Nikon D3 vs. Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III
Honestly, I am glad I don’t have to choose. I’ve got a blonde and a brunette…err…a Canon and Nikon.
For large commercial jobs, where I am thinking I want a higher native resolution, it’ll be the Canon I reach for. For low light situations, which are all too common, it will, without a doubt, be Nikon. In fact, with the noise issue out of the way, and most client deliverables needing to be down-rezzed anyway, I can see that the Nikon not only would be a better solution to speeding up my post-production process, but moreover, storing the RAW/DNG files will save me significant hard-drive space in my archives over the larger Canon files.
Will the Mark III have issues it’s earlier Mark III siblings had? I hope not. Will Nikon have an as-yet-unknown issue? Who knows. We’re all their guinea pigs, shelling out thousands to fuel their R&D, with the consumers being the beneficiaries.
Advantage? Photo Finish - Nikon by a nose, for what I do. How about you?
