My father is 90 years old. He is part of the Greatest Generation. He has, at this point, mobility, strength, balance and respiratory problems. After three serious falls, he was anxious about moving and his days were spent in a recliner. Getting out of the chair and into another room was a logistic and exhausting endeavor. I was concerned he might fall again. The Nova 22 inch rolling walker has greatly improved his life. He puts his portable oxygen tank in the seat compartment and now walks throughout the house with confidence. He has sat out in his yard for the first time since last fall. The brakes are easy for him to manage and he now has a comfortable chair wherever he needs. The handles are well placed and the brakes walking or sitting make him feel secure. The handles serve as arms when he is sitting and keep him secure. My 88 year old mother, who has macular degeneration and strength issues, often borrows his chair to assist her, as well. The Nova is helping my parents stay in their home, and feel independent (with assistance from family members). My dad gave me my first bicycle. I am so happy to have had the chance to give him his new wheels and a better quality of life.
We love this walker and have had bad experiences with other walkers for several years. My husband, for whom it was purchsed, has a balance problem and has fallen frequently. This walker is strong, sturdy and steers easily. He uses it with confidence. We live in a retirement community and I have recommended to anumber of our friends.
I liked the first one I purchased so much that I went ahead and purchased another one in a different color just in case Overstock did not have these anymore for some reason. It is hard for me to walk without using my rollator. Thank you, Overstock, for carrying such high quality merchandise that I don't have to worry about it not meeting my needs. You are always there for my family and me.
I use this walker for small walks since I have not been able to walk any distance for a long time. I feel secure having it so I can sit when it gets too painful to walk or I quickly tire. It might help to have a softer seat, but not really complaining.
Don't have stability issues instead duration in walking and standing due to pinched nerves in lower back. I require frequent sitting down during long walks or standing in once place too long, legs go numb. Bought this so I once again could enjoy air shows, museums etc and now ALWAYS have a place to sit when I need to. Enjoyed going to a science museum last weekend. Love the padded lumbar support bar and seat!! I rely on the bus so needed something light and manageable. Has a great "locking" feature that keeps unit closed when folded, no more bungee cords! Folds flatter than most other styles. Brakes easy to use and work well. Came 95% assembled just had to insert the handles and a couple of other minor things. No tools required and literally was ready to go in 5 minutes! Fast, free shipping! I'm very happy with product and seller!! Get the handy cup holder. (PS: I went to medical store first for hands-on shopping so knew exactly what I was buying. Store's prices were outrageous!!)
Saved $!@# over buying it at a local health shop. Same identical #4422 Nova rollator!
This is a great walker. My only disappointment is the bag under the seat. This makes folding it a lot harder and cumbersome to travel with. Other than that all the features are wonderful!

