Is canon going to come back?

RLPhoto: then dont say it´s a better body. say it´s a better body for you. I just try to find out which one is better for me.

@dtaylor
14MP=Bigger pixels=better noise performance?
If not i am misinformed.
You cant scale it up, honestly there are people who tried it and it doesnt work. iStock doesnt like files without exifs.

It's a better overall body.

Yeah, the 5d3 is trying to be pleasing everybody. But i am not everybody, non of us is everybody. I know that the d800 is the better camera for me but i am trying to find out if it justifies switching sides just for that fact, or if canon is going to be far better when they release their new technology.

Technology moves on, and it will get better. The d800 has the better sensor and the 5d3 is a better multi-media camera. I wouldn't jump ship for either one.

...don't let the door hit you on the way out...

I'd like to help him out. Which way did he come in?

 

[leolol]

But canons full frame announcments are done for some time and they kinda dissappointed me with their politics and products etc.

I tried them both and the 5D3 was a better body for me. Ergonomics on the Nikon are for shite. Don't get me started on the menus either. I'm far from a fanboy, I just know when to balance the pro's and con's and make a rational decision. I simply cannot purchase a ~$3k body based upon one feature, a feature which severely limits my lens choices and in the end would ctapult me into spending far more on the few and I mean very few higher quality Nikon lenses that the 800 is a match for. The 5D3 worked with all my lenses and will have a much lower ROI.

Still awaiting the 7D Mark II!!!

Fair enough, and that's a really good goal. But...I can think of a dozen or more better ways to determine that, and no ways worse than posting this topic that you posted on this forum.

So i´m in the market for a full frame camera right now. I only have FF lenses for EF mount, so switching would at least mean the loss of a lens or two (money reasons).
Right now canon is far behind others. Or lets just say it: Nikon.
I want to stick with canon but if they are going to make their first competitive body in like 5 years i really have to consider switching....

Yawn...troll. Please go ahead and get your Nikon. Take your misinformed negativity elsewhere.

Pixel peeper and spec-list sniffer. True photographers use the camera (and the whole system) first before making an opinion. Not the other way around.

+1

but I would actually be surprised if he is in the market for a full frame camera at all.

 

[Alrik89]

Always the same story:
I don't like the actual products of brand x (e.g. Canon, Nikon, Practika, Zenit,...) anymore.
So, i come to the following conclusion:
NOBODY LIKES THAT BRAND ANYMORE!!!!111
AND IT WILL DISAPPEAR FASTER THAN MY TAX MONEY IN GREECE!!!!1111

What a bullsxxt... the world doesn't turn around you.

 

[shutterwideshut]

For you!

For Many.

+100... And for so many Canonistas who can afford to buy a 5DIII body.

+1... Go ahead and jump over to Nikon. And good luck with the after sales services down there.... Here's a link to prove myself: http://www.stuckincustoms.com/2012/10/31/bad-experience-with-nikon-professional-services/

For you!

well, "for you" it's only a better camera at low iso and controlled lighting conditions like studio and landscape. If I were you I'd just buy the bloody camera already and stop whining. Or perhaps you should apply for R&D at Nikon because it seems like you're more worried about tech than actual photography.

Still fun to read it :-> ... but indeed given the large differences in requirements and esp. the amount of people who exhausted their budget to buy a $3500 camera body and those who cannot/don't want to afford it at all it's very tricky to get a unbiased view (if there is such a thing).

Better ask "I want to shoot xyz, already have got xyz gear, have xyz $$$ for lenses+body now and would be ok to invest xyz $$$ more later on".
