Canon EOS 5D Mark II vs Canon EOS 5D Mark II versus Nikon D800

To some extent it is somewhat surprising that under equal parameters the sensor of 36 megapixels of the Nikon D800 offers a picture more clearly and in greater detail as we can see in the test conducted by Joe Marine on Vimeo address the Canon EOS 5D Mark II and Canon EOS 5D Mark III .

According to DXOM ark values ​​ISO between the Canon EOS 5D Mark II and Nikon D800 are very similar as far as photography is concerned, these results show a different story on video, perhaps because it is assumed that Nikon applies a compensation useful for capturing scenes in shadow, but inevitably generate more noise.

But a few days ago we met the last test DXOM ark. Surely by now is common knowledge that the Nikon D800 gets a score on the test DXOM ark much higher (95 vs 81 points) and sensor manufactured by Sony surpasses all the CMOS Canon 22MP, even in terms of noise, point that should be the greatest strength of the Canon EOS 5D Mark III .
