Thanks and please visit me at http://www.brsten.com I highly recommend the Mk III. I really enjoyed mine, but sold it in favor of the Nikon D3. The D3 is a better choice since you are getting better build quality, better lens system, and higher ISO performance with sharper images. All around the D3 is the better choice. Plus, should you decide you want a Mk III you can use your Nikkor lenses on it via an adapter. The D3? Sharper? Than what, a boxy old D60?

Thanks and please visit me at http://www.brucekersten.com Read this and start crying: http://photo.net/equipment/canon/1Ds_markIII/ To sum it up: Difficult to find second curtain sync (must be set on the flash) No GPS, except with a 800.- WFT-E2A wireless file transmitter AND a separate GPS! No auto focus in Liveview mode Liveview degrades image quality Liveview heats the body so much, it can be permanently damaged (!) Compared to viewfinder, Liveview is 2-4 degrees out of whack So are the pictures Max ISO only 3200 Only 5 fps Canon? C'mon! Are you into masochism, buy Canon.... LOL -- Sosumi |

Check this link: http://clublexus.com/forums/showthread.php?t=326811 D3 isn't all it's cracked up to be, not hardly, and not worth the money. All that "test" proves is that the Canon adaptor was machined precisely and like many attempts to make one before this "test", the Nikon adaptor may not have been so precise. There is no mention from the "tester" about back focus calibration for that lens. At best, this "test" highlights the need for precision calibration BEFORE testing. You certainly couldn't rely in this sort of test to make a judgment of which camera is sharper with a view to parting with money to buy one or the other. My newest camera (yep, the Nikons have all arrived) demonstrates very clearly how much of a compromise I had been making by using Canon lenses and bodies. Skin tones are more lifelike with the D3 than either a 20D or 5D. The 20D never was much of a contender for sharp images but the 5D did produce what I thought to be sharp images... Until I looked closely at an image of a resolution chart I shot with all three cameras. I don't know where this fellow got his wires crossed but crossed they must be. The Canon's can't hold a candle to either a D3 or D300 for image sharpness. Using a telescope with machined flange adaptors with no guarantee the adaptors have been checked for focus errors is just asking for controversy... He's got plenty of that now. The Nikon's have a hugely better flash system which I got to sample on the Canon's by taking Rita's advise and buying a Nikon flash. On a Nikon camera it simply blows Canon's pathetic effort out the door. Canon fanboi... Get your facts straight first. Don't believe those who grandstand about "their" test being definitive... His is a long way from it. |
