Even if you cranked the Nikon down 2/3 of a stop it would still look
like ****.

Then why didn't they?
Or cranck the 5d3 up 1 stop so that someone can see what the heck it
was shooting?

The point was to simulate what the footage would look like lit by
candlelight. It isn't the tester's fault that Nikon cranks up the
sensitivity and the noise to try to attain a brighter picture. Of
course, the guy who did the test says the difference was caused by the
framing of the shot (the Nikon being a cropped sensor and all), but I
don't see how that would matter if everything is set manually.

Oh Dear...
More expert opinion containing more bull**** than factual information.
Let me help you out dear.

1. Nikon D800 really does have a full frame sensor. Most likely a Sony
Exmore backlit sensor but Nikon aren't saying just yet.

The real experts in making DSLR movies(the ones who make a living with
the gear) have all decreed the Nikon D800 is hands down a better video
camera than the Canon 5d MkIII which is a bucket load better than the
Canon 5D MkII and of course, the mirrors are guaranteed not to fall out
at a critical moment like the 5D itself had a habit of doing.

I'm afraid I won't be upgrading my D700 to D800. I've ordered a D4 which
I believe is a better all round camera than the tightly packed pixel
sensor in the D800. Anyone interested can see the difference between a
D90 (crop factor) and a D700. The extra density of pixels might attract
some people but way back when a D10 Canon cost $3500, it's images would
enlarge much farther and much cleaner than the more tightly packed
pixels from a D60.

Even then, a 3 MP Nikon file would enlarge further and with more detail
than a D60 image. It's the reason I believe we've reached maximum pixel
density in FF sensors at 16 or thereabouts and why I'll buy a D4 instead
of a D800.

No one has said much about its video capabilities but those who have one
or have ordered one can be assured it will at least equal that of a
canon and most probably... Be quite sufficient for any professional
user. The fanboi thing is wearing pretty thin, don't you think?

I've recently made a HD TV commercial with a D700. The last use before
selling it, for politician seeking re-election. Looks pretty good to me
when I see it broadcast on my 55" Sony TV. The software I bought to
overcome the rolling shutter effect works a dream too.

I'd have thought by now Annika that you'd have given up on the brand
bashing but if as I suspect its all that entertains you I suppose moving
out into the real work of accepting people can have an opinion that
differs from yours and still be right.

In summary:
Same crap, same people, same childish behaviour...
Bye bye for me. You lot will squabble this group into oblivion soon
enough, you're nearly there now.
