Michael, have I missed your 5D3 review?

They state clearly that the rating is only valuable to "compare" cameras in a given class.

Cheers,

Asking posters to stop threads? Deliberately trying to reduce rivalry? Why would they do that!? Isn't it every forum owner's wet dream? With D800, DPReview forum posts are once again reaching 150 posts limit... before that, the most interesting discussions barely reached the snore-inducing 48-50 posts.

Good point! But you should have seen the wailing and gnashing of teeth. It was awful to behold.

So I have read alot of the comments essentially it comes down to what you shoot landscape go get your nikon 800, action get your canon 5d mk111. the 5d Mk 111 a ff 7d it is a much better camera then a 7d I have owned both. First full frame canon I want two of. They really are cameras for different pruposes so get over it. There is no right answer for everyone. What you shoot determines what you buy. David
