Went out to Big Beach on Maui today to run different tests out the 5Diii (Its my day off, I really like what I do!). Most of these shots were taken, one handed with a Canon 24-70 2.8L . It is kind of hard to predict when a skim-boarder will actually launch.
I was walking around looking for some nice textures to film to test out slow motion software, and I saw these guys going nuts on the waves so I decided to do a few speed tests. Flipped the 5Diii over to high burst mode…and wow…it feels like a 7D, but better. Granted the 7D can get off 2 more frames a second, but it was practically unnoticeable.
The sharpness, detail and color out of the 5Diii were very, very good. Much better than the 7D (I think I have some of those tests on here too from last year). I did add some contrast and saturation in Adobe Camera RAW.
Most of the shots were 1/4000, f4, ISO 400
I’m always comparing my 7d to the newer cameras and was curious if you did any cropping on the skim boarders? and if so can you estimate how much?