- How to Read a Study Record
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of directly observed therapy plus antidepressant medication in improving adherence to antiretroviral drug therapy among HIV-infected homeless and marginally housed people with depression.
Condition | Intervention | Phase |
HIV Infections Depression |
Behavioral: Directly Observed Therapy (DOT) Drug: Fluoxetine |
Phase 2 |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Allocation: Randomized Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment Masking: Open Label Primary Purpose: Treatment |
Official Title: | Depression Treatment to Improve Antiretroviral Adherence |
- Improved depression scores [ Time Frame: Measured at the end of 9 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- HIV viral load [ Time Frame: Measured monthly for 9 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- CD4 Count [ Time Frame: Measured at baseline and Months 3, 6, and 9 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Enrollment: | 150 |
Study Start Date: | January 2001 |
Study Completion Date: | August 2006 |
Primary Completion Date: | August 2006 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
Arms | Assigned Interventions |
Experimental: Treatment
Participants receiving storefront directly observed therapy of anti-depressants (Fluoxetine)
Behavioral: Directly Observed Therapy (DOT)
DOT includes storefront directly observed therapy of prescribed anti-depressants. Participants will meet with a study psychiatrist, who will prescribe an appropriate antidepressant medication. Subsequent meetings with the psychiatrist will occur weekly for the first 3 weeks, and then monthly for the duration of the study. Additionally, participants will have DOT visits every weekday morning for 1 month to take their antidepressant medications. After the first month, DOT visits will occur weekly or biweekly, depending on the medication regimen.
Drug: Fluoxetine
Medication treatment includes flouxetine for treatment of depression.
No Intervention: Control
Participants receiving referral to mental health follow-up with the UCSF AIDS Health Project
Detailed Description:
Antiretroviral drug therapy (ART) is a type of medication treatment for HIV that impairs the virus's ability to multiply. When used properly, it has been shown to be successful in reducing HIV-related deaths. A 95% adherence rate to ART is required to adequately suppress the virus and prevent transmission. Low ART adherence rates are often linked to depression, which is especially common in HIV-infected homeless or marginally housed people. In these cases, treatment with antidepressant medication may be useful in improving ART adherence. Directly Observed Therapy (DOT), in which medication intake is closely monitored, is another method of enhancing treatment compliance. DOT improved treatment adherence during the tuberculosis epidemic of the 1990s, and is now gaining recognition as a model for improving ART adherence. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of combining DOT and antidepressant medication in improving ART adherence among HIV-infected homeless and marginally housed people with depression.
Participants in this 9-month, open-label study will be randomly assigned to a treatment group or a control group. The control group will be given the phone number of the University of California, San Francisco AIDS Health Project (AHP) to call and make an appointment with a psychiatrist. Participants who attend appointments will be evaluated to determine their mental health status. Participants who are deemed to benefit from treatment will be scheduled for regular appointments at the AHP, but will be responsible for administering their own medications. The treatment group will meet with a study psychiatrist, who will prescribe an appropriate antidepressant medication. Subsequent meetings with the psychiatrist will occur weekly for the first 3 weeks, and then monthly for the duration of the study. Additionally, participants will have DOT visits every weekday morning for 1 month to take their antidepressant medications. After the first month, DOT visits will occur weekly or biweekly, depending on the medication regimen. If an individual does not attend a visit, study staff will try to locate the individual in the neighborhood to deliver the medication. Medication for the weekend will be prepared by study staff, but participants will take it on their own at home. For the last 2 months of the study, DOT visits will occur once monthly, at which time participants will receive their entire month's supply of medication.
Participants in both groups will be asked to report to the study site weekly for 6 months and then monthly for the final 3 months to provide an update on the status of their housing, healthcare providers, case managers, and HIV medications. Additional interviews about housing, income, use of health services, drug use, sexual practices, and mental health will occur at the beginning of the study and three more times throughout the study. Blood tests will be performed monthly to assess viral load, and every 3 months to assess CD4 count. Participants taking HIV medications will be visited by study staff at home once a month so that use of HIV medications can be determined. At the end of the study, participants in the control group may continue receiving treatment at the AHP. Six months after the end of the study, participants in the treatment group may also begin treatment with a psychiatrist at the AHP.

20.05.2012 /
Spain's Alberto Moncayo managed to survive a race that scattered half the field in the gravel like wet confetti when he rode his KALEX-KTM into second place in Round 4 of the Moto3 Grand Prix on the rain-soaked Le Mans circuit.
Alberto Moncayo finished the dramatic race behind French rider Louis Rossi in what transpired as a battle of attrition that spared neither veterans nor newcomers. Only 15 of the 32 starters registered a result at the traditional French venue.
Red Bull KTM factory rider and championship leader Sandro Cortese started on the second line on the KTM Moto3 bike and rode a careful race in the middle of the pack while riders disappeared both in front and behind him. After a series of race incidents he looked set to pick up second place as the 24 laps drew to a dramatic close. Then he too got caught in the treacherous conditions and it was only impressive acrobatics and excellent balance that kept him upright. Cortese went on to finish in sixth but still picked up ten championship points to extend his lead in the championship by twelve points.
Austrian Arthur Sissis, riding in his rookie year with the KTM factory team, showed maturity and bravery for his fifth place and career best in the series. The only other KTM rider to finish in the points was Niklas Ajo of Finland who somehow finished the race in fifteenth place after a crash and a visit back to the pits.
It was a disappointing race for KTM's Malaysian rider Zulfahmi Khairuddin who started well and even led the race for some of the opening laps before dropping back to fifth. He too was caught out with only a handful of laps to go and ended in the gravel. Another victim was long time race leader, veteran Spanish rider Hector Faubel who exited on the KALEX-KTM in the second half of the race during a phase that saw three of the top six go down including fourth placed Luis Salom on the RW KALEX-KTM.
Bruised and battered Moto3 riders now have till June 3 to regroup when they will reconvene at the Catalunya Circuit for Round 5 in what is shaping up to be an eventful and exciting first year of racing in this new Moto3 GP class.

