I posted on the Nikon forum asking this same question, now I would like this forum's opinion!
I shot a Nikon D7000 for two years and was not entirely pleased with the camera. I had no problems with the megapixel count, nor noise, nor dynamic range. I've never shot a camera - Nikon, Canon, Sony, whatever, where those things bothered me.
What did bother me was the color reproduction. Color was bad and it causes me frustration all these years later.
In the Nikon forum, the comments were, "color doesn't matter if you're shooting RAW," which I guess is completely true. You can manipulate colors to your liking.
However, I feel like Canon files respond better in RAW processors and they often have a better starting point. Nikon is too... accurate and boring. Canon is often way off but very pleasing. Nice color casts and pink tones in the skin.
I've also shot the 6D and loved the colors off of it. Disappointed with the focusing system, but otherwise I loved it. (Also I think it had better low light performance than the equivalent Nikon, opinions on this would be appreciated).
I've been recently watching videos on the 5DsR. Jared Polin's sample images were GORGEOUS. Some of the best photos he's taken. Jeremy Smith noted the 5DsR's RAW files started off more contrasty with better color.
Now, the Nikon D750 and D810 have better color response and accuracy so I've heard.
The Nikon D500 also exhibits pretty good color. But I still really like the Canon look better than any brand. And I'm not skilled enough at post-processing to match it.
Anyone here switched to Canon just for the "look" and color? Did you find what you were looking for?
Would it be a mistake to switch to Canon solely for the colors?
Thanks!...Show more →
Some years back I bought two Nikon D7000 bodies and some Nikon lenses & flashes to explore a possible switch from Canon. It didn't work out! The main problem was the color. It was generally good enough, but I often felt that it was not AS GOOD as what I had been getting from Canon. So I sold all of my Nikon gear and kept everything Canon. Ergonomics was the other reason.
Those color differences are real and they don't disappear once you learn the "ideal workflow".
