I can't seem to get decent jpgs out of the camera. I have set the jpeg processing to "Standard" in the menu. Every picture I take looks like it has blown out highlights, washed out colors and low saturation. Comparing them side by side to the RAWs in either MacOS's Preview or in Windows shows a huge difference (not in favour of the jpegs).

Comparing them to jpegs from the 6D is just a sad sight.

Anyone else have or had this problem? What can I do to fix it (if possible)? Considering selling the camera if there is no fix. Because even though I shoot RAW, I also want useable JPEG files.

Try fine detail. It retains more highlights.

The R6 is more color agnostic, try bumping the saturation by +1 to give more traditional rendering. It’s not the same as the 6D though.

I share your concerns about color. However, give it time. And pay attention to video output. I’ll let you figure out the rest. Some things you have to learn yourself. Color is one.