Daily OCD 2/21/13 | |
Written by Jen Vaughn | Filed under Tom Kaczynski, Richard Sala, Daily OCD, Charles M Schulz | 21 Feb 2013 6:33 PM |
The best cover band made of dogs of Online Commentaries & Diversions:
• Review: Unshelved reads Delphine by Richard Sala. Shivering with delicious fear, Gene Ambaum says "I'm a huge fan of Sala's graphic novels, like Cat Burglar Black. And the dust jacket-less cover, with its graphics and the inset color image of a girl walking through a dark forest, looked exquisite."
• Review: Rob Clough of High-Low looks at Beta Testing the Apocalypse by Tom Kaczynski. "His stories address aspects of modern civilization and the ways in which they break down.…Kaczynski really has his finger on the collective neuroses of the new millennium. A recurring theme in this book is how Kaczynski taps into how various of our senses have been warped through modern living."
• Review: Rob Clough runs a review from 2007 on his site, High-Low, on Peanuts 1967-68 and 1969-70 by Charles Schulz. "In terms of the visuals, Schulz is years into his mature style. He's exactly what I mean when I talk about an artist needing to find the ideal style with which to express themselves with clarity. For Schulz, though his line is spare, it's full of life and liveliness."

This was not my first order, but it was my first custom order. I chose to order a skin for my Kobo GLO with an image of my horse and a citation form a French author. I had a lot of fun to design the image and when I finally sent it to iStyles, I couldn't wait to see the results. And I was thrilled when it arrived ! It was so beautiful and it really suits my Kobo. Now, I know that my next order for my iPhone will be a custom skin and nothing else. :-)Samantha Terrasse, Switzerland

I was really happy to buy this because of how much easier it would make removing nuts and bolts. I thought it was made in the USA because Craftsman has always had their hand tools with the lifetime warrenty made in the USA. Besides this I am really happy with the lifetime warrenty im sure i will need. It has made everything much faster now with the addition of these.

This is my third set of open end ratcheting wrenches and my first set of box end ratcheting wrenches. I absolutely love them. The body of them are the typical wrench body made in China. But, they are still polished, strong, and comfortable. The open end ratcheting portion are very smooth. The box ends are not reversible (i.e. have the switch), but with a quick flip of the wrench, they work just as well. The movement is smooth and these really speed up the work. I really like this set.

I brought these wrenches before starting my strut replacement project and I glad I did even though I have regular combination wrenches and socket wrenches in the same size these ratching combination wrench allowed me loosen and tighten nuts and bolts better than any other wrench I had on hand. They are a huge improvement over the old style double ratcheting box wrenches I had a long time ago. The finish and fit are excellent. The ratcheting mechanism is smooth.

I replaced a set of Gear wrench ratchet wrenches with these. The open end ratchet system is great when in tight places loosening bolts. Sears lifetime warranty makes this even better. Highly recommended!
It's a nice concept, but in practical use, the open-ended ratcheting ends up being more of a hindrance. The design does not allow any fine tuning while wrenching. You can't use them in the reverse direction. For example, you can not loosen or tighten something just a bit if you tightened or loosened it too much. Because of the ratcheting mechanism, it just spins. Also, the heads are angled slightly and it seems to always be the wrong way. Something that is very annoying is on the closed-end, you never know which way to set the wrench. You can't tell if it is set to loosen or tighten. There is a cryptic Z on one side which I've now used to help me know which is which, but I have an old set of Craftsman ratcheting wrenches, and they have an OFF-->, and an ON--> stamped right next to the head so you can easily tell which way it should be oriented. If I had the choice again, I would get the single ratcheting kit, item 35414 even if it is more expensive.

