Reading mode: Light Dark

Sample: 5D Mk II and colors & vividness

Go to last post
I used a 5D for a couple years before getting a 5D II - and I still use both bodies. Both are fine cameras. I can't say that I notice any particular remarkable increase in "colors and vividness" in the 5D II compared to the 5D.

Nice photos.

I tried this camera in a Tulip field, the outcome in terms of colors
and vividness is superior:

Having come from a 5D and gone to a 5D2, my experience was that I could no longer get enough color saturation and contrast using FAITHFUL as a picture style. I went to STANDARD in the 5D2 to increase saturation and contrast, and aso had to increase sharpening. My 5D needed almost no PP, but the 5D2 needs a great deal of pushing in PP to get what I am accustomed to. Is that others experience?

I'll have to disagree with that. I don't see anything special about the colors or vividness in those photos, and any APS-C or just about any decent P&S could produce similar or possibly even better colors and/or vividness, especially when taking post processing and/or all possible camera settings into consideration. Even lenses could make a difference, and of course the original scene/subject and the light that falls upon it.

The colors in the photos are nice and rich, but not "superior".

I totally agree with you. I love the 5D images better than those of the 5D2.

My Kodak SLR/c has much better "color and vividness" than my Canon 5DII, at base ISO. Sure, the Canon is better at higher ISO, but the Canon 5DII is nothing to brag about at base ISO. Shooting mostly landscapes, I'm almost always at base ISO.
