[vimeo]http://vimeo.com/44064956[/vimeo] I’ve shot a comparison in Berlin today between my modified 5D Mark III and the standard 5D Mark III. The modified 5D Mark III is similar to the Nikon D800E in that the anti-aliasing filter has been removed. (Which is why the modified 5D Mark III is dubbed 5D3E in the video). But is it any good?

[vimeo]http://vimeo.com/42091083[/vimeo] This is a torture test of the low light abilities of 3 cameras. There are three test scenes in a battered old ex-factory in the east of Berlin. The first consists of a completely pitch black room with glowing pearl lighting. The next one is in the roof is lit using a single iPhone 4S torch with the cameras ramped up to ISO 12,800. The third scene is again…

First and foremost – a huge thank you to James Miller for the inspiration and guidance Disclaimer: I accept no liability, nor can I recommend this risky operation on your camera unless you are totally insane! Over Easter I disassembled my 5D Mark III. The aim is to remove the optical low pass filter that sits in front of the sensor block, a drastic operation pioneered by James Miller last…
Good news for Nikon D800 owners. Mosaic Engineering are currently working on anti-aliasing filter for the camera. Because the sensor line-skips to produce HD video, the custom-designed optical low pass filter should almost eliminate any moire and aliasing on the D800 if it works as well as it did on the Canon 5D Mark II.

Don’t hastily modify your 5D Mark III without the necessary technical knowledge and research. Opening the camera voids the warranty and risks irreparable damage. James Miller has decided to open up his brand new Canon 5D Mark III, tear it…
