26Sep Out of Box ISO Noise Samples Nikon D600 vs Canon 5D Mark III
Still haven’t had time to go out to shoot with the new Nikon D600, but I was curious as to how the ISO noise would perform. I did a quick test compared to the Canon 5D Mark III which really sets the bar for ISO noise in DSLR cameras, and it’s something I use everyday. There’s not a doubt that Nikon has brought out an incredible and affordable Full Frame camera to market for still photographers, but many people are finding that the D600 falls short on a few video features.
I won’t say the lack of these features make it a bad camera, but it might be missing just enough to make you want to jump over to the Nikon D800. More on that later, but for now here’s a quick out of box ISO noise comparison.

To be honest, the Nikon did very well. I was also surprised by the D600 ISO performance in Video.
I find it surprisingly that at the same ISO Number, Nikon is always a bit brighter than than Canon.
Is their scaling method somewhat different?

How does the video quality compare to the D7000? I’ve been considering upgrading to a full frame camera for some time, but I wonder if it’s worth it. Is it that much better or should I just save up for the D800?

Hey em will you have a review up soon? My friend is willing to trade me some of his Nikon gear and move over to canon. I’m on the edge of going to Nikon with the new d600 for video purposes. Hoping to get some real hands on info from you soon. Thanks!

I’m more exciting about the new Canon 6D.

Nikon looks less contrasty, but I can’t see any difference about high-ISO noise at this scale.
