5D MKIII specs

F I think the MKIII will look just as good anyway.

I'm with you on this. If the 5DIII quality is as clean as it's seeming to be, and measures up to a full 1000 lines... then even with price being no issue... I think I'd still take the 5DIII over the C300. I like the FF35 look better, and then besides the 4:2:2 codec... there's really nothing else the C300 is offering. Heck, I'd even take the 5DIII's 4:2:0 all-I codec over the C300's 4:2:2 long-GOP one. Intraframe motion looks SO much better than the mushy long-GOP motion rendering. After working with the Intra-codec GH2 for some time now, I went back and looked at some of the first long-GOP GH2 stuff I shot and it looked like 60i interlaced footage. Gross.

Edit: Wait a sec... the Nikon D800 has uncompressed 4:2:2 output with three different sensor modes for $2999? Why am I even looking at the 5DIII? I thought this was only going to be in the $7000 D4? Great news!!!

Moire doesn't matter. only content, which is king.

Seriously, Kholi, you're a moderator. Set the right tone that you expect others to follow. Stop chiding! It might just come across as personally attacking.

The lack of 1080p videos and the presence of highly compressed 720p ones is a very bad sign.
Panasonic should make a APS-C GH3
Still thinking they made a new mk2 without moiré but same 720pish resolution, yuck!

I'm beginning to worry about this myself as well.
Hopefully we're wrong and instead, it's indeed along the lines of the C300's [proper] resolution.

I'm doing that: with humorous tone.

Did you miss it? xD There's a smiley face so that it comes off clear.

I'm not here to set a serious tone, sorry. I'm here to pixel-peep with everyone else every time a new camera comes out.
 
New camera announcements:

1) Excitement and anticipation
2) Disappointment and confusion
3) Justification and dismissal
4) Pixel peeping and soap box preaching
5) Market share exclamations
6) Camera ships and the truths are revealed
7) New camera announced, return to step 1

:)

I must have missed the smiley face. Whether it was or still is there or not, I would encourage you to bring your comments up a level. You offer great insight to those of us (like me) who don't know much about cameras. Keep your comments focused on that and you'll continue to maintain the great respect we have for you. You don't have to set a "serious" tone but you don't have to deride someone else's perspective that story matters. It may not matter to you. It may not matter to Hollywood. It may not matter to the masses. Even if you are right, there is a more productive, fact-based way to present your perspective.

Has anyone else confirmed or rebutted this yet? We know that the 24-70 2.8 L II has been announced. I haven't seen anything about a version with IS.

There is life beyond the posts on dvxuser. Anthony (Squig) and Kholi will be shooting in Arizona desert soon, I believe. So, it is normal they tease each other. Just another healthy tone to add to te party. It can only be misunderstood by who is out of context, that's all.

This is also a place to meet friends and enjoy the ride.

E :-)

I am wondering the same. Perhaps a gross typo at the official 5DIII promo. I guess sad but it is what it is.