How to put up curtains and blinds
Curtains and blinds block out light and drafts, as well as giving you more privacy. But they can also be a distinctive design feature - introducing colour, pattern and texture into any room in your home. Curtain tracks and poles, too, come in loads of different designs to suit every style of interior. But if you're going for ready-made curtains it's a good idea to choose them before you buy your track or pole, as you might find they're designed to be hung from a particular type of fitting.

Chief Charlo of the Salish VOLUME 15 NUMBER 1 MONTH OF THE BITTER ROOT Chief Koostatah of the Kootenai MAY 16, 1986 No dams on the Flathead right now, Council tells Pondera Hydro PABLO -- The Tribal Council decided last week to "not show interest" in two Tribal members' plans to conduct feasibility studies on the Flathead River with an eye towards hydropower development. The decision was not accompanied by a formal vote. Had it been, the action could conceivably have been challenged under the Tribal constitution. N( Fred Houle, Jr., and Wally Weivoda, officers of Pondera Hydro, Inc., met with the Council May 9 to question the decision. "Is there any way we could structure this [their joint-management proposal] to please everyone?" Houle asked. "Our prime question was 'Do we want to dramatically alter the river?' We answered 'No' unanimously," Council chairman Ron Therriault answered. Since PHI first met with the Council in March, Therriault explained to the 20 or so people at the May 9 meeting, "We've gone, over a considerable amount of information and decided unanimously to not show interest. We didn't vote because we were dealing with a proposal." The Council had spent part of the week of May 5-9 in and out of meetings and executive sessions to discuss the merits of the PHI proposal, he said. "Needless to say, I am very disappointed in this decision," Houle said, reading from a three-page written statement. "I'm also surprised at the way this (Concludes on page two) 10 u §§ ¦i L o Ok CM o & CT) IO ? CM W M Happy anniversary to us! This issue marks the beginning of The Char-Koosta News' 15th consecutive year of publication. The paper made its debut back in 1956 as an effort to inform the Tribal membership about the decade's termination mentality. Political pressure from someone on the Tribal Council led to its temporary suspension in 1961. Following two issues in mid-1971, the paper was reborn in earnest in April of 1972, and it's been busy keeping track of news in Indian Country ever since. We hope we survive the upcoming budget season -- which may see Tribal programs cinching their figurative belts so tight their belly-buttons kiss their vertebrae -- to be around for another 15 years or more. 1 New series: Alcoholism Q and A.................

Jackson is planning to hold the hiring process until the Knicks can get an audience with Fisher, who is a reserve guard for the Oklahoma City Thunder, with Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals on Monday.
Last week before Steve Kerr chose the Golden State Warriors over the Knicks, Fisher reminded media he is not yet retired.
"I would tell people to allow me to finish my career as a player before they give me another job after that. It's humbling, just to think about people thinking of me in that manner, especially while I'm still playing. (But) I promise you this is the last thing on my mind at this point. I really haven't thought about it that much. Hopefully there's a lot of basketball left to be played this season for sure. Once that's done we'll go from there."
Kerr delayed his decision after getting Jackson's blessing to look into the opportunity with the Warriors. He finalized a five-year, $22 million contract to be a first-time head coach with Golden State and left the Knicks window-shopping for another candidate.
Fisher played for Jackson with the Los Angeles Lakers and the 18-year veteran would be, like Kerr, hired without ever being a head coach at any level. Fisher does have intimate working knowledge of Jackson's personality and preferences and, more important perhaps, the triangle offense he wants to employ.
Mike Dunleavy Sr. and Bill Cartwright are former head coaches who have met with Jackson during the Knicks' waiting game.
Kurt Rambis and Luke Walton, who have their own Jackson ties, could emerge as next-tier candidates or assistant coaches. Scottie Pippen, who played for Jackson with the Chicago Bulls, discussed a position on the coaching staff as well but is not being considered as head coach.

