Not to hijack the thread, but just to post an example of what I found very interesting with the D800. My initial thought of added DR over the 5D3 was shadow/highlight detail. But actually (this might not even be DR), the gradations in skin tones and mid tones is much smoother. I\'ve always battled Canon files because of too much contrast sometimes.
Oh, and \'recovery\' in LR actually does something with D800 files, not to mention the amazing shadow detail as posted in the OP.
Mind you the color is very different SOOC, but, they can both be processed similarly for WB and saturation. I have found that the D800 has quite a bit more color depth and breadth vs the 5D3. They look much more \"true to scene\", and very much like what I expect out of a MFDB.
I hope you don\'t mind me playing with and reuploading your files. If you do, just let me know and I\'ll remove.
I spent a few minutes with this in Photoshop. Obviously it would be easier to do and better in LR.
The point really is not that the Canon files are this or that (better or worse) but that they\'re different. You can\'t expect two files from two different cameras to be the same. You either have to make them both look like a standard (like a colour checker passport) or make one look the same as the other.
It takes effort, but that\'s what post production is for - turning what you get off the sensor into what you want. Learning how to process your files effectively is an incredibly important part of shooting raw.
Here\'s the file with the \"correction\". Obviously I only had the JPEGs to work from:
