Nikon Rumors has people telling them that the heir apparent to the Nikon D700 — the full frame DSLR that went toe-to-toe with the Canon 5D MK II — could arrive in coming weeks and will be called the Nikon D600. Next to no specs were offered up by this anonymous source, except that it will be an “entry level” full-frame camera with dual SD card slots, auto DX crop and baked in support for RAW editing and time-lapse creation.
Every time a camera comes out, nerds keep a close watch on DxO Labs to see how the image sensor will measure up to others in the camera benchmarker’s battery of tests. DxO just released its ratings for the most anticipated camera in years: The Canon EOS 5D Mark III. CNET was there to document the whole process.
It’s been a mighty year for Nikon DSLR refreshes between the D4 and the D800. Now there are rumours that Nikon will update its budget DSLR, the D3100, with the D3200. Is this supposedly leaked partial shot from DSLR Maniac in Japan our first look at the camera?
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.
If the Canon 5D Mark III’s generous 3.2-inch LCD display still isn’t large enough for your needs, the Swivi lets you strap on an even larger 5.6-inch swiveling display for live previews or reviewing shots and footage.
Canon and Nikon both have brand new professional DLSR cameras fighting for the wallets of photographers and videographers the world over. We recently reviewed the Canon 5D Mark III, and are whipping up a review of the Nikon D800. In the meantime, we put together a comparison of the video capabilities of these two foes.
Benchmarks don’t always tell the whole story of a gadget or device, but they can be quite handy as support for those gut instincts and intuitions people have while using a device. And in the case of the Nikon D800, whose sensor DxOMark called the best ever after benchmarking it, it will need all the support it can get in its inevitable comparison against the Canon 5D Mark III.
