As a hybrid video/photo guy I also appreciate the addition of the waveform monitor. I realize that photography and film have totally different evolutions but it's a little head-scratchy to me how different the color correction tools are between the two much of the time. WFM is still totally useful for stills.

Do you plan on doing any video? If yes, the mk3 is a pretty clear winner.

I chose Canon because I inherited a bunch of old Nikon manual glass from my dad, of the type that scratches the prism if you try to mount it on a Nikon DSLR. Mounts fine on my Canon with a $20 adaptor. Meters and everything. Irony!

Boneitis posted:I've been wondering about something like this. Does stopping down the aperture improve the image quality over lovely optics and lenses? Like, will a top of the line Canon lens that is shooting at 2.8 always be better than a knock-off lens that costs a tenth as much shooting at 22? Well, it's not quite that simple. Generally lenses will be at their sharpest around f8 or so, but sharpness varies across the image plane, so a lens that is tack sharp in the center even at 1.8 can be softer around the corners. There are also factors like chromatic aberration, lens flare and bokeh quality. So while a cheap lens may be just as sharp in the center at f8 as an expensive lens is at f2, that's not really a fair comparison.

That's what I have. Great kit for a beginner/broke person.

Spime Wrangler posted:It will be interesting to see how the sensor performs. Apparently it's a 40mp sensor with almost every pixel masked one way or the other for their new phase-detect AF system. I find it a little bit odd that their APSC technology strategy seems to revolve so strongly around video. Not at all, it's one of the major ways they can differentiate themselves from Nikon. Since the 5DmkII video revolution there are a lot of shooters locked into the Canon system, it makes total sense to keep them happy.
