Kraemer Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Hi shooters, I'm debating between the 5d3 and Nikon d600 for my next cam. Was wondering if the 5D3 has any aliasing or moire artifacts? The Nikon D600 certainly does, but if the Canon also has similar issues (other than being soft) then no sense switching all my glass over to canon. I do know about Magic lantern, and wondering if the image could be sharpened thru ML? Any thoughts on this? I know a dedicated video camera such as the PMW-200 or XF300 would be better for video, but I need a dual purpose unit, thanks all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 The 5d3 does not suffer from aliasing or moire. It is criticized for being soft, though it can be sharpened fairly well in post with ease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraemer Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 Thanks Zach, I appreciate your feedback. Ya, I agree the 5d3 is called soft, would the MK2 be any sharper do you think? I'm a post production editor and really would like to avoid fiddling with the image. In the nikon world I think I'd have to fuzz outall the moire and aliasing with a motion mask--that would really be a drag... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I can't comment on if its sharper since I haven't used it, but there is aliasing all over the MK2 footage. I think they are about the same in relative terms of sharpness from what I've heard many others say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanveer Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 The Mark iii resolves more lines, and has almost no moire or aliasing. Why would you prefer the Mark ii, over it. Especially, if you are a post production editor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraemer Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 I'm not looking at the M2, but just wanted to see if I could save some $ by getting it instead of M3. Looking into the features of ML (very cool) and Also looking at nikon's D800 and D600. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
