1080p Widescreen

Introduction:

The full-frame DSLR market is heating up - by the end of the three major suppliers, Nikon, Canon and Sony, have all prosumer full frame DSLR on the market, all at a similar price.

The 12.1 megapixel Nikon D700, based on proven technology from both the Nikon D3 and Nikon D300 was announced in July, in the far and is already available. With an original MSRP of $ 2,999.95, only 3 months after its announcementStreet prices have already fallen from $ 2,750 mark.

She says for months, 24.6 megapixel Sony Alpha A900 has finally been officially announced on 9 September with an MSRP of 2,999.95 and $ should be shipping within the next few weeks.

A few days after Canon announced the 21.1 megapixel Canon EOS 5D Mark II offers a very complete feature set, and the addition of 1080p HD video, while undercutting the Nikon and Sony both theirMSRP $ 2,699.99. The camera will be available later this year.

Three very different cameras, which make them all on a very similar price point for an interesting choice for the consumer or Professional with up to $ 3,000 to spend on a prosumer DSLR.

Nikon D700:

The Nikon D700 is the sensor excellent years from the Nikon D3 in a body like the Nikon D300. With the optional MB-D10 battery pack (which also fits the Nikon D300), the establishment of a D700impressive 8 frames per second, while recording 14 bit files, at least until the buffer fills up.

High ISO performance is excellent on the D700, like the Nikon D3. The Nikon D700 is also shown to have an auto focus and exposure. However, the camera has lower resolution in the group with only 12 megapixels, and will turn off many potential buyers.

Canon EOS 5D Mark II:

The 21.1-megapixel sensor has a resolution similar to the flagship Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III, butHas a much broader ISO performance. Actually exceeds its ISO range, the Nikon D3 and D700 at ISO 50-25,600 (vs. ISO 100-25,600 for the Nikon).

The sensor of the 5D Mark II is a year younger than the sensor in the D700, and if the capacity of low light is also close to the Nikon D700, then Canon have a camera very convincing in his hands with a higher resolution than the Nikon. We have come some sample photos floating round of the Canon, so it is too early to be sure, butCanon has seen a lot of potential - we will soon see how much difference does one more year of development of the sensor.

The new feature is Canon's 1080p HD video mode. For many, this feature is a gimmick at best, but for some this is a very powerful tool - the ability of a significant number of high-quality lenses to use up, and have control over the depth of field that does not exist only on consumer cameras today. This will be a key selling point for some, and a beautifulhave for many of them.

Sony Alpha A900:

Sony has the highest resolution of the three cameras, but fails in two main areas: The ISO performance is much narrower than its biggest rivals, and it offers only 12-bit A / D For the vast majority of shooters, the 12-bit A / D will not make much difference if the real world. The problem is more a perception, a 3000 full-frame DSLR is $ expect fast, 14-bit A / D conversion of thisMarket.

Comparing the cameras:

Driving in new luxury car, and your neighbor asks the first question: "How much HP has this thing for?" With cameras, megapixels - rightly or wrongly, this is the main selling point for the average consumer, the ISO has a very close second.

In reality, very few photographers will need more than 12 megapixels. If you are the Web-publishing is usually 3 megapixels more than adequate - my1920 x 1200 large monitor is about 2.3 megapixels. A 1080p HD-TV is less than 2.1 megapixels.

Most are high-quality prints at 300 dpi (dots per inch printing), 150 dpi print still looks good. At 300 dpi, an 8×10 photo requires a little 'more than 7 megapixels. A 16×20 print at 150 dpi requires 7.2 megapixels. How many people who buy these cameras go beyond print?

The main advantage of more megapixels is the ability to harvest. This is particularlyuseful for nature, wildlife and sports photographers who need to have as much as possible. What is important for their pixel density - the more "pixels on target" you can get with your lens longer, you can get the harvest and the more effective you. But none of these cameras have the highest pixel density out there - if you want to achieve, you should be better off with a Nikon D300 or the new Canon 50D. About the same pixel density Canon 50D in a full-frame sensor, you shoulda calendar filled with nearly 40 megapixel camera.

