[QUOTE="Dr Daniels, post: 53662, member: 9097"] Indeed, so now you know that Nikon has the lead in sensor technology over Canon, nothing new though. But the real question, does this DxO Mark test means anything in the 'real' world? I've seen a couple of photos coming out of the 5D Mark III, and it is very impressive to say the least. I don't see any rush of Canon shooters switching to Nikon yet. The 5D MkIII is not inferior to the point that it puts a photographer at a disadvantage over a Nikon D800 photographer. The biggest difference will always lie on the photographer's skills. If anything, the D800 has given up on its former versatility for a massive increase of resolution at the price of buffer speed: something that Canon shooters won't be penalized in. The only decent comparisons I've seen so far between the D800 and 5D mkIII: Part 1: [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omTo7UxbJX8"]Canon 5D MK III vs Nikon D800 with Nathan Elson - YouTube[/URL] Part 2: [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4W9EeDCaVFM"]Canon 5D Mark III vs. Nikon D800 Part 2 with Mike Drew - YouTube[/URL] Part 3: coming soon I guess...
