I am sitting at the crossroads here unsure what to buy.
I can either go get D800E with 24-70mm f2.8 ED or get 5D mark III with 24-70 II and I am not sure what to do.
I am actually scared from the 36mp count on D800E because first of all, I don't need this kind of res, and second, the filesize will be huge. On the bright sight, it's probably the best detail DSLR out right now because it doesn't AA so images are literally sharp as a razor. I've never seen any bad reviews on the 24-70 lens with nano crystal coat, and because I will use the camera primarily for nature/landscape photography with lots of sunsets/sunrises, nanocrystals should be very helpful.
Canon's solution doesn't seem to offer much more at lower megapixel count, worse sharpness and significantly higher price BUT a lot of Mark 3's components do come from 1D X which means top of the line performance. Judging from the MTF charts, f2.8 24-70mm II is probably THE best 24-70 zoom out right now but I didn't see any hard reviews where they would compare it head to head with Nikon's 24-70. Canon's setup is whooping $600 more expensive and I am not sure if it's worth it.
Can someone post some thoughts, I am really unsure what to do..