On the prehistoric planet of Biozoic, life is short, quick, and brutal. At a lightning pace, creatures of all shapes and sizes fight to stay alive. This mostly improvised and wordless comic, with a non-traditional story should appeal to fans of dinosaurs, aliens, monsters, and other creatures.
Tyler Stafford (superfluous) says:
I just read through all of your comics; I really dig your style. awesome work.
Amy Letts (amuletts) says:
Oh man I am sooo jealous of your inking. I really suck in that area :p This is a really great transformational sequence. I have a webcomic if you fancy looking at it. Epic Fail at http://epicfail.xepher.net It's a comedic fantasy.
daniel demski (dranorter) says:
Hey this is really cool! I love how you build up to these guys by showing the seeds at transitions throughout. I read on your livejournal that you started this 'final chapter' in 2006... the story is almost complete! But not quite.
Cole Stevens (caps) says:
Like the previous poster, I too sat down and devoured my way through this comic. I must say, there are few other comics I have seen that are as engaging simply through artwork and nonverbal communication of animalistic tenacity and violence. Its as if Katsuhiro Otomo, H.R. Giger and every conceivable possibility of the minds of the developers of Spore are held inside your mind and given psilocybin mushrooms. Truly stunning and I hope you continue with gusto.

This 2010 successor to the APO MACRO 150mm F2.8 EX DG HSM, which came on the market in October 2004, incorporates the latest innovations in optics technology.
Sigma designed a floating focusing system two moving lens element groups to enhance the optical quality down to macro 1:1. Three low-dispersion glass elements were also used to try and correct chromatic aberrations. The OS letters in the name stand for "Optical Stabilization" and help you keeping you from moving when shooting in low light.
And, even if this design is quite heavy and expensive, it performs nicely:
As we have not yet tested the Canon and Nikon 150mm, we will here compare the Sigma 150mm with a Canon 100mm instead. Both lenses are generally used for portrait, macro, and sports photography.
Sigma APO MACRO 150mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM Canon vs Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM mounted on a Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III body:
Technically, both lenses have both the same good and bad qualities, so users will need to find other criteria to use for choosing between them - specifically, users should refer to the manufacturers' specifications (included in their DxOMark profiles), paying particular attention to price, weight, number of glass elements, and of course the focal length.
The Sigma, at 1099USD, is twice as expensive as Canon (536USD), and it is also twice as heavy (1179g vs. Canon's 600g).
Several factors explain these differences: first of all, the Sigma lens contains 19 glass elements compared to the Canon's 12; second, the Sigma's mechanics are heavier, and it has a tripod stand; and third, although they are the same length (79mm), the Sigma has a much larger diameter (72mm vs. the Canon's 58mm).
Taking into consideration this analysis, our advice is - if you do not absolutely require a 150mm lens, you should opt for the Canon 100mm. You will get the same quality at a much better price, without the inconvenience of greater weight and bulkiness.

Received the replacement Sigma 150mm EX DG OS HSM APO last week. This lens seems to be very sharp at f2.8. I have my own routine for testing new lenses and this one passed easily. The lens is a fine replacement for Sigma's original 150mm f2.8.
With my 5D2 I can hand hold the lens to 1/25th second in flourescent lighting that requires F2.8 at ISO 3200 with -1 stop exposure adjustment. I do not know the lux value of that setting. I think that is EV -1. I do not think the OS is really good for 4 stops as advertised, but it is good for 2 stops for sure under these lighting conditions. That puts it on par with my Canon 300mm f4 L IS lens. I have no scientific evidence, but that's what it seems like to me. The auto focus with my 5D2 is a little quirky under the very dim conditions described above. By that I mean that it I can not always use the center af point alone. I have not tried this same test with my 7D, which has a better autofocus system than the 5D2. Reply | Read all replies for this comment |

Re: follow upQuote: <div id="linkdxomark"> With my 5D2 I can hand hold the lens to 1/25th second in flourescent lighting that requires F2.8 at ISO 3200 with -1 stop exposure adjustment. 1/25s, f/2.8, ISO3200 = 2.6 LV If you have to use -1 EVcomp in camera to get the exposure you want, that means that you are getting the camera to expose shorter (considering just the variation of shutter speed) than its metering wants too, and that otherwise the camera would treat it as a 1.6 LV exposure. If instead you apply -1 EV in post processing in your raw processor and no EVcomp in camera, that means that you think that the 2.6 LV exposure that the camera chose is too long and, in your opinion, the metering should have treated the scene as a 3.6 LV exposure.

