WOW First 5D Mark 3 Video D800 :(

[RyanVGTA]

Well I have to say I have been a long time Nikon Lover (still am) but after playing with the D800 for 3 weeks we sold it and bought the 5D Mark 3...

Now this was primarily based on low light which in real estate is huge. But the video out of this camera really speaks for itself. What a fun camera to play with.

Check out our new Teaser Film!

Just out of curiosity, real estate, as in shooting advertising for people selling their private homes? In what cases do you need low-light capabillities there for?

A tripod and f11 and iso 100 doesn't work?

For real estate shooting with available light is the name of the game... we can cheat with speed lights for photos but when it comes to video... The D800 doesn't even compare. There are so many dark areas in a home, on the D800 noise covers the dark areas... The 5D Mark III Does a fantastic job. The above teaser admittedly was shot in day light (shoot time was bumped up) but the low light work that we have done... the D800 doesn't compare.

That said the D800 does have more range, but it seemed as though it was just brightening the dark areas to deal with the noise... problem is that sometime we want deep darks in our video.

How dare you insinuate that the D800 has drawbacks?

Ah, video, of course. That I can totally understand..

No thread about the D800 is complete without mentioning dynamic range. Have you heard that it has 14.4 stops of DR ;D?

What has this world come to?
