While things like pixel count, ISO range and video additions such as the headphone jack will get the most attention and discussion in the days ahead, the real story of the 5D Mark III is how much effort has been directed towards making it better as a camera.

The Naked Sensor
It’s probably no coincidence that Kodak sensors are in all three of those Leica models (listed just above) and that both companies have chosen to make cameras without AA filters. I’ve never asked Leica about the following but I can imagine some early prototype tests in which an AA filter was included in a DMR test mule. I then imagine the optical design team, in particular, being rather aghast at what that filter had done to the fine resolution delivered by their lenses. Leica lenses, as a rule, are quite expensive and a great amount of time and money goes into tweaking their performance. To then throw some of that performance away, via the AA filter, probably seemed anathema to the company. I can’t say that I disagree with that thinking.

The Nikon D800 is f*cked

As you can see from the graph above, Nikon morons swarmed the servers when news about the sh*tty image quality of the D800 got out. That was an FCW exclusive as far as I’m concerned. This kind of stuff usually only happens when The Lord of the Speedlights links to your website.

Johnnie Behiri tries out a pre-production Nikon D4 and gives his first impressions
I’ve divided the test into night and day shots. Neither video is colour-corrected. I wanted to share exactly what I got out of the camera with the community. To my eyes, up to ISO 1000 the camera produces clean video images. Also, please take a look at “24h in25p”-night, 0:49min. Surprise – the “rolling shutter” effect is almost a thing of the past!

Why I Moved To Medium Format :: Phase One IQ140 Review
I’ve recently moved to a digital medium format system and I thought I’d blog about the process of choosing a system and why making this jump was worth every hard earned penny to do so.
