Both the Canon 5D Mark III and Nikon D800 have been out for a few weeks now, and here’s what we’re all wondering: Which is the better mid-range, professional-grade camera? This hilarious shootout between the two does an excellent job of showing some of the differences.
With the DSLR market pinching downwards into the budget and micro 4/3rds categories, how do you bring in even more customers? By filling in the niches, as Canon’s doing with its latest camera, the astrophotography-specific EOS 60Da. Update: Although you’ll have to shop around, as this is a camera with no RRP.
