No its not. The first graph I see in the link compares two Nikons and two 5d's. The second compares two 5d's with one Nikon. This is the 5d (et al) forum, surely. It is an interesting...

Goodness, the detail on the bull's nose is astounding. (Handheld at 1/2500 sec.)

Thank you Bob.

You are talking at cross purposes. I talk only of pixel density. You are talking about pixel quantity.

The way I read the review, the reviewer was implying that for some applications a lower density chip will give better image quality. However as a landscaper, who more often that not is on a tripod,...

I do not understand your comment. Perhaps you do not understand my comment either.

The post is about what it says in the title - 36mp on a 35mm chip. We cannot discuss this in the context of a Canon camera as they have not released one. So for those of us looking for an upgrade...

http://blog.mingthein.com/2012/03/23/first-impressions-review-the-nikon-d800/ Very interesting commentary on the real world use of 36mp on a 35mm chip from a working photographer. In the summary...

Very true Ben. My 1ds2 just came back from Canon (Elstree) no cleaner than when I sent it in. I wanted them to deal with some spots that I could not shift and as it turned out neither could they. I...

Can I ask how much that cost Armin or was it done under warranty? Did they replace the whole sensor or just the filter array? To the OP, this is something to watch out for. I have seen this...

If you download the RAW files from IR, a small amount of banding is visible at low ISO's. But only when lifted by 4 stops which I really feel is an unlikely real world scenario. However at...

However if I am reading these plots correctly, at F1.4 the 5d outperforms all tested Nikon and Canon sensors in this regard. Indeed in general it appears that Canon sensors do rather well overall...

What are you talking about GB? 90%of threads on this forum express outrage at the $500 price difference. It was the only story in town. It is only the last day or so as RAW images from the mk3...

Have downloaded the RAW files from IR and find pattern noise at higher ISO's has been completely eliminated, even when pushed to the maximum in ACR6.7. - it is as good or better than my Exmoor...

The kit lens that comes with the lesser EF-S mount cameras suffers from this premature failure too. Other zooms do not seem to suffer from it.

Forgeddit. Deleted.

DOn't want jpegs converted from raw but raw files I can play with. Links please if anyone has any. REgards

The only weakness of this lens that has shown up so far is the aperture contoller ribbon cable. It is constantly flexing as the lens is zoomed and the conductive strands break down. They seem to...

You think so? I cannot tell anything meaningful from these. They are so compressed that there is nothing there to see. e.g. try lifting the shadows to look for dreaded pattern noise - nothing, just...

Forgive me for removing the extraneous to get to the hub of your argument. But this is where, for me, your argument breaks down. There will be instances where this is true and there will be...
