yeah we both shot all RAW....
the guy shoots on a 24-70 2.8 L and a 70-200 2.8 IS L mainly. I think he has a 100mm macro that I'm not familiar with, and a really fast fifty. I love his lenses....
We were shooting in a really cool Catholic church. You know that orange colorbalance you get in there sometimes? Well, I loaded his shots up and *expletive here*!!! It looked like a bunch of orange squares in the photoshop browser/bridge. It took hours and hours to get all of that orange out, and I was left with some shadow noise, not too bad. Then, when I needed to adjust levels to get the exposures even, I had more noise.
its SO easy to manual whitebalance on my cams that I may have one or two shots miscolored when I change lighting, but 99% of my shots are good WB. To be honest, I dont know how to quickly change WB on canon, because I always leave canons on AWB when I shoot them
so i think the only problems I have with the xti (speaking of files only as i dont shoot with it) is the color and maybe the dynamic range. but when i go in to fix that stuff, as can be expected on any camera, i have noise. but the shots from canon AWB are soooo orange (except for in daylight) that it was making me grumpy while i worked.
The shots from the 5D were great. Much more dynamic range and less noise. The color balance was very similar to the xti, though. I believe both cameras use the digic2 processor.
If I were to compare the 5D and the K10D I would say that I am suprised at how well the K10D compares to the 5D considering the awesome reputation the 5D has. And likewise, I was suprised at the noise that I did see in the 5D when I did see it. I know the 5D has been a great camera, but this is the digital age, and that camera is like 5 years old eh?
Canon makes some REALLY awesome cameras when you get up to the 5K dollar amount. I would flip (and maybe cry for joy) if someone gave me a 1DsMK3/wide prime......what a superb setup that would be
...then I would sell the combo and buy a freakin car or put a down payment on a house.
I really can't believe how much quality Pentax can deliver at a thousand bucks. Pentax ergonomics have kept me glued to the cameras in more ways than one: during shooting, I dont need to pull the camera from my eye....and I can twiddle all of the controls. And, I'm not switching brands because the cam is so FREAKIN COMFY!!!
