In other news, canon *still* have not fixed the iso 100-800 plateau on DR (although above iso1600 5D3 beats 5D2 and D800).
Tonal range Print just gives the edge to D800, on Screen 5D3 wins easily.
Bit depth D800 wins on Print, 3-way tie on Screen though.
Why oh why can canon not make a camera with more DR at iso100 than it does at iso800?
Anyway, confirms what we already know:
- 5D3 is a wedding/event camera
- D800 is a Landscape camera
- If you don't do either, both are good enough all-rounders
- 1DX and D4 are sports/photojournalist cameras
- And I still don't care about video
Looks like i'm sitting out this round of camera upgrades. If I keep the 7D, buy a Hartblei 1006 and a few 6x45 film backs for $500, I wonder how many rolls of Velvia I can get for the other $3000...
