Re: Canon R6 bad/washed out colors?

I am so grateful, that I am not alone with that problem!

Just for your information: I am using raw, Lightroom Classic, Canon DPP, colour calibrated monitor and have excellent color vision myself- regularly tested. Most men haven't btw.

The skintones, especially with very light caucasian skin, are not good anymore. I do not know if it is a problem of the camera or Lightroom, but my tests with DPP are also not producing the results I was used to with the 6d and the 5d MK IV. It was like a poor man's Hasselblad file quality. Simply georgeous. That is gone!

I am really unhappy. There seems to be something new going on with the new cameras. I do not know what it is, but most people seem to be obsessed with high iso noise, sharpness and dynamic range. Colour seems to be neglected. I can understand Canon, because people seem to get used to these oversharpened and oversaturated phone pictures.

I honestly do not know what to do, because in the forums, people who discuss the issue are generally criticized for having the wrong workflow.

I sold the R6 and ordered an RP with the "old" sensor. I am thinking of no longer investing in Canon, as long as this issue persists.
