    Why do these DIGITAL cameras have ISO controlls?

    Kidding aside,


    I think that the higher ISO on the Nikon looks better and will be more manageable in PP. Lack of noise means nothing if you lose all your detail with it.


    Also you will see loss of detail on the Canon on those shots of the cats. Look in the lower left hand corner.


    In the end I agree with you overall assessment, although for photos I would prefer the Nikon and the Canon for video.

    ...and at 3200 they are both noisier still. But the Canon is less noisy in this case.
    The Canon is less noisy because of the MASSIVE amount of detail-obliterating noise reduction it has applied. Just look at how soft and seemingly out-of-focus the door edges are in the Canon shot compared to the Nikon shot. I strongly disagree with your call on this one factor, Wilson.

    @bosskev: With the slightly higher resolution, it can afford it. If you look at the image itself, it looks more "zoomed in". Scale them together, and you'll get the same detail but the noise will be reduced on the Canon.

    @ripfire: I know what you are talking about and respect your thoughts, but I am FAR from convinced that the small difference in apparent scale accounts for this HUGE difference in contrast and sharpness.

    I feel like there's a problem with your ISO comparison. Shouldn't the two images be scaled the same? I mean, if you're looking at the Canon image it's like zooming into the image and saying "Oh there, I see the noise". I say this because when it comes to crop/resize/print, those tiny dots will be reduced more so than the other.

    Is it me or does the Nikon images seem to have less noise at 3200? Im not hugely knowledgeable in photography but from what I'm seeing the Nikon is a ton sharper than the Canon...

    Mehbeh I'm wrong, please explain.

    20 fps? WTF? This makes any 1080 advantage disappear completely. It aint hi-res if it aint full frame rate, baby.

    Mind you, where I live, full frame rate is a leisurely 25 fps. Or 50 fields, if we're going to get picky about it.

    What were the settings on those noise comparison shots? The Canon version looks really washed out compared to the Nikon.

    @soopafly: Both were 1/8 at 800, 1/20 at 1600 and 1/40 at 3200, with f3.2 and white balance set at "incandescent". Not works of art, these test shots, but they were consistent across the two cameras.

    We have the same granite. Excellent.


    I guess the review is thorough, too. But back to the granite, what sealer do you use?

    it's crazy to see how the transition from film, to dSLR, to HD video in dSLR has come (we didn't even stop for standard def in dSLR's for crying out loud) all in less than about a decade.

    in terms of pure photographic capability, the d90 will still have way better high iso performance, pretty sure its faster, way better ergonomics, still has the nice backward lens capability compared to canons which is terrible, and the d90 has 11 point auto focus, just because canon crammed some extra megapixels in, doesn't really mean much, just consider that the D3 has 12 mpixels, and it is an industry standard for the highest level of pro photographay

    go nikon or go home

    As a semi-pro photographer I have to inform you that you're talking crap. Depending on the segment it's split between Canon on Nikon. Nikon has more penetration in some areas, Canon in others.

    @LittleJon: Except in sports, where it's dominated by Canon.


    And studio, also dominated by canon (unless your talking medium format).


    At anyrate, fanboys suck.


    Nikon makes good products because Canon makes good products.

    Without the other to kick them in the ass, we'd be stuck with Kodak :)
