With very limited time, I did some sample shots today for at ISO 12800 and up using a 50mm f/2.5 Macro.

It was converted from Raw to Jpg with DDP. Noise Reduction is at default setting. The NN version is saved after Noise Ninja

ah, can see raw file at work. I am sure noise is great.
Do you find the focus compares to your old 1ds Markxx?

Oh . already out ? I think end of March, end of April tim ..

Let me order it in few week, so I can pick it up in May ...

Oh .. I think your album said .. 5D2 ?

Look4chris:

1Ds series .. never does well in high iso ... from my 1Ds .. MK II .. MK III .. even MK3, not as good as ORIGINAL 5D ..

However, how often to shoot above iso 1600? (which I said the limit for 1Ds MK3 for normal case .. under bright condition+NR program, may push to 3200 .. )

I think I'll happy with this camera.
Last year, is when I stopped doing any weddings.  So, the 1 series is too heavy and big, and I just don't like the 5dm2 I had.
To most people, going from a APS-C camera to a FF of any kind is an upgrade.  But to me it's the opposite when going from a Pro body to a entry level FF.
My complaints with all the non 1D series camera (Except 7D)

1> The only relaible Auto Focus Point is the center focus, not a big deal when shooting with lens with smaller aperture, where you have plenty of room for focus errors (Depth of field)  but for me who shoot with prime where aperture is usually anywhere from f/1.8 to f/2, there barely any room for errors, it's by mm.

2> I use M and Av mode 99% of the time.  With Canon, the top wheel in Av mode is for aperture, but when doing M mode, it becomes the shutter, and the back wheel is what you use for the aperture.  Before the 5dm3, the 7D and the 1D series are the only cameras with Canon which allow you to swap that fuction, so that you keep your top wheel for aperture control in M mode.  5Dm3 is the first non Pro FF which allows you to custom configure it.  Not a big deal for people who don't use M mode.

3> The 5dm3 is no 1dx when it comes to speed, but the AF coverage and options will open up great possibility for sport and action photography.  It's better AF system than the 1D4.

4> comparing the 5Dm2 and 5dm3, the build of the 5dm3 is a little closer to 1d series, it still doesn't fit my hand as well as comparable Nikon body, but it's better than before.

5> Video capability over 1ds3.  When I had the 1dsm3, I wish it has video capability like the 5dm2.  or the 5dm2 has the AF capability of the 1D series.  Turn out I don't need to go to the 1Dx, since the 5dm3 offers me what I need without the weight.

6> For lots of professional photography works, High quality ISO 100-1600 is quite often all then need.  Yet, Being able to shoot higher ISO with clean image quality really opens up some opportunity.

eg. I was in HK taking picture of my brother's 3 Cats with a 60D + 135 f/2 lens.  With all the light turns on at night, it still requires ISO 3200, where noise is OK, but you would hope it's better.
eg. While I was in Beijing Fobidden City, taking picture of those inside area without flashes can easily require ISO3200 or above.  Stop being able to shoot at ISO6400 with Image Quality as clean as a 5Dm2 at ISO1600 would be awesome.

Again, in Beijing where some area of the city is still relatively bright during the night (Just like HK), yet you probably still need ISO1600 or above.  Well.. imagine getting those night time picture at ISO1600 looking as clean as ISO800 on a 5Dm2 ..!

I honestly, think the 5Dm3 would be a camera I can keep for a good long time with Canon.  My future collection will be toward those rangefinder looking camera where it allows me to experiece another type of photograpy where you dont normally want to do with a huge DSLR on your hand.

Interesting .. I am the other way around .. I like D700 etc and other D series .. but just they don't fit my hand that well ... I use them for casual ... ^_^

With all lights turned on at night you get an EV of 7 to 8. So at f2.8 you can do 1/125 at ISO 400 or 800. I don't know why you would need ISO 3200. I shoot with a Noctilux or Summilux and Tri-x 400 at parks with minimum light (about 4EV) with no issues. But I did see an old guy with really trembling hands shooting anything at ISO 12800, but still the photos turned out blurry.

super high ISO is handy when you want to shoot f11 indoor.

作者: chobit 時間: 2012-3-24 00:31

You are probably thinking about indoor lighting, and I am refering to street lighting.

this photo was at f/2.8 ISO3200 1/15 (1/13)

So, it's more like EV2

With all lights turned on at night you get an EV of 7 to 8. So at f2.8 you can do 1/125 at ISO 400 ...

Here is another example.

5Dm2 @ ISO6400
135mm f/2 1/50

Again, that's approx EV2

amazing
love it!

so it's shot with m3 or m2? (m3 in title, m2 inside post)

Cats ar c fu ..

I am sure EL means "LIFE" cats .. not dead cats you can do slow shutter ...

作者: Catpiano 時間: 2012-3-24 08:34

OH yes .. are we talking MK 2 or MK3?

And by the way EL, where u get it? I haven't started research on pricing .. I ususually order from BH if I buy from US, not sure if better price from other store.

作者: chobit 時間: 2012-3-24 23:02

Well I bought a mark III, but he photo was done with a Mark II about 2 yrs ago. It was to answer Happy Cow about the needs on high ISO IQ. For those I do anyway.

I bought my locally at Kenmore Camera.

Will you be double-taxed (USA and Canada) when you buy from B&H ?

I beg your pardon ?

作者: Catpiano 時間: 2012-3-26 15:19

Ok ... make it simple, if you order from BH, and mail to B.C. then you only pay Canadian tax (HST/GST whatever) plus handling fee .. and duty .. depends on your luck.

If you go to BH store in NY, buy something, so pay the 9.5% state tax, and then when you bring the camera back, you suppose to pay the HST/GST/Duty etc ..

作者: chobit 時間: 2012-3-27 02:04

Just for fun. This is done on the new camera.

With auto ISO and Liveview, I was able to take this photo with my lensbaby much easier.

The lensbaby is at f/4.
