D4 vs D800 vs 5DmkIII Comparison by Phillip Bloom

This is a comparison video between the D4 vs D800 vs 5DMIII by Phillip Bloom. So for those who doesn't know who is Phillip Bloom, he is a London based DP and Director specialising in Depth of Field Adaptors and Video DSLRs.

You can check more of his work at his website.   .

From the video, clearly that he's a bit dissapointed with the performance of the D4 in terms of the lack of sharpness of the video mode. He also mentioned that the 5dMIII and the D800 is pretty much closer but in terms of low light performance the 5DMIII because of lower active megapixels. Not to forget to mention that  the D800 has quite a noticeable aliasing but the problem is solved by the anti-aliasing filter that he brought. But still, who wants to spend more money to fix it?

In terms of audio quality, the 5DMIII wins as it boasts of a 90 megabits of audio compression compared to the 20 megabits of the D800. But if you can get a far better external audio you should invest in it as it improves the overall audio quality of both cameras. 

The on thing that I want top point out here as well is the 5DMIII also lacks of sharpness but it is still by far the best HDSLR video period as they have a faster frames per second at 1080p although it suffers a bit in terms of sensor shaprness.

Here's another great review by Dave. Dave is an advanced amateur who often shoots video for corporate videos. You can check more about Dave through his website. 

I hope this post helps if you wanted to find just the right information if you were deciding to get yourself a Full Frame camera by Canon and Nikon.
