Nikon D3X vs. Canon 5DMkII: A JPEG Comparison
Ken has spoken. The clear winner is Nikon D3X. Surprise. I thought it's going to be a Canon again as far as sharpness goes. But his test proves beyond a reasonable doubt that, this time, and this time alone, the out of camera JPEG from Nikon's D3X does trump the Canon 5DMkII's. Armchair photography reportage finished.

To me out of camera jpg is not revealing the true potential of a camera, so there is not much gain from Ken's review this time.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your D700 images. I am waiting for D3x to drop to $2000 then I will buy one. I know I am ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteAs you have mentioned it, you could see photo from my latest Jilin trip here:

I believe all photos are make by my spranking new D700. :-). Many of them shoot in ISO 800.
OKAY, the link doesn't really work, but I am smart enough to chop it down and it's working now.
ReplyDeleteI guess most of them were shot on tripod, yeah?
I suppose you shot them all in raw and converted them to JPEG, one by one or you've cooked up some batch processing script? Do you add one stop when shooting snow generally speaking. Aperture priority or manual, just curious.
Landscapes at dawn and dust are on tripod. Others are handheld.
