Re: The megapixel issue - "again" and other issues

2012-03-13 by Joseph DiLorenzo

Hi all,

A lurker here, and perhaps a bit late to the discussion, but thought you 
guys might be interested in an article I just read that discusses some 
of the things being discussed here.

http://www.bobatkins.com/photography/technical/pixel_matters.html

Bob Atkins compares the new Canon 5D Mark III with the Nikon D800 in 
terms of pixel size and pixel count as well as other factors.  It makes 
for an interesting read.  I myself was personally looking to Canon for a 
larger pixel count as I have the MKII and wanted to upgrade.  Nikon 
caught my attention and interests me now.  However, most of what I do is 
available light in low light situations with some studio.  So....?  Just 
thinking out loud here, but the Canon may be more suitable for me IF the 
gain in IQ (re: dynamic range and low noise) in low light is really 
significant compared to the MKII.

Joe
