Nikon D800 vs Canon 5D MKIII

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   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.
