Yeah I'm not getting a thrill out of the D800 Trever. Seeing how its 5 years or so newer technology than the D700 I was expecting it to OBLITERATE it and make me lust for it until I spend savings.

I'm actually attentative to the canon announcements.

people talk too fast. they think that because they cramped that many pixels in the same size sensor that iso performance will be worse. its new technologie. it will be better.end of story.

But will it be as good as the 5Dmk3

Better!

I don't think so

The era of Canon dominance was put on life support in 2008 with the introduction of the D3 series. It is now officially over with the introduction of the D4 series and the D800. For the vast majority of shooters (those who photograph people), Canon is completely inferior thanks to AF and high-ISO issues. On paper, Canon looks good, but we all don't shoot on paper. The only people who have any reason to stick with Canon are those who are already invested in Canon glass, the brainless fanboys who will never learn, and their friends who listen to them for tech advice...

We will see when the 1Dx and 5Dmk3 come out

To each his own, apples and oranges I say! For me the D800 looks good. If reports are correct it's going to a fine addition to my tool chest. I don't belittle Canon, contrary they dominated from the beginning, but it does seem to be a pretty even playing field more each day.


Anyway, I started this thread for the D800 folk and those interested, not to debate what's a better brand so if we could keep it on track that'd be just fine

It's ironic that you used "brainless fanboys" to describe Canon users. As any post you make about Canon is bashing it, yet you still suckle on Nikon's teet in the same post. Seems like fanboy statements to me IMO.

High ISO samples of the 5DIII came out today. There are some real world tests. Looks like ISO 25,600 is perfectly usable. Now we just have to see about how the AF performs in real world tests, rather than just speculating about it.

That looks awesome. I saw that when it posted too.

You have really not read anything to have a clue what you are talking about have you? You might want to take a look at those high ISO images published for the "oh so superior" D800 and the 5d3 as well as those from the 1Dx and D4. You also may want to take a look at the re-vamped focus system in those canon cameras AND try using it before you open you spout of information with nothing practical to back it up.
This coming from a Canon FanGirl who had SERIOUSLY considered the switch to Nikon up until the 5d3 announcement. If it performs as the testers say it does? You can keep your inferior D800.

It is the same tech, but it's not as sophisticated or as 'intelligent' as the 1DX...Apparently

Once started, a thread belongs to the forum as a whole and thus to any one who wants to participate in it. If the conversation veers off from the original topic, so be it. Not like it hasn't happened before now.

 

[Trever1t]

gee, thanks for that!

It was invaded by the Noink fanboys.

I'm interested in the Canon, not for personal use but to compare technologies. If I had the $ I'd buy one of each

I'm just glad the D800 looks like it will fit nicely in my kit. Not replace my D700 but accent it.