Sigma 150mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM APO
I received mine by UPS on June 29th. I sent it back to the distributor on July 1st. The OS was not functional and the resolution was horrible. I did ask for a replacement rather than my money back. My fingers are crossed. I really want a macro lens of this focal length, or longer, that has image stabilization and is somewhat weather sealed. Sigma's old 150mm is the lens I used most often with my Canon 5D and 7D cameras. I never used the lens indoors. It was always outside in the elements, so I had to send it in to get dust removed. Now, I am wishing I had kept that lens. Instead, I am hoping that the new model will live up to the quality of the old one.

Re: Sigma 150mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM APO
Sigma produces very good lenses,
but quality control is really bad, only 3rd lense was without focus issues(I have 50/1.4) ------------------------------------------------------ http://photo-wed.blogspot.com/ Reply |

Introduction | Canon 5D Mark III Hands-on Review | Canon 5D Mark III versus competition | Canon 5D Mark III Sensor performance | Canon 5D Mark III versus Nikon D800 |
In a few weeks, Canon and Nikon will start delivering the first samples of their new professional full-frame cameras. Spring 2012 has seen a completely new generation of 24x36 bodies: the Canon EOS-1D X and EOS 5D Mark III, and the Nikon D4 and D800.
Among these, the Canon EOS 5D Mark III was the last to have been announced. Now that the whole family is together at last, let's compare the 5D Mark III with its predecessor, the EOS 5D Mark II, to see what kind of progress there's been, and then see how the 5D Mark III stacks up against its big brother, the reporter's dream camera, the EOS-1D X. We will also pit the 5D Mark III's results against those of its direct Nikon competitor, the D800.

