in terms of resolving power and vignetting across the frame at every aperture. In fact, it's only comparative weakness is varying levels LoCA below f/2.8, but edge and border performance are so...

...and I have only shot less than ten of these, I shoot JPEG. With the right in-camera settings and close-to-correct WB, JPEGs from the D800 have plenty of dynamic range and color data to survive...

...assuming both the D600 and 6D rumors are true, to protect the 5DIII (and who here is really going to argue that Canon has a history of going to sometimes inscrutable lengths to not cannibalize...

...this launch is no different from any recent Nikon semi-pro/pro launch: more demand than supply. It was many months before the D3 and D700 were widely available as well. Meanwhile, there is...

...you can just create a Virtual Copy in Lightroom and start over again from there creating a different version of the same image. -- - - Kabe Luna http://www.garlandcary.com

more detail than less. When I shot film, I loved medium format for that reason (and the look of longer focal lengths producing wider fields of view with less DOF). Even small prints were richer in...

and that is where they are selling it. I happen to think it's a fair price that I was happy to pay. I likely wouldn't feel the same at $3500, and certainly not at $4K. Not without a bit higher...

is that you'll know 5DIII sales are slow when rebates bring the price down. Otherwise, no way would Canon keep the price high while bodies and kits languish on shelves. The fact that the price...

R&D recovery notwithstanding, the cost of a 36.3 MP full frame sensor should be virtually the same as a 12.1 MP full frame sensor. And given that Nikon doesn't seem to have lost its shirt on the...

To construe what I wrote as negative betrays you as arguably too sensitive to share your work publicly. Had I known this, I'd have certainly have not bothered to critique your posted photos. I...

...working under the assumption that the post might have been about highlighting the 5DIII's positive qualities, not carping on its weaknesses, I didn't bring dynamic range into the discussion. ...

I thought your intent might have been to use these pictures to illustrate the strengths of the 5DIII, such as image quality at high ISO. Silly me for suggesting that, within that context,...

I wish you'd been able to avoid destroying the view out the windows in the second image. Also, enough DOF to encompass the illustration as well would shave been nice. -- - - Kabe...

I am seeing greater resolution or detail-rich subjects in handheld shots using my 55/2.8 Micro on my D800 compared to the same lens and similar subject matter via adapter on my 5DII. This is with...

...contrary to popular wisdom and some reviews, I find it's performance surprisingly good for the kinds of subject matter I'm inclined to use it for. Like the Canon 24-105/4L, the center is quite...

If you have any doubt at all about the need (or even desire, really) for a camera like the D800–especially when you already have an A77 and fine Zeiss lenses–then my advice is to not waste your...

...it's not his mistake we take issue with, but the juvenile manner in which he set out to find a high-profile corporate scapegoat. Maybe not. Note how far into this thread he continued making...

...the part about the D800 having fewer EV between 18% gray and highlight clipping? Test it yourself and let me know what you find. -- - - Kabe Luna http://www.garlandcary.com

Take that $6K, buy two second-hand D3 bodies and quit whining. http://www.keh.com/camera/Nikon-Digital-Camera-Bodies/1/sku-DN029991041450?r=FE When your D7000 finally gets back, you'll have a...
