If you have a Mark II there's really no reason to upgrade, but if you're shooting anything else, now's the time to take the jump.

Not to add more fuel to the nikon/canon fire, but selling all my lenses and nikon bodies in favor of canon was the best thing I ever did. Nikon's in camera color handling is a fucking nightmare.

How is the video footage? We just picked up a 7D and are excited to start using it. Some of the footage I've seen recently from a friend is just incredible.

I think my next camera will be a Canon 60D since it has the flipout vari-angle screen I have to have.

Canon found a way to put more photo diodes within one pixel so the image will have far superior dynamic and resolution.

black and white film has the highest range, color film second, color dias (slides) is next and only then comes digital.. as having the worst dynamic range) well if then it is quite revolutionary and absolute worth while to take a serious second look at.

Yes that was just a typo on my part. I am fully aware of all things dynamic range.
That is what most of these shooters in here do not understand.

Nikon produced a Camera (D800) with a bigger image size, but not packing in more/smaller photo diodes within one pixel. Bigger image size does not mean more detail or IQ.

The Canon 5D Mk III contains far more photo diodes within one pixel than the Nikon D800 has.

actually not true as they have not yet tested the mark III...

Even if its sensor results are exceptional, we are looking forward to measure the best Nikon lenses on it, but also to be able to compare it with the new 5D Mark III !"


the d800 does beat the mark II by a mile tho.

none of that matters to me in the slightest P, getting d4 and a d4x when available :2 cents:
