Glad you enjoyed it. I really enjoyed the process of “making up” an experiment, writing it up and executing it.

More importantly communicating it in a way that (hopefully) most people who are interested in this could understand. I also kept it fairly open, providing the raw/jpeg files…

Understood where I went wrong with the feedback re: camera output vs Adobe interpretation. I guess i am more focused on how it “looked” at the start of my workflow, not the technical definition of “straight out of camera” JPEG.

I had anticipated the opinion that the “differences” aren’t as profound in RAW files, but are in the JPEG files. So I intentionally made sure jpeg files were captured as well, so that was a possible method of comparison.

If you really want to tease out the differences between cameras, a comparison should be made with both auto-exposure and auto-WB enabled (on a tripod so exact framing can be maintained). If you use those features and one camera constantly underexposes or maintains an AWB shift relative to the other, it will very much factor in to the day to day results you can expect from each camera (including RAW files). You also might want to seek out some subject matter with a wider/more complex color palette than in some of the previous examples.
