Canon 5D Mark III underwhelms on sensor test

New DXO tests will please the Nikonians - the Nikon D800 fares better than the new 5DIII. However, none of the top cameras in production are really a bad investment in terms of quality (well that may well be a different discussion entirely and best left to another time) if you can afford your dream machine. The equipment out there - be it Nikon or Canon, or Fuji or even any of the Micro Four Thirds - the equipment available to discerning taste is amazing. All we have to do is figure out how to work our machine of choice (and pay for it) then put our photographic eye to work. In a way, we have no excuse for producing a bad image - we can capture all the light we want - the key now is to do it right. There is nothing uglier than a pretty picture badly focused, badly composed, or just plain boring.
