Well .. it makes sense, as expect, for pic quality, 5D and D3 will be neck to neck, of course, in few cases, when u need iso 6400 .. 12800 .. then D3 is useful .. ( those high iso pic, look like build in noise reduction program .. )
I would like to see some samples, .. iso 6400 with 5D (push) and iso6400 on D3, and both use some good noise reduction program .. see how the detail will be ..
Again, for the price, D3 is a bargain, great sensor, great features, $3k less then Canon flagship, and just short of ultra resolution .. ( does it matter? 12M vs 22M in real life? )
On the other hand, for just $600 more then EOS 1DIII .. has the same/or better feature, plus FF ....
Well .. have to say .. this round .. Nikon KO Canon in higher end DLSR .. but Canon 450D seems like will KO Nikon D60/D80 ..
And will see how another SONY sensor 24M D3X will cost!! ( If sony can make the D3 sensor so good! The new 24MP should be amazing! )
It is actually not too bad idea .. for the money to buy a 1DS III + 200mm L = $15k already .. vs $9K on D3 .. and can get the 14-24 ... so cover some nice mid tele and wide ..
Still ..Canon has the edge on 24.. 35 .. 50.. 85 .. 135 .. those nice prime ..
Well .. none of our business la.. ar Lik ... It is for Nikonian ..
5DII .. will be good for sure .. but . .price point? do they hv ti make it as good as D3.. and sell for $5K plus? or make a 7D and 3D ?
I would like to see it with also same 13MP (faster) and just add a bit weather seal, and the 40D control .. few more custom function .. then good enough la ..
Still . 3D is my dream DSLR .. eye control please ..