Like it or not, the attribute of the camera that makes the headlines many megapixels. In terms of marketing the Nikon D700 is a great disadvantage to the Canon 5D Mark II On paper, Canon also wins the race ISO, but only just. Until the camera out there in the market, we are not sure of how their performance and low ISO is white. The Canon also has 1080p video, asalready mentioned, a key selling point will be for some, and irrelevant for others.

Where the Nikon beats Canon's all that matters: it has a higher maximum frame rate (especially when you get the 8 fps MB-D10 grip, more than double the fee), and the paper has Add a superiority of the AF system and metering system. Similarly, with more horsepower is useless if the car can not be going out on the road (eg transmission, chassis, tires,Traction Control), the Nikon D700 is still a very interesting package, especially for those who shoot sports or action.

The A900 wins Sony megapixel race, but the Canon is very close behind. However, if we lose badly, the ISO performance factor. Canon also has a wider range of high quality lenses to the back of the camera, and has 14-bit A / D conversion to 12 bits for those lines on the Sony, the final image quality. It also has video support, and is about 10%cheaper, so that actually makes the Canon A900 Sony is a non-starter for most people.

Then back to Nikon vs. Canon. Both companies have a wide range of professional quality lenses and accessories to attach the camera. The Nikon is the clear choice for the shooter. The landscape or a photography studio will be offered on the higher resolution of Canon lean. If performance proves to be both ISO for the Nikon D700 and Canon 5D Mark II, then for similarthe wedding photographer and photojournalist for the capabilities of low light, the extra resolution of Canon calls their obvious advantage. If this means that they do not want explicitly to do with image files bigger (more space on memory cards to load more time to develop more post etc).

For all others that should be enough or Nikon or Canon, or rather their needs, but Canon has the advantage of marketing with the title number. If you've spent a lot ofShooting time in public, then you know that someone will come to you at some point and say "camera, how many megapixels it has?"

Introduction:

The full-frame digital SLR camera market heats up - before the end of the three largest suppliers, Nikon, Canon and Sony, all the prosumer full frame DSLR on the market, all at a similar price.

12.1 megapixel Nikon D700, based on proven technology from both the Nikon D3 and D300, which was announced in July, and is already available. With an MSRP of $ 2,999.95, only 3 months of its notificationStreet prices are already down around the $ 2750 mark.

Rumored for months, 24.6 megapixel Sony Alpha A900 is has finally been officially announced on 9 September with a MSRP of $ 2,999.95 and should be shipping within the next few weeks.

A few days later, Canon announced the 21.1MP Canon EOS 5D Mark II offers a very complete set of features, and the addition of 1080p HD video, while lower than both the Nikon and Sony, with its€ 2699.99 RRP. The camera should ship by the end of the year.

Three very different cameras, which are all on a very similar price, an interesting choice for the consumer or Professional with up to $ 3,000 on a prosumer DSLR spend.

Nikon D700:

The Nikon D700 is the sensor excellent year old Nikon D3 in a body like the Nikon D300. With the optional MB-D10 battery pack (which also fits the Nikon D300), the D700 to reachimpressive 8 frames per second, while the recording is filled with 14-bit files, at least until the buffer.

At high ISO performance on the D700 is excellent, as the Nikon D3. The Nikon D700 is also shown autofocus and exposure metering. However, it is the camera resolution in the lower group, only 12 megapixels, and has lots of potential buyers on.

Canon EOS 5D Mark II:

The 21.1MP sensor has a resolution similar to Canon's flagship EOS 1Ds Mark III, butISO has a range much wider. Fact, exceeds the ISO range, the Nikon D3 and D700 at ISO 50-25,600 (vs. ISO 100-25,600) for the Nikon.

The sensor of the 5D Mark II is a year younger than the sensor in the D700, and if in poor light conditions, the ability to come even in the Nikon D700, Canon also has a very impressive camera in his hands with a resolution much higher than the Nikon too close. There are a few sample images floating round the Canon, so it is too early to be sure, butCanon has great potential - we will soon see what difference a year makes the development of the sensor.

