Got the 5D3 but to tell ya the truth…ISO 6400 on the MKII was not shabby in the first place. My hard limit was always 3200 but I regularly went to 6400 on the 7D as well.

Matters less to people who realize pixel peeping will usually disappoint you no matter which camera you use.

Nikon is a fairly clear winner in most departments but I find it slightly worrying what was said about the focus lag. But with that said both cameras are superb and should give you the opportunity to make awesome pictures and videos.

What makes a comparison between the Nikon D800 and Canon 5D Mark III interesting is that many people are upgrading from a DX format and will need to buy entirely new lenses which means that both models and brands are a fairly open choice.

That’s so true. The last big shoot I had, I was there 7 hours, the model was there for 3, the make up and hair were there the whole time doing touch ups and re-doing different looks. Without me, they’d have no photo, but without them I’d have no photo either. Team work is essential, and appreciating and thanking those people is always key! :)

On second thought you guys are probably right. The D800 does seem to do well as an all-round camera, including lower-end sports and reportage. Forget i said anything :)

If you do documentary style wedding photography you’d be missing the decisive moment with D800, they seriously need to fix that auto focus lag.
