Re: [datacolor_group] Color Comparisons with new Canon 5D Mark lll camera, calibrated and uncalibrated

2012-04-02 by Vampire D

Do you find the settings pretty similar camera to camera of the same model? I used to use a Passport, but I haven't gone about creating a calibration yet for my 5D III. I threw your findings into a LR4 preset, and definitely see a significant de-saturation in the red/greens. Reds are obviously over-saturated just like the 5D II.

I know Passport recommends you shoot their target under each lighting conditions you use. I spoke with someone at DataColor when the SpyderCheckr came out and I was told you can shoot a SpyderCheckr and create a profile that can be used across all lighting conditions with that same body. Is this the case? I didn't like having to shoot the Passport under each lighting scenario I am under, but I found it worked consistently across almost all lighting conditions on the same profile.

Those of you involved with digital photography may find this interesting. It also has some info about the latest Nikons at the end, so its not totally Canon-centric.
