]]> Comment on The new full frame cameras (Canon, Nikon and Sony) by Sean http://www.thecolorblindphotographer.com/2008/11/01/the-new-full-frame-cameras-canon-nikon-and-sony/#comment-941 Sean Sat, 08 Nov 2008 15:26:09 +0000 http://www.thecolorblindphotographer.com/?p=507#comment-941 [...]I suppose I should consider myself lucky that the cheapest camera of the bunch (the 5D Mark II) and the only one compatible with my current system is also the one that spends most of its effort doing the things I want and need right, while not trying as hard to do things I don’t need like framerate or fancy AF.[...] For choosing the Canon, you sure didn't argue strongly for it. Effort goes to what, other than resolution? It appears it's your pick only because it matches your system. Megapixels, compatability, and (arguably) price? Not terribly objective. I know you have used one, but have you USED a D700? I spent an entire week with the 5D Mark II and the D700 side-by-side, ready to go to either side no matter who, and the D700 destroyed the Canon in every aspect except large cropping (tiny argument, and based on megapixels). Low light/noise, onboard flash as a commander, handling (Nikon always beat Canon here), lens selection (the 14-24 f/2.8, and 24-70 f/2.8 have no rivals from any brand)... I don't think it's a jack-of-all-trades, as I wouldn't use it if I were exclusively doing sports or wildlife, but hell, most people in those deptartments are sticking with smaller sensor cameras to take advantage of pixel density and crop factor.
