“Very Crappy” you say?

Technical progress stopped…
I also want to see a video comparison between Nikon and Canon.

Granted its not something you should do but it doesn’t detract from the point. Care to add something with a little more substance and less condescension?

Ironic… I stopped reading at “raise the sharpness level…”

Yeah I agree that it’s not the greatest test but I think my point (which I did
not make clearly) was that the mark III is a much more well rounded piece of
equipment with really really handy features that come stock with it (not having
to hack it). And now with the sharpen workaroudn I believe we have an extremely
great tool at our disposal.

Just raise the sharpness levels on a custom preset in camera. I do this all the time as all the Canon picture style presets are set to the ’0′ end of 0-7. All this proves is Panasonic uses a higher level by default and bloggers simply forego any ounce of common sense and objectivity.

My client does not care which camera appears sharper in some shots. All they care about is the overall look and Canon wins here hands down.

Who cares really if its tiny bit sharper? Video still looks very crappy on Panasonic.

exactly this ^ My client does not care which camera appears sharper the overall look is what sells.

I actually liked MKIII footage more.

Recommendation:

Start a new article reviewing not the equipment, but… the end viewer (NOT counting fellow photographers).

Result?

While I wish they would, no one will care or notice the differences. (again, fellow photographers and tech peeps don’t count)

Instead they’ll say things like:

“Can you delete that part? I hate my double chin!”
“Look at that lake! Reminds me of our vacation last year in Canada.”
