Originally posted by Aegon I think Nikon may be more accurate than Canon, but I like the look of Canon files better.
I really love the look of Canon images.
It was very jarring for me to go from a 5DC to a D600. Eventually I returned to the 5DC.
There is nothing "wrong" with NIkon that can't be fixed in post. I don't believe that Canon is "right".
But I know that I love Canon files.
I think part of it may be that Lightroom is goosed for processing Canon files. Another thing I've considered is that Canon smooths the red channel in a way that is very pleasing for skintones. Whatever the cause, I think that Canon images are seasoned with a pinch of salt and a pinch of MSG. Nikon images can be salted in Lightroom (or whatever), but it is hard to get that MSG flavor. I say this knowing that MSG is kinda weird and gross, I think Canon is also doing something strange to get where they are going.
Thats the same for me too.
Between Pentax, Canon, Sony, Panasonic, I prefer the Canon for skin tones.
Something pleasing to skin tones (smooth, a bit orange... , just can't make it out)
Just yesterday, I was trying to search for a LR preset to change my A7 colors to look like my 5D colors for skin tones.
Other than that, I feel that I like Pentax colors for all other stuff.
