CNET’s Stephen Shankland went behind the scenes near Paris to see DxO put the highly anticipated EOS 5D Mark III through its paces. It’s a rare look at one of the world’s preeminent camera testers.
DxOMark just published their Canon EOS 5D Mark III test results and the Nikon D800 scored better in every category, including low light ISO capabilities. The D800 got the highest score ever given by DxOMark by even topping medium format cameras costing 10
As you likely know, the new 36 Megapixel full-frame D800 and D800E are exactly the same camera with the exception that the D800E does not have an anti-aliasing filter. Instead, Nikon has replaced it with an optical assembly that maintains the light path (thus allowing the camera to only cost $300 more than the regular D800). In theory the lack of an AA filter allows increased resolution, but also may create potential problems with moire, which it is designed to reduce.
The NEX-7 has been a huge success for Sony. Delayed by the events in Thailand and Japan last year, and only now entering full-scale world-wide distribution, this 24 Megapixel APS-C camera is small enough to fit in a pocket (at least with pancake lens) yet able enough to produce large exhibition quality prints. But, it’s not without its flaws.
The C500 shares an almost identical body design to the C300 but is a much higher end Cinema camera inside. The C500 shoots uncompressed 4K RAW (4096 x 2160-pixel) 24,25,30,50 and 60fps video to an external recorder in 10-bit 4:4:4 using 3G HD/SDI connections. Step the camera down to 2K and it will shoot 12-bit RGB 4:4:4 up to 60 fps.
combines the body and still image features of the EOS-1D X with the ability to record up to 4K (4096 x 2160 pixels) video at 24fps, as well as 1080p (1920 x 1080 pixels) at up to 60fps

The biggest rivalry in the camera world today – Canon vs. Nikon – has been heating up lately as Nikon tries to claw its way into an HDSLR market that has thus far been dominated by Canon and its 5D Mark II. Tension has been mounting between fans of both, and a new video, “The F%^&ing Nikon D800 vs. Canon 5D mkIII Shootout,” aims to provide some comic relief.
Then again, if image quality is your #1 priority, then the X-Pro 1 may just be worth the $1699 body only cost as the IQ is SUPERB for a crop sensor APS-C camera. Probably some of the best IQ I have seen from any mirrorless to date. Due to lack of AA filter, the images that come from this sensor pop with detail and sharpness. Add to that the Fuji colors and you have a fantastic camera for image quality
Of course, the thing everyone wants to know right now is how the D800 stacks up against its closest rival – the Canon 5D mkIII. Again I have to thank Nikon for letting me pitch the two cameras up against each other as we travelled around the sights of New York. So how do they compare?
I got a press release yesterday from DxOMark that says the new Nikon D800 is “now the best camera ever tested by DxOMark in terms of image quality.” “Incredibly,” the press release goes on to say, “the Nikon D800 even…
Of the top ten cameras in overall score on DxOMark, four are Nikons (and two are Pentaxes). But Canon doesn’t have a single camera in the top 10. Canon’s highest placed camera comes in at #13. In the top 20, Nikon has eight cameras; Canon, just two. (Sony has five.) Nikon’s little entry-level DSLR, the D5100, comes in just above the vaunted (but outgoing) Canon 5D Mark II (evidently the Mark III hasn’t been tested yet).
As a side note, my most-used camera limps in at #124. (Breaks into patriotic song.)
Makes me wonder, though, why Nikon beats Canon so badly in DxOMark scores.
After the Nikon D4 got the second best DxOMark overal score on Tuesday, today there is a new king – the Nikon D800 is now the #1 rated camera – it even got a higher score than the Phase One IQ180 digital back. The detailed stats are available on DxoMark,
DxOMark published their test results for the Nikon D4 camera. The D4 automatically took the #2 spot, based on overall test score and just 2 points after the PhaseOne IQ180 digital back. Another interesting aspect is that the Nikon D3s got a better low-lig