The big news is the Canon HD 1080p video mode. For many, this feature is a gimmick at best, but for some this is a very powerful tool - the ability of a wide range of high quality lenses, the use and control of the depth of field, that just does not exist on the cameras of today's consumers. This will be a major selling point for some, and a beautifulto have as many.

Sony Alpha A900:

Sony has the highest resolution of the three cameras, but is divided into two broad categories: the ISO performance is much smaller than its main rivals, and it offers only 12-bit A / D For the vast majority of shooters, which is 12-bit A / D not much, if any difference in the real world. The problem is that of perception, a $ 3000 DSLR full-frame is almost expected that a 14-bit A / D conversion have nowMarket.

Comparing the cameras:

Driving in new luxury car, and asks the first question, the next, "How much HP has this thing is?" With the cameras, megapixels - right or wrong, which is the main selling point for the average consumer, with ISO function is a very close second.

In fact, only need very few photographers for more than 12 megapixels. If you are publishing on the Web in general 3 megapixels more than adequate - my1920 x 1200 wide screen is about 2.3 megapixels. A 1080p HDTV is less than 2.1 megapixels.

Most high quality output printer with 300 dpi (dots per inch), 150 dpi print but still very good. At 300 dpi, 8×10 photos requires little more than 7 megapixels. A 16×20 print at 150 dpi requires 7.2 megapixels. How many people go to buy these cameras for printing beyond?

The main advantage of more megapixels is the ability to harvest. This is particularlyuseful for nature, animals and sports photographers who need to reach as much as possible. What is important for them pixel density - the more "pixels on target" can be achieved with the lens longer, you can reach the harvest and the more effective you are. However, none of these cameras have the highest pixel density out there - if you reach, it would be better served with a Nikon D300 or the new Canon 50D. In order to receive the same pixel density as the Canon 50D in a full-frame sensor, you musta full frame camera with nearly 40 megapixels.

Like it or not, the attribute of the camera that makes the headlines number of megapixels. In terms of marketing, which is the Nikon D700 a great disadvantage to the Canon 5D Mark II. On paper, Canon also wins the race ISO, but only just. Until the camera is somewhere out there on the market, we can not know with certainty how well the ISO is low yield. The Canon also has 1080p video, asalready mentioned, is a key selling point for some, and irrelevant to others.

Where the Canon beats the Nikon is anywhere else that matters: it has a higher frame rate up to (especially if you add the MB-D10 grip to get that 8fps) has more than doubled in the canons, and on paper a superior AF system and measurement system. Similarly, with more power is useless if the machine is not that the power claimed for the street, you (think of the transmission, chassis, tires,Traction control), the Nikon D700 is still a very attractive package, especially for those who shoot sports or action.

The Sony A900 will win the megapixel race, but the Canon is very close behind. However, it loses badly, when you factor in ISO performance. Canon also has a wider range of high-quality lenses to back up the camera, and offers 14-bit A / D conversion 12 bit lines on Sony for those who image quality. It also has video support, and about 10%more convenient, so that the Canon is actually the Sony A900, a non-starter for most people.

Then he returns to the Nikon v Canon. Both companies have a wide range of professional quality lenses and accessories to ensure the camera. The Nikon is the perfect choice for sports shooters. Landscape or studio photographer will be inclined to offer a higher resolution of Canon. If performance proves to be both ISO for the Nikon D700 and Canon 5D Mark II, similarThe wedding photographers and photo journalists should, in low-light capabilities, the Canon resolution, there are no extras on the edges. Unless, that is, explicitly did not want anything to do with files larger picture (requires more space on memory cards to load more, for a long post-processing, etc.).

For all others to meet the Nikon or Canon, or rather their needs, but Canon has the advantage of marketing with the title number. If you've spent a lot ofTime of the shooting in public, then you know that someone will come to you at some point and say "camera, how many megapixels is what are they?"
