Dont buy a Nikon

Just for fun and out of curiosity....in terms of color...which image do you think is from the 6D and which from the D750?

Which do you prefer in terms of color



Both images were produced from RAW files using ACR and the Camera standard Profiles. I thought about using Adobe standard for both but didn't. No other PP done but crop and combine into one image. Thanks all.

I tend to find that Canon orange is a little too close to red. Since there's less difference between red and orange on the right hand shot, I'm gonna say that that's the 6D.

I use a 6D and like it a lot, but I would not be able to pick out the colors it produces.

The one on the right looks a bit more saturated, but other than that these are extremely similar.

I get why we're attached to brands on some level, but over the 6 months I've read comments on here it's been getting kinda silly in my opinion.
 
Canon on the right, but I had to cheat. Aside from the overall saturation, the colour differences are tiny. Using different development profiles has a much larger effect than using different cameras.

It would be interesting to make a similar comparison using flowers as the subject. Some petal pigments have odd reflection spectra, which might show up any sensor differences more clearly. Anybody out there with both Nikon and Canon FF cameras?
 
I own EOS1DX and Nikon d750. Both camera are great, and I din't have any colour and detail problem with d750. Greater DR too.
If you never familiar with Nikon tone, don't waste your money.
For me, the the operate feeling of the button or dial , never become my issue with d750, it got same feeling with my previous Nikon gear.No thing wrong with it.

I wish I can see this kind of post at Nikon forum . I will take a seat and popcorn ready. Do you dare?
 
I think you're a bit off the mark. I plan to buy a nikon soon because I've never had one, and I expect it will be perfectly fine.
 
It already is. LOL
 
I find it difficult to understand people with really strong complaints about color from one system or the other. I shoot both systems and I never have trouble adjusting either to my satisfaction. I can understand preferring one or the other slightly different color output, but to throw up ones hands and declare one system unworkable confuses me. I don't shoot a 6d or 750, but I have a number of other canon and nikon bodies; I also don't shoot jpgs, so maybe that is where the difference lies. OP should put up some pics so we can better understand his complaint, I am always interested to learn alternate viewpoints.

p.s. Clever post Mako, I like it.
 
The grey market D810 isn't much more then a D750 BH retail and it has great reviews... or are you going back to Canon?

C'mon Op, let's hear your guess?? I would think maybe a series of 6 shots, 3 from each camera would be a better test to see how 'bad' the colour is from a Nikon! If the Op could guess all correctly, then I would actually think he has a point.
 
I just did and I am selling it, the D750.

Nikon cannot produce greens, and does all sorts of weird things with colours in general. I am also convinced it applies some sort of noise reduction at higher ISOs in thr raw. Sure,it has no colour noise but it does not have the detail of the 5dmk3. I dont understand why reviewers arent mentioning this!
Thanks for the heads up, what about Sony? should I buy one? or it's junk too? so the 36MP D800E has less details than the 5D3 in high ISO? ok, thanks again for the warning, but I saw lots of Nikon and Sony out there used by pros, perhaps those are all color blind photographers?

Funny, I always thought the following:
  • Nikon DSLRs tend to have more of a greenish tint
  • A DSLR cannot apply NR on RAW, since it's raw data
1. you should see the A7RII - it likes green [a sony sensor].

2. if you saw the actual output data from a sensor you'd enter deep internal shock, all sensor data is massaged via in-camera software before it becomes RAW.

RAW as you know it, is al-dente,

slightly cooked.
 
if you not know color management you might as well use an iPhone, optimized for good performance.

Canon can not reproduce green colors and nuances as a Sony /Nikon, true

I use both Canon and Nikon since 1984, I have no problems with green, no matter what camera I us

let us look at the sensor ranking, where is Canon regarding the different parameters?

If you are used to the beautifully made control dials of a canon, think again, the nikons are quite stiff.

I love the light weight of the D750, and I actually like the button placement too, with ISO on the left, etc. But the sensor just isnt as good as Canon!!
O.k, I'm not going to get into brand war aspect of this. However, you're totally wrong about there being no colour noise in RAW. Hell, I could load a DNG converted NEF from that camera and get all the proper noise characteristics from it in good old Photoshop CS5.

Basically, It's a little difficult to take this seriously when you're making statements which are completely refutable. Maybe the "reviewers" you speak of figured out how to turn NR off in their chosen software?
You are so correct.

There is "noise"; "color noise" and more in RAW images.

Then you have to use software to edit that adds more noise, color and or takes it away.

Choosing Adobe vs. the camera standard(s) alone can be huge.

At this point I've NEVER seen a camera that does not interact with lenses and software to produce some form of color, focus, noise or x%4#+! that has to be modified, highlighted, removed or edited...

If someone ever finds the 100% perfect camera and lens please let us ALL know! ;)

For now... I'm still trying to learn how to get the "Purple" out of my RAW 1DX files.... <ROFL>
