Okie dokie... I took some test shots and it looks like the lens is consistently back focusing. Below are shots at f1.4 and f4.0 - seems like the focus point is between the back 1 and 2? It also...

Yes - other lenses seem fine, although they aren't as fast, and don't have such a narrow DOF - so it's possible they're a bit off and it isn't as noticeable. I doubt it though, since the 50mm seems...

Howdy, I have a 50mm 1.4 that has been my go to lens for years, but has recently developed a focus accuracy problem. Going back through my shots over the past two years, I could actually see the...

UPDATE: Now that the 5D3 has gone back up to $3299 at most retailers, I've decided that the 5D3 was DEFINITELY the way to go, that I've missed the best deal of 2012, and that I'm a complete idiot...

Argh - yes, another point in Nikon's favor. It almost looks as though Nikon bought a few copies of the Canon lens and spray painted them black - even the switches are in almost the exact location,...

Yes, sorry - I meant D600, not 600D - and the 14-24 I mentioned is the infamous lens made by Nikon. Here's something fun to do - check out the blur charts on both the Canon 70-200 F4 and the Nikon...

No doubt. Would I pay $899 for a 6.3 megapixel camera today? No. But I do still thank that my original Canon Rebel was one of the best purchase decisions I've made - as was the 40D I upgraded to a...

Yep - I've had the 6D on pre-order since the day it was announced. I'm "first in line" at Amazon, that is, unless I cancel the pre-order and go with the 5D3, or the D600.Any purchase of this nature...

Sorry, I meant D600, not 600D. You'd think I'd have that down pat by now, considering I search Google, YouTube, Vimeo and Flickr NIGHTLY for new reviews, sample videos, ANYTHING D600 related (and...

I would agree about the D600 - but I've always wondered what my beloved 50mm 1.4 would look like on a full frame... And then the 5D3 is coming down in price - below $3k now. Every time I think I...

Howdy all, over the past few weeks, I've been consumed with the various options for my next camera purchase. When I say consumed, I mean I check the DP forums 3 or 4 times a day for new 6D, 5D3,...

Based on previous releases, does anyone have an estimate for when sites like dpreview will get their hands on a production 6D for testing? Does Canon typically supply review / testing samples to...

Interesting. Two take aways from my perspective:1) We were all able to spot the higher end / more modern cameras (D4, D600, and 5D3 picked pretty consistently)2) The difference between the top...

Wow - awesome idea - thanks for putting this together. I wrote down my top three pics in each shot, based on 100% subjective IQ. Interestingly, the top shot was different in each case - if the...

Given a set of 100 images shot by two different cameras (50 each), I think a person might have a chance at picking which camera took each image with at least some small degree of accuracy, as long...

Argh! Just the thought of that gives me goose bumps. Although I think you'd have one hell of a hard time convincing him to use a digital camera over film.

Definitely agree - I nearly always follow the rule of thirds. However, I (like many others in this thread - good to know I'm not alone) use the center focus point to compose the shot. I designate...

I thought it was very telling that although the D800 came out on top technically, most of the shots he took during the excursion were with the 5D III:"As you can see from my samples, I mostly stuck...

Thanks for putting this together - nicely done with the focus grid overlay. I've definitely had difficulty with moving targets on occasion. Are you selecting a specific focus point each time? For...

Thanks - that does help, and I agree with you about JPEGs. I hope we'll see some RAW comparisons with the 6D before it starts to ship (so I can either retain or cancel my preorder - heh).It's...
