gandy sent me a link to dxomark. had no idea what the hell it was but when the first sips of coffee started working ... i figured it out.
very interesting.
i compared three cameras i use often: canon 1dsm3 vs. canon 5d vs. leica m8.
gear wanks are going to absolutely love this.
about all that showed me is that i made a good choice with the canon 1dsm3. there isn't anything i'd change about that camera. there's plenty i'd change on the 5d but ... we'll have a new 5dm2 very shortly now.
seriously, photos soon! :)
hope you're all well!
Hahaha... yeah... i compared my 1Ds2 with a 5D and a Nikon D3. Ooops... If i believed those numbers i'd immediately sell my 1Ds2 and get the D3 ;)
But i agree - gear wanks are gonna love it.

that's a pretty cool website. I've been disappointed in the low light performance of the 1d Mkiii we use - 5d whips it's ass, but we have the mkii on order...very excited to see what it does in some dark rooms.

That's a really useful site (if you need to know that kind of thing). Thanks for sharing the link!!

Now you know why I switched to Nikon.
Have you gotten your 5D Mark II yet?
