5D2 vs 1Ds3 vs P25 digital back

Have you seen this comparison here?

I must say I was quite a bit disappointed with the performance of the 5d against the 1d. Its images look less sharp and quite a bit less saturated. I hope it's simply user error.

There's a reason for the $5,000 price difference between the two.

It's more likely the RAW converter used. The sensor are the same, except that Canon has said that since the 5D MKII uses a DiG!C 4 Processor and some other small changes, that the IQ will actually be slightly better on the 5D MKII than the 1Ds MKIII

I will second this. The 5d only got preliminary support in ACR two or three days ago, and it'll take some time for people to get conversion down right.

The P25 hasn't come off to well against the two smaller-format cameras

glad I wasn't the only one to think the P25 wasn't that great compared to the Canon's.

5D mk2 looking a little soft, post processing? most probably.
