High ends Canon vs. Nikon - an observation
I do not own both cameras. However, looking through lots of samples
available in the web, I seems to notice that photos (mostly the ones that I observed were portraits) taken using Canon high end DSLR (1D, 1Ds,5D,10D, etc.) appear to have light or bland colors. In contrast, Nikon high end DSLR (D1, D2, D3, D200, D300, etc) appears to produce brighter, contrasting and rich colors. Both, however, have extremely sharp images. Is this general observation correct, or does it just depend on the photographer, the lens, lighting and the colors on the subject? Thanks for comments |

Thanks for comments The contrast and saturation are fully under the control of the photographer for either camera. It is posible that the defult is different between them, but you don't need to use the default setting. And with raw you can set both the contrast and saturation after the photos have been taken.

Thanks for comments May be more to do with Compression for the net Why would compression artifacts affect one brand more than the other? |

Because different brands of cameras use different logic for the compression, and apply different parameters to the compression process. |

Because different brands of cameras use different logic for the compression, and apply different parameters to the compression process. He said "compression for the net" which to me does not imply on-camera processing. Images above even 1 megapixel are quite rare on the 'net. Yep What I was trying to say is Un less you can inspect the originals There is no way of telling the fault Banding being more a problem of low Pixel count. IE the colours or lightness not spread evenly over the range. -- Trev You can always tell a Yorkshire man, But you can't tell him much. |

Contrast, color saturation, and lightness are all highly adjustable and up to the photographers. They are also adustable by image editing programs like Photoshop. -- Ray Fischer |
