Nikon's 2.300$ D750 said to best 5DIII

Quite an excited review of the Nikon D750. Sample pictures look really great. Especially high iso looks impressive. Says he also worked with the 5DIII and that it does not compare for his work (weddings).

Agree with reviewer that Canon has work cut out for them selves trying to make the 5DIV competitive (either by slashing the price range or jumping the specs).

All the better for us that Canon is under stiff pressure to deliver this time around. This time there will no excuse that Nikon pulled a rabbit.

And the purpose of this thread is what?

Do we really need yet another Canon vs Nikon thread?

To some photographers, the Nikon will be the best for them
To some photographers, the Canon will be best for them.

Why does everything have to be a competion?????

It doesn't. You could just read the title and move on.

As someone who is looking forward to upgrading my aging 5DII's asap its interesting because I want the best my money can buy the day I toss it over the counter and this review suggests that Canon will be under lots of pressure both from the price side (D750) and the spec side (D810) when the 5DIV comes out.

So, if Canon disappoints with the 5DIV there are now two good reasons to go through the painful process of changing brands (something I chose not to do when the D800 was launched - but if its a repeat of the 5DIII "upgrade" I will not even blink this time around). YMMV.

Happy shooting!

Possibly better in every way from a 5D3 but doesn't have an EF mount or the RT system I've come to depend on. Natural light shooters will love this camera. Perhaps if 5d4 is disappointing, releases some proper Nikkor primes that aren't slugs and Nikon revamps their flash lineup, I would consider switching

I'd like to see more reviews yet but I have to say the D750 does look like a very good camera, especially at the price. I like my 6D a lot and I'll see what Canon comes out with next, but this is the first time I've seen something which has made me give a moment's serious thought to switching from Canon. A camera body alone is not a system of course, but still ...

Until I can look through a Nikon viewfinder and change ISO settings with my right index while also adjusting any other setting I need, I'm sticking with Canon. All digital cameras are capable of capturing a quality image. I just like USING Canon cameras better.

Remember that the 5D3 is already 3 years old. It makes sense that a new camera within its range would have better performance. The 7D2 has better IQ than the 5D3, too.

Yeah, I don't think so

Haven't you heard? With a Nikon camera, you don't need to change ISO – just set ISO 100 and you're done. In post you can push it to ISO 3200, with a SoNikon sensor that's easy-peasy and the IQ is still better than Canon. Or so I've read somewhere or other... :

What the? ???

Yeah...no. BUT...the 7D2 may have better shadow latitude (i.e. less noise and banding) which is all the rage now days. I honestly hope Canon knocks it out of the park with the 5D4 because I'm sick of the DR debates

 

[dtaylor]

I didn't see anything in his review that the 5D3 wouldn't have captured just as well EXCEPT for the +5 stop test he shot of a messy corner in a room.

The actual wedding shots he pushed? I've pushed landscape files harder then that on an old 7D. The confirmation bias among the DR crowd is ridiculous.

The ISO 9000 shot? The D750 does not show an advantage at 12800 over the 5D3 (files are already up at IR) so...yeah...another shot the Canon would have nailed.

The buffer and AF? Sound about the same as the 5D3 with a fast card.

Where the D750 does clobber the 5D3 is on price. I don't know when the 5D4 is coming out, but if it's not before Christmas then I think Canon should drop the price on the 5D3 to hold users over until the 5D4. The 5D3 really is priced too high right now even though build quality / UI would go to the 5D3 over the D750.

lol... where is the like button... for example, see below image (from the site that was posted by another member and i am trying to request a raw file from the shooter since i am curious and i need to learn.)

The color and noise of above pic is horrible.

Pushing 5 stops means chopping off 5 bits of precision so the 14-bit RAW image becomes essentially 9-bit, and after curve and gamma? Not much levels left in the mid-tone, never mind the shadows.

Actually you can set the "Record" button on D810/D750 as a ISO button and change it very easily
Very convenient

Sorry mate, that's what I meant. My main point is that technology advances very quickly and a 3-year-old camera cannot be expected to compete with something similar. I stand corrected on the IQ for the 7D2, but the shadows CAN certainly be pushed better.

That'll teach me to post online with a bad head cold... Cheers.

You make fun of it...but it's possible. Because there is practically no read noise, digitally lifting ISO 100 to ISO 1600 or 3200 is effectively the same thing as actually using those ISOs (with the added benefit of having massively more dynamic range).

When you lift ISO in post, doesn't it chop down the DR?

 

[TeT]

The reviewer made note of how the high DR at High ISO is so huge. So did the D750 get a high ISO DR boost over the D3S?

From what has been tossed around over the past month High DR is a low ISO thing, I have seen many test examples that show DR dropping hard at higher ISO. D3S & D800 included...

No way.
