Default Canon Mark II versus Canon Mark III

I work with the Canon Mark II 1D and 1DS. Does anyone have any
experience with the Mark III who can compare the differences? Thanks
and please visit me at http://www.brucekersten.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? Check this link:

D3 isn't all it's cracked up to be, not hardly, and not worth the money.

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

One focuses correctly, one doesn't?

Buy a D300 for WAY more money than a 40D? The two are MUCH more equal than
the cost. LOL

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.
