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. http://cdtobie.wordpress.com/2012/04/02/color-calibration-canon-5d-mark-lll/ C.

>>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. Yes, much like the Mark ll, as my last article comparing the Mark ll and Mark lll color concluded. Certainly my settings for the Mark lll would be better than no adjustments, but I can't guarantee they would be as accurate as your own. >>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. Yes, that's my info, no matter who repeated it to you. I find that any reasonable light source works with the same target shot; it would only be very unusual, problematic light sources that might justify a custom profile. C. D.
