Just an average day for me now.

I need a project for my film. I ordered that book milou suggested from an amazon seller but the cunts never sent it.

Does that matter that much though if you're a manual focus person? Set the focus marker just past 2m with an appropriate aperture and let DoF take care of the sharpness / focus?

Hyper focus will always work but LiveView makes it a tad easier plus usage of the DoF preview button on occasion. LiveView is a battery drainer though.

You can't blame me for your credit card fiddles... Which book though?

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Some book you suggested with projects in or something. To be honest I just blindly bought what you told me to

DxOMark have tested the sensor in the MK3 and confirmed what everyone knew.

I gotta be blunt, no danger would I pay £3000 for a camera body that's made very little improvement in sensor quality in four years, certainly not at that price. It also show what a sensational bargain the MK2 is. Hell, the MK2 even has better dynamic range at base ISO and makes it the better landscape camera.

The D800 still gets my vote - considerably better lower ISO performance as already demonstrated in this thread with practical examples, marginal loss to the MK3 above 1600 ISO (DxOMark doesn't downsample to the same level for a true comparison), a good £500 cheaper and the ability to mount crop lenses.

It doesn't mount Canon lenses!

 

[old.user4556]

Zeiss and Samyang primes will do me nicely

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Meh. Barring disaster I won't be swayed!

 

[old.user4556]

Crazy talk!

 

[caLLous]

I'll chuck this in here because it's more to do with the camera abilities than the phone itself.



Impressive stuff.

 

[old.user4556]

Looks good Cal, good to see the tech advancing

How about:

24.4 MP and nearly 14 stops of DR for under £600? What a brilliant little package.

 

[caLLous]

If you love Nikon so much why don't you just MARRY it???

 

[old.user4556]

Got to hand it to them, they're advancing with their technology.

The discussions continue, I couldn't agree more with this:

That is utterly stupid.

 

[old.user4556]

Mental.

It's a very specialist lens Wazz.

[caLLous]

Pity they didn't show us some sample shots to see what it's capable of...

 

[caLLous]

I know House is exclusively shot on Canon DSLRs but it looks like they also threw some tilt shift goodness into the latest ep. Classy bastards.

Have a search on Flickr, will be someone out there with one.

Why are almost all the example shots with the Canon, hmm? Canon does sound good for me tbh.

 

[old.user4556]

Bah I was going to post that one too.

Almost all the shots are Canon because Fred shoots Canon.

Did you view the dynamic range comparisons? Can I get a "lol"?

 

[Wazzerphuk]

You can get a lol.

Entry level full frame Nikon D600 rumoured, 24 MP Sony sensor and $1500 rumoured price tag.

If that comes in around £1500 then that'll be a killer unit.

I thought the live view and manual focus aspect was telling though - it's the method I use but there might be a work around. Also, Nikon will probably need to raise the game with their T/S lenses. The shadow noise, or absence thereof, was superb and although there is the ISO 50 work around for Canon, it's not as effective. Of course, I do wonder if any of this is relevant to print. Aside from the pleasure in owning good gear (which in itself may be enough), 36MP for a 900 px blog post is a little ramped.
