I know a few professionals that are with nikon,
one has a NIkon D800 and is nothing like satisfied. because he always has to bother about the immensive size of the RAW files..
recently he started to set it to lower resolution and shoots in jpg...
the other photographer i know, is/was shooting with a 3DS. He is very happy and productive and I am pretty sure he considers the real image quality of his 3DS (just like the most professional Nikon shooters) pictures high above that of a D800...
FYI:
Nikon D3: 12.1MP
Nikon D4: 16MP
Canon 1DX (THE top of the notch Canon body): 18.1MP
Canon 1DS MIII : 21.1MP
Again for the Resolution-Angst-People:
High Pixel density does in NO WAY improve image Quality...
Reconsider... The BEST PENTAX APS-C DSLR Body when it comes to, crisp clear pictures, IQ and detail still is the Pentax K-5IIs... No way a K-3 could even compete an incy wincy bit.
īt is the result that counts and not the MP you can read out of your computers display...
12MP ARE SUFFICIENT FOR REALLY HUGE PRINTS!!! AND PEOPLE: I AM PRETTY SURE IN THE SCARCEST OF CASES YOU'LL PRINT THAT BIG.
AND CANON
CAN EFFORT THINGS LIKE THE 5DS FOR
POPULARITY CONTESTS... THEY HAVE A WHOLE LINE UP OF FF DSLRS ALREADY.
PENTAX HAS ZERO FF BODIES TILL SPRING 2016... ZERO.
They just can NOT effort such half-silk attempts at IQ like 36MP NO WAY.
I just couldnt take it if that cam would start with noise at 1600 NO WAY...NO WAY...!!!
I HEREBY PLEAD FOR A MAXIMUM RESOLUTION OF 28MP... OR THE LOWEST RESOLUTION THAT WOULD MAKE 4K VIDEO EASY TO RUN SMOOTHLY OUT OF THE CAMERA. 32MP would be a total-Showstopper already... That would let the IQ almost look like on a K-3 AND NOT like on a K-5IIs ... uach...
