I love his reviews, they are by far the most balanced and friendly ones! Oh, and his name is almost the same as mine haha.

Please lower background music from 28th minute, it is annoying for listening the speach in foreground.

I have brought D800 last week, mostly for photography, and have no possibility to test it’s video capatibilities, but as I have seen it is awesome.

That’s because h.264 is the compression and .mov is the file type or container. You can have both at the same time.

Both camera are great, but I go for the D800, and leave Canon, and maybe in the future go for blackmagic ..

When it comes to compression and Mb/s – it depends on what file format you use. From what I’ve read, h.264 handles compression much better, and more information can be held at much smaller file sizes, compared to let’s say .mov files.

I’m no expert, just read this a few days ago. It’s weird that he didn’t bring it up – as well as didn’t show us the difference between internal recording and external recording.

Great honest side-by-side comp!

If you use Chrome browser, go to vimeo
http://vimeo.com/42065372 and click “switch to html 5 player”

This will give you the ability to scrub through the video. For some reason, the flash player has never let you scrub on Vimeo.

For some reason no matter where I drag the play head the video begins playing from 0:00. I don’t have 30 minutes to devote to this but I am curious about the conclusion. Can someone bottom line it?

What I don’t understand is that the C300 seems to be the one Philip uses all the time as opposed to these others but I read on Canon’s website that the C300 outputs only 50 MB/s Mpeg 2. Wouldn’t the internal video of Mark III be better than this? Or am I to assume Philip always uses an external recorder so I have to add on another $1000-$3000 on top of the cost of the damn camera.
