Interesting Low Light Camera Ranking From Adorama
Jan 24, 2014 20:19:50 #
Yes, I'm a Nikon Shooter, but I didn't rank the cameras. I just thought this was interesting for anyone who is looking for cameras that excel at taking pictures in low light.
Canon Shooters, please don't flame me.........

Interesting that the "Dark Side" does better in the dark...at least in this review. (I love my D800)

Lots of Sony sensors in there...I know that with my E-PL5 at ISO 25,600 I get lots of noise, but at f/3.5 and handheld shutter speeds I can just about see in the dark.

Dark Side? That's funny. Nikon has always been regarded really well for low light picture taking abilities. And just to be nice.....Canon is highly regarded for video abilities. Since video is simply not important to me, I'll take better low light.......

Looks like jerryc41 beat you to the punch on this post by about eight hours.

Very interesting that Sony sensors seem to do so well. My first digital camera was a Sony DSC-F828. Has a Zeiss lens and does a pretty good job, but the DSC-F828 is notorious for noise in low light and it also has significant issues with chromatic aberration - the dreaded "purple fringe." I suppose that Sony must've have learned a few things in the last decade.

Yes, of course. But there's WAAAAAY more to low light photography than just the sensor.

Suspicious ratings at best.
The D800 ( which is a superb camera ) is nice at high ISO ( up to 3200 or so.
But it is better than the D4 ?? I don't think so !
I have seen pics taken with a D4 at 25000 ISO and right out of the camera they were a bit noisy but better than the ones from a D800 at 3200.
Meanwhile, Pop Photo magazine choosed the CANON 5D Mk III over the D800 for their camera of the year mainly because of its superior HIgh ISO noise performance. ( and the CANON 1Dx is better yet ! ).
ADORAMA picked 20 cameras at random or used some other method ( which was not clearly defined).
Scott Kelby, who knows a bit about cameras, recently switched from NIKON to CANON. There has to be a reason for that !

When a highly regarded pro switches brands, they say they do it for all sorts of reasons, but I know a pro who tells me, they are courted mightily by the manufacturers. I'd be willing to guess Scott's migration was greatly influenced by Canon incentives.
Another famous photogrpaher Tamara Lackey, recently switched from Canon to Nikon. http://tamaralackeyblog.com/switch-from-canon-to-nikon/
These defections don't really mean much.........
