I am concerned with deviation of my actual camera, and that's where I really would love a calibration/profile that is lighting independent and will color correct my camera to what it should be shooting regardless of the lighting and image being shot. For example, if it tends to shoot the red channel higher or something along those lines. I know it does to some degree, but I just can't make DNG profiles 1-15 times I shoot.

The SpyderCube is then used to supply lighting info such as color temperature, tint, exposure and blacks from the particular scene lighting to supplement the color data from the camera calibration. I've been having great results with this system, and will be interested to hear from others as they are able to try it.
