Here's a comparison of a couple of shots from the Olympics, one taken with a
Canon and the other with a D3:

The D3 shot is underexposed and has incorrect white balance! How can that
be?

How do you know one is taken with a Canon and the other a Nikon. Unless
I overlooked it, the type of equipment used is not mentioned.

This is a daily column, and if you go to the previous day's column he

"I would like to show two frames - one taken on a Canon camera -
EOS1Dn MKIII with a 400mm f2.8 lens, the other on a Nikon D3 with a
400mm, also set at f2.8.
Can you notice any difference in sharpness, definition, tonal range
etc.?"

The EXIF data is there on both photos.

Simple, you look for the action shots that are in focus and you know a
Nikon
took it.


looks you are wrong, again.

The best shot is from the Canon and you know it, fat ass.

Who knows, a bunch of things are different, both manual exposure, the
Canon has blown the red a bit which is fine in this case, the Nikon
fills the histogram perfect. I never heard general complaints about
Nikon WB vs Canon WB but yeah, the Nikon is off in this case with yellow
skin tone. I'd expect a pro to use a custom WB for a staged event like
this, especially when emailing jpegs immediately.

1D Mark III 10MP 1.3x crop 400mm f/2.8 1/1579 sec ISO 800
sRGB


D3 12MP 1.0x crop 550mm f/4 1/1250 sec ISO 1600
PS thinks it's Adobe RGB, exif says 'uncalibrated -1' ?


What the heck is the 550mm f/4 lens? I can't imagine how to get that.

No, Tony Cooper *didn't* write that. I posted a link to the
photographer's blog where *he* wrote that and copy/pasted what he
wrote. That's what quotation marks indicate. If you want to argue
with the photographer, then challenge what he wrote.

Here's my post:

Photographer's choice?

I don't see any underexposure. The D3 shot looks a little green on my CRT,
but OK on the laptop.

When I first looked, before checking which was which and knowing the
photographer's bias, I thought the D3 shot was his carefully selected
Canon pic, just because of the hideous noise in the top half of the
actual Canon shot.

I would have thought a Canon shooter with the resources of Murdoch's
empire behind him could have found a better Canon picture.
