Nikon D800 vs. Nikon D700 high ISO comparison
D800 is looking good, if this can be confirmed.   More here: http://nikonrumors.com/2012/02/22/nikon … ison.aspx/ Feb 22 12 09:17 am Link The D700 shots are blurry. Thats how reliable the story is. Its probably some fanboy trying to make a big story. The D700 rules ----> Feb 22 12 09:26 am Link "You will have to ignore the fact that all D700 samples are blurry and just pay attention to the ISO performance".  What is the point of comparing a sharp with blurred image, where signal is spread of many pixels which screws S/N ratio....Feb 22 12 09:27 am Link If one just focuses on D800 images, it looks good to me. i don't have a D700, how does it perform is non-issue for me. Feb 22 12 09:31 am Link The main thing that you can't tell from that comparison is how much detail is being retained because the D700 samples are completely out of focus. This reminds me of those photos of people who are loosing weight where the before photo is meant to show them in as bad of light as possible just to emphasize the point. Also, why are the crops of the D700 samples showing the same subject even slightly larger than the D800? It seems that they would have had to uprez the D700 samples to have that happen, so the noise comparison is not at their native resolutions. Are these comparisons of RAW files or in-camera JPEGs which would not account for better noise reduction algorithms? And in true rumor site fashion, the original site has removed the samples.

Feb 22 12 09:37 am Link I am extremely interested in seeing a high-ISO comparison between the two sensors. This isn't that, this is kludge. Feb 22 12 09:44 am Link Plus, neither of them can have the same 100% crop. The D800 should be what, 3x times closer? Feb 22 12 10:03 am Link Christopher Hartman wrote: Yes, this is true. My conclusion is that the D800 and D700 are very comparable. The grain molecules simply look smaller and sharper on the D800 image due to resizing, but the overall amount seems the same to me.

Nikon is suggesting about a 1/2 stop advantage for the D800. Personally though, I plan to buy a D800 if it delivers what is promised. Rather than speculating, I am just going to wait until the camera actually comes out and we see some accurate testing. We will know then and I can decide. Feb 22 12 11:00 am Link I would love to see a side by side next to a D3s. Debating about upgrading to the D4 and D800E or keep my D3s and use the $6000 to buy both D800s (maybe one E and one not) Feb 22 12 11:06 am Link Feb 22 12 11:13 am Link Yes the d700 is an amazing camera. I shoot one myself. However was there ever any doubt as to if the D800 would be better. Of course it is, its nearly 3 years newer. Silly comparison if you as me.

Feb 22 12 12:34 pm Link I was thinking about upgrading my d700 to the NEW d800, but the D700 is a better all around camera for the price. I shoot for a newspaper so I do alittle of everything including sports so with the grip I get 8 shots per sec. Still has great high ISO quality (for a 3yr old camera). and made like a tank. I don't need 36mp or need it spend $3,500 for a new camera w/grip. D700 still a top on the line camera. Feb 23 12 03:04 am Link Nikon is usually pretty consistent with their ISO ratings. I'm still expecting the D800 to offer broadly similar high ISO performance to the D700. Feb 23 12 04:29 am Link Just few more weeks.. We will get to see some real comparison soon..

Lots of freaking out over apparent banding (posterization) in the shadows of the D800 samples. It'll be good to get some actual NEF's to see where that's coming from. I can't imagine the raws look like that. Feb 23 12 06:39 am Link Phil Drinkwater wrote: I have no motivation to figure out the exact math, but you get my point right?

Feb 23 12 11:22 am Link Just wait for a few months when the price is right. It is not like you don't have a camera to use. I may cancel my D800E pre-order too.  I lean towards D4 or even D4s.

Feb 23 12 11:41 am Link I was wondering if each dot is an individual photo receptor on the sensor that will produce one pixel- you put more pixels in the same area of a D700 sensor would it be worse low light performance? Feb 23 12 01:38 pm Link Image Works Photography wrote: Each individual photo receptor on a Bayer sensor records either a blue, green or red color value. Images have to go through a process called de-mosaicing to produce an image where each pixel has an rgb value. Feb 24 12 05:20 am Link |
that's the way we really want it to be, isn't it?
