good enough at ISO 100 these days, and I almost never shoot beyond 3200/6400 so five and six-digit ISOs don't matter to me either.
