thanks! I was surprised to see the old thread came back :p

If you must insist on the crop body - get a T4i. I like the DIGIC V files better. Both 6D and 650D have usable jpg ooc, too. My favorite lenses for portraits on 6D are EF 50/1.4 and 135 L.

I think Nikon has slightly better DX lenses (got excellent prime, too - 35/1.8 DX), problem is I don't like investing on DX lenses. I use both Nikon and Canon, and I have used and tried many lenses...

The Zeiss is better, I'm sure - at more than twice the price of Canon but I prefer the one that I can focus easily ;)

@Petka - 135 DC is not bad, but it's a dated design too. It's more expensive than the Canon but has much more
CA and so-so sharpness wideopen

Apparently this cameras is more about wow factor rather than IQ - which is important in 2013...

REally? consistent image? Funny, DPR's own raw and jpg comparison shows Canon G15, XZ2 being much more detailed at low iso...It's time the reviewer take a look at their own raw comparison LOL

If you use the comparison tool, I think you can see that D5200 beats D7000 already ;)

cool, silver star for an expensive compact with mushy images...

I checked your link - put on your glasses.... NEX-7 has the best micro contrast despite still using AA filter. D5200 is considerably softer than NEX-7 and D7100. Check other parts such as coins on...

yes, buy it if you can find one - unless you prefer to buy the overpriced version of it called T5i...

whoa, that should be bloody sharp with D7100 ;)

NIce shot,Jim! May I know what lens was used?

By omitting OLPF doesn't mean it's a bare sensor. Nikon still has to put optical IR filters on the sensor that will also keep the focusing distance the same as the rest of the cameras.

There is a lens issue - what I think interesting is that when I use DPR's RAW comparison, I can't help to notice that NEX-7 (at low iso) looks sharper and has better micro contrast than D7100....

135/2 L! At f/2.0 it has minimum CA, center is sharp with good contrast. At f/2.8~/5.6, it's very sharp!  My second favorite is the 200/2.8 L. It's too long for some, but it has probably the best...

...those who claim there is not much difference between D5200 and D7100 never really use AA-less cameras, I'm afraid. Use them in the field, don't just download the samples. Shoot in varying lights...

I had all three lenses you mentioned - but I sold the 70-200/4 IS and keep the 70-300 L and 135 L. Both are great on my 6D ;)

There should be a noticeable difference between D5200 and AA-less D7100 in term of resolution. If there wasn't, the only explanation is that the lens used is not capable of utilizing the smaller...

It should, but it's kinda old now ;) I had this lens along with D2X, worked well but sold them when I got the D3 back in 2007.
