Subject: Nikon D800 vs Canon 5D MKIII
Posted: 01 Apr 2012 at 7:37pm

Well the D800 is here and seems to be getting good press and the 5D MKIII is imminent with some impressive specs too.

The big difference for DSLR video though seems to be the D800 capability to output clean uncompressed HDMI while strangely the 5D MKIII still has the same "dirty" output as the MKII. Is this a big oversight by canon? Will this alone make the D800 a canon killer for broadcast shooting?

Some good reviews here

We look forward to hearing how people find the results of these two new tools for us.

Well it's coming in march! Can be pre-ordered now at B&H and seems to be almost the same a the D 4 except for minor details. Apparently the video in it is same as D4.

Great review of specs here http://www.dpreview.com/previews/nikonD800

Can't wait I get my hands on one. Look out Canon. Uncompressed HDMI out is a game changer as is DX crop at 16mp - two lenses for the price of one!

Hello.

I realize this is a bit untimely but I've just discovered and joined this forum.

Have you checked out Century Optics?  I purchased a FD to B-4 (Sony)mount from them and it works well.  There is some enlarging on mine asit went to 2/3" chips so, depending on your camera, you may have acropping in also.

It's first rate glass.

You could takea look at visualproducts.com as they often have or make stuff like that. Also duclosLenses.com do lots of custom mounts and lens conversions.

Failing that I have an engineer ho may be able to help iven the right specs.

Hi, Anyone have any thoughts about how I might be able to use my 300mm Canon 2.8 with universal mount on my EOS DSLR? Ideally something off the shelf, as much as I love Les Bocher I'd like to use it in my life time!]]> Wed, 01 Feb 2012 12:18:48 +0000 http://www.iawf.org.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37&PID=9595&title=universal-to-eos-mount#95 http://www.iawf.org.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36&PID=94&title=nikon-d4#94 Author: Icemonkey

So it's finally coming. The Nikon D4. Allegedly it has pretty good video capabilities. Would love to hear from anyone with any first hand experience of the video and how it performs. Any comparisons with the canon 5D mkII would be interesting too.]]> Wed, 18 Jan 2012 06:13:07 +0000 http://www.iawf.org.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36&PID=9494&title=nikon-d4#94 http://www.iawf.org.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34&PID=91&title=panasonic-ag-af101#91 Author: Bran

Unlikely, but has anyone used a Panasonic AG AF101 for Macro work (ladybird sized subject).  If so, what lens did you use?]]> Thu, 05 Jan 2012 22:33:13 +0000 http://www.iawf.org.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34&PID=9191&title=panasonic-ag-af101#91 http://www.iawf.org.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32&PID=88&title=expedition-rugsac-for-heavy-weights-new#88 Author: johnm uk

If your photo equipment is in cases etc this is perfect- it is a full 1000 denier Cordura KS coated fabric which is what they use on the base on TNF basecamp duffle bags. the main compartment can be divided in two, the square shape has zips to expand the main body volume. There are 10 litre fold flat side pockets- big enough for lenses or water bottles etc that when not used can fold flat for climbing. Multiple lash points for everything wand pockets for tripods. the harness can be removed in the field and reversed for airport travel. hidden security pockets.
