If You’re Looking To Buy A D800 Or 5DMK3 Watch This Video
Dave Dugdale from Learning DSLR Video has put together a fantastic video comparison of the Nikon D800 and the Canon 5D MarkIII. It’s a unique view as Dave is an amateur and not an endorsed pro, so the video is unbiased and stays true to the facts. But don’t let him being an amateur throw you off, he is very thorough and I learned quite a bit of useful info about both bodies while watching this. Even at 20 minutes long it was a fairly easy watch, Enjoy!

June is the month to win cameras here at Fstoppers. Not only are we giving away a Canon 5D MKIII or a Nikon D800, but until June 26, you can enter to win a Lytro! This tiny little camera got a lot of hype at the end of 2011, and for good reason. It basically redefined what a still image could be and introduced the new light field sensor unit of measurement, the megaray. So join Fstoppers and Camera Awesome as we give one away! [more]
The First Knockoff D800 MB-D12 Grip Has Arrived
When Nikon first released the MB-D12 battery grip for the Nikon D800 it cost a staggering $615. Since then the price has fallen to a still ridiculous $429. We have been waiting patiently for an affordable 3rd party version and today I got an email from a reader that they were available on ebay. The “Pixel MB-D12″ is a much more affordable $109.00. I just purchased one and once it shows up from Japan (at least 30 days) I’ll review it. I’m hoping this grip is as good as the last fake I got.

While the display is absolutely breathtaking, it has a serious disadvantage. Is the display too good? [more]
Why Megapixels Don’t Matter…
…Or do they? Camera manufacturers today — especially consumer camera manufacturers — have created sensors that keep growing the megapixel count on each chip year after year, meeting consumers’ general expectations for a higher number of ‘MP’ with every subsequent refresh. But what do these numbers really mean? Do you need all of those pixels? These are some of the many questions discussed in the full post article. [more]
