I picked up a 5D3, I love it – however I am a Nikon guy at heart but can’t afford both. My main questions are about video quality. I would say the 5D3 does better at high ISO but I like the colors and dynamic range of the D800. I guess they both have their +/- and in the end I went with the 5D3 ISO performence. You have any aliasing/moire issues with D800 so far? Who knows I may sell the 5D3 and pick up the D800 eventually. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

I have shot a fashion story with the 5D3 at low ISO and the files looked excellent, will post it soon, as for the D800 I have just been snapping around and the resolution is phenomenal, I did notice though the 24-120mm is not good enough anymore for this sensor, really a shame, since it is my favorite all round lens. All I can say for now, if you ever shot medium format this is very close to the quality and beyond anything we have seen in a 35mm sensor. I love the high dynamic range and color depth, haven’t shot in low light yet. I think in practical terms-there really isn’t much of a difference between the two except for resolution. And to make the most of it and not be disappointed, one has to get the best lenses.

On the other side, the image samples of d800 have sometimes been a little too flat .
What is your impression ( I now, in RAW you can change everything you want )
Thanks
Juergen

Looking forward to the uncompressed hdmi out although it still sounds like the 5dmk3’s video is still pretty excellent and nice for grading.
