Both rivals got their new updates for their popular full frame bodies. As a Canon photographer, I use the 5DMkII, I don’t intend to buy or upgrade my 5DMkII to the newer version, I think I currently have a very powerful photography tool. If I had some spare money’ I’d go for a fast prime lens, but thats only if…
So first of all some major specs comparison:
The Nikon D800 
- 36.3 megapixel FX-format (full-frame) CMOS sensor
- ISO 100–6400
- 4 fps consecutive shooting in FX/5
- Multi-area D-Movie
- Multi-CAM3500FX 51-point AF system
- EXPEED 3
- 3.2 inch 921k-dot LCD monitor
- 3D Color Matrix Metering III
- 100% viewfinder coverage and three Crop Modes
- Quiet shooting mode
- Highly accurate and durable shutter unit
- Storage media
- Built-in i-TTL Speedlight
- Durable Magnesium alloy body
- Wireless LAN and Ethernet support
While the Canon EOS 5D Mark III 
- 22.3 Megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor
- All new 61-Point High Density Reticular AF
- Up to 6fps High-Speed continuous shooting
- Native ISO 100-25,600 sensitivity
- 3.2 inch (1040k)TFT LCD Monitor
- Full HD video with manual control
- 14 bit DIGIC 5+ Image processor
- Enhanced Weather sealing
- HDR mode with presets
Lets put aside all the impruvments with the new 5DIII, the only thing that I can say realy “bothered” me, was the fact that it had a poor focusing system for a top level camera. This issue only came up when shooting without a flash (580EXII and so on) while using other than the middle point. It didn;t bothered me ,but I know there were some complains about it. With the new model, Canon decided to get rid of those whispering…
On the paper when looking throught the sepcs of those two, the Canon 5DIII has the advantage in any parameter, but the price (Canon for about 3.5K while the Nikon will be your for about 3K) and the pixel count, where the Nikon leads with a huge 37MP while the Canon comes with only 22MP…
So here are some reviews videos I collcted for you guys to watch.
I’ll be happy if you share your thoughts about who is better, but PLS no Nikon-Canon fights!!!
and a funny one
