6d, 5dii, 5diii

[christopher_diao1]

 

<p>Can someone summarize the major improvement and advantage over 5DII? What's the disadvantage in comparing with 5DIII?<br />HDR? What's the bracketing range?<br />micro focus adjustment for different lenses?<br />cpu?</p>

I don't think much will be known until the 6d goes to market and we get remarks from actual owners.</p>

<p>There is plenty of material available online, reviews of all kinds, manuals etc.<br>

I suggest you do some homework and, if you still have pending questions about specific areas/features, you post back.</p>

<p>The III vs. the II is all about a huge leap in the AF speed and accuracy. The other major change is the 6-fps. If you shoot portraits, scenic images, travel, etc., then those will not be very important. If you use it for shooting birds, sports and nature, then they'll be huge to you.</p>

<p>DR for RAW files is only about half a step improved and then only at ISO 1600 and above.</p>

<p>Think of the 6D as a 5D mark 1.6 or the 1100D of the FF world.</p>

<p>Having used the 5D2 since its release and having most recently rented the 5D3 for a week of stage productions, I found substantial improvements in my JPGs and RAW files from the 5D3 - as to the JPGS, I was amazed at the very high percentage that were fine right out of the camera. I shoot mostly low light stage productions and the difference was significant - if not night and day. YMMV.</p>

<p>Jeff, what improvements in the RAW files did you see comparing the 5D MkII and the MkIII? I'm only seeing differences above ISO 1600 and they're less than 1EV of dynamic range until ISO 6400. Below ISO 1600 they seem close to identical. Shooting stage, you may be using ISO 3200 and 6400 at lot, which is where I see Raw improvement.</p>

<p>I don't shoot jpeg, but I've read of substantial improvements in the in-camera processing, with almost a full-stop improvement in DR at most ISOs.</p>

<p>DxO Mark is showing little or no improvement in the Raw files below the high ISOs.</p>

<p>Has anyone seen this link about the 5D III where noise reduction is concerned? The comparisons are with the Nikons and Sonys, but the results are impressive:</p>

<p>Yeah Lannie, the MkIII is a winner.</p>
