    How can the guy compare the two tree photos? Totally different lighting.

    Most of what he writes seem to be about not wanting to carry a big camera!

    Someone should get him a nice box of crayons and a colouring book.
    How long did he have to wait for the light to change so much?
    Weeks?

    Quite so unless Nikon have some magic way of eliminating shadows.

    Showing 200% on the D3 and 100% on the a900 is quite an interesting point. I have seen a similar point made in discussing high ISO noise where the a900 improves in comparison with the D3/D700 when it is downscaled to 12MP.

    Anyway, I can't, personally, see many having to choose between the high ISO or the high resolution solutions but it will be interesting to see some reviews, rather than previews, of the 5Dii which seems to offer both.

    It shouldn't be 200% anyway it should be 141.42%.
