DxOMark Lab: Canon EOS 5D Mark III Vs. Nikon D800 in testing
Canon just release the new popular DLSR “5D Mark III“, with independent tests suggesting the core performance of its new 22-megapixel sensor is little improved from the 5D Mark II it replaces. Hot on the heels of Canon’s embarrassing confirmation that the hardware design of the EOS 5D Mark III has a flaw that allows light into the body, testing by specialists DxO Labs indicate only minor advantages from the new model and – unlikely to help in the ongoing Canon vs. Nikon platform war – performance still lagging behind that of the D800.
