True, though from experience I think it's harder than you imply. That said, does anyone who buys a camera based on specs really go through the effort of manipulating all of their photos to look like the other camera who's output they prefer? I think not.
Assuming no lens lock and you actually like the Canon output, based on specs would you (not "you" personally, but general "you") buy a D800 over say the 5d mk III and plan to manipulate every one to look like the Canon? Does anyone really do that? Again, I think not.
Lot's of people say Fuji skintones are awesome, yet I see very few Nikon or Canon images manipulated to match. That would seem a no-brainer, and yet people rarely do.
The point I guess being, even if you can with effort manipulate every photo to match some other camera that you really like, if the average image from the camera you are going to buy doesn't float your boat it would seem silly to buy it. The fact that that isn't the primary consideration for most buyers (or reviewers) seems a little odd to me....Show more →
Most raw converters, through profiling, make files from most cameras look relatively similar. There may be subtle differences, but it usually just comes down to profiling. I don't manipulate my images to look like other cameras, but I do manipulate my images to my own specific look or "film," and it isn't all that difficult to switch between cameras, for me. The X-Pro1, being so different in design, could possibly make things more difficult for me, but I haven't played around with the raws enough to know.