If, during the evolution of the EOS 5D into the EOS 5D Mark II, Canon retained its initial design —that is, using a large full-frame sensor in a light-weight body — in coming up with the EOS 5D Mark III, Canon has fully answered the expectations of photographers who have been waiting for a "Full-Frame EOS 7D." Ultimately, the 5D Mark III turns out to be a baby-EOS-1D X, from which it draws so much of its inspiration. (In this regard, Canon utilizes the same approach as Nikon.)
The EOS 5D Mark III displays several important advances:
All this means that the EOS 5D Mark III is a much more serious reflex camera than its predecessor. What really marks it as a truly professional reflex camera is its uniformity, a quality that the 5D Mark II lacked (along with a suitable finish, autofocus, and viewfinder, all of which reduced the impact of the 5D Mark II's overall good image quality). The EOS 5D Mark IIIl appears to have made progress in all these areas as well as in autonomy, offering 100 more shots per battery charge. (Happily, the EOS 5D Mark III works with the same batteries as the EOS 5D Mark II and the EOS 7D).
So again, this spring Canon is launching a more professional camera, more robust, more responsive, and more efficient. As for the EOS 5D Mark II, it will continue to be sold through the end of 2012 at a price that is 40% less expensive than the Mark III (a pretty good deal for a full-frame camera, by the way).
Now, some photographers may accuse Canon of stagnation for using a sensor with essentially the identical resolution as the 5D Mark II's that came out three years ago. At the time, Canon was emphasizing resolution, whereas Nikon focused more on sensitivity in low light. Astoundingly enough, these roles have been reversed this year with the unveiling of the Nikon D800 and the 5D Mark III. Nikon is betting more on resolution, whereas Canon claims that it has completely redesigned its sensor such that it should permit a gain of 2 EV over the previous model, thanks to a better microlens array that is supposed to greatly improve the "fill factor"— that is, the percentage of the sensor surface allocated to capturing light. The higher the fill factor, the better the photonic signal-to-noise ratio. We will wait and see if all the DxOMark scores verify such stellar promises!
The DxOMark comparison is available here: Canon EOS 5D Mark III vs Canon EOS-1D X
We've already said that the EOS 5D Mark III can be considered a baby-EOS-1D X, because it utilizes some of the same up-to-date technologies, such as 61-point autofocus and measuring exposure via a 100,000-pixel, 63-zone iCFL color sensor. But a baby-EOS-1D X is not an EOS-1D X: the EOS 5D Mark III's autofocus, so close to that of its big brother, is not as fast (a double Digic 5+ processor for the former versus a single DIGIC 5+ processor makes a big difference), nor does it couple color measurement to exposure, as does the EOS-1D X's.
Although the EOS 5D Mark III has nothing to be ashamed of in terms of its burst shooting rate (6i/s) when compared to its predecessor or to the Nikon D800, the EOS 1-D X still claims the lead with burst shooting at 12 i/s (and even 14 i/s without exposure meter or autofocus, mirror raised).
And while the sensor definition is fairly close for the two cameras (i.e., 18 and 22 megapixels, respectively), one can quite naturally assume that the EOS-1D X's sensor has the upper hand. Short of surprising test results, the EOS-1D X will most likely further cement its position as an excellent camera for reportage, for field work, and for quality photos in low light.
Finally, the finish, the tropicalization, and the overall robustness of the EOS 1-D X are still a notch above those of the EOS 5D Mark III, despite the progress Canon has made with its third generation of 5D cameras. More professional, the EOS-1D X retains certain exclusive features in the Canon reflex line that allow it to insert itself better into one's workflow — for example, its RJ45 ethernet port.
Still, the EOS 5D Mark III has quite a few things in its favor, including portability and discretion (when in silent mode), its greater affordability, and a headphone jack for video mode — an important refinement, especially if shooting video is a priority for your work.
The DxOMark comparison is available here: Canon EOS 5D Mark III vs Nikon D800
With Canon EOS 5D Mark III, the Nikon D800 has finally met its match! The Nikon D700 was never really in competition with the Canon EOS 5D Mark II (which did not impede it from being an amazing commercial success), given that the latter really had nothing to offer other than the quality of its sensor, which broke all the records for definition for full-frame cameras at the time. But now things have changed, and in many respects — except for their sensors — the two rivals are on par: tropicalization, viewfinder at 100%, an efficient autofocus based on that of a pro reflex, Full HD video with headphone jack, advanced exposure metering (63-zone iCFL for the one, and a 91,000-pixel scene recognition sensor for the other), etc., etc., etc.
The duel between the Nikon D800 and the EOS 5D Mark III would most certainly take place except that the different sensors each one has adopted makes it difficult to do a head-to-head comparison. Both sensors offer different advantages —in principle, sensitivity for the Canon and definition for the Nikon. With its 36 megapixels, the Nikon D800 clearly has concentrated its efforts on fine detail reproduction (and reinforces this position with its unfiltered model D800E).
For its part, the Canon EOS 5D Mark III chose to make a grand compromise: with its 22 megapixels, it offers both higher definition and in theory, higher sensitivity.
One is tempted to think that it will be easier to use certain lenses on the Canon when similar lenses might have problems handling the Nikon D800's 36 megapixels.
But with respect to this last point, given the same pixel pitch and technology with which we are already acquainted (thanks to the D7000), our DxOMark tests will ultimately tell us whether the Nikon D800's high definition show a noticeable and measurable gain in sharpness over the 5D Mark III in the images it produces.
In any event, our tests will certainly shed a lot of light about what is real and what is fantasy about the Nikon D800's sensor. And given its claims of having worked on optimizing its sensor image quality, Canon may yet have some surprises in store as well.
Its video gave the EOS 5D Mark II a big boost. After coming out with a D700 without this "must-have" feature, Nikon bounced back in a beautiful way by equipping its new offering with these cutting-edge features: Full HD, 30p progressive scan, a microphone jack and headphone output with a view meter, all exactly like the Canon EOS 5D Mark III (although Canon claims to have considerably improved the moiré in its videos in this new iteration). As for the Nikon D800, it is the only camera to offer the possibility of recording uncompressed video flow via HDMI output, a feature that may certainly prove seductive to certain studios and broadcast media.
The gap between the two rivals has closed considerably in terms of body characteristics and features, finish, viewfinder, etc. But as ever, these cameras differ most in their underlying design philosophies.
Our DxOMark comparative tests for these two reflex cameras and their sensors will definitely measure and determine the veracity of these two principal claims:
The match will be exciting!
