    The color science anyone prefers now days is just a easy post processing fix no matter what camera it comes from. It's just personal preference on what you want... from camera to post processing software. Art is subjective and it's beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

      Its not easy. Hence why wedding photographers will have 2 sets of photos 1 with editing and grading and 1 documentary style. Thats where color science matters. These examples are controlled so it really doesnt matter but bulk editing sony files is a pain in the ass.
      But I like your quotes of "wokeness" rofl...

      Not true. If you color balance your camera then the Raw photos come out pretty even. If you start with a camera profile then yes they are different but you just have a different path to get to your look. In the end Camera color makes no difference unless you are a person that prints JPGs out of camera or rely on camera profiles for your look. Then again, you can use any preset balanced for your camera to achieve the same result.

    Very interesting. I've often felt that people just say Sony's colours are off cause they heard someone else say it and they follow the narrative. Either that or they used the v1 or v2 A7 models which weren't as good. I've always felt colour science is really only a problem if one shoots jpeg and doesn't edit their work.

  • @theizza68
    @theizza68 5 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    Sony user here. The Sony skin tones were a lot greener before the the third generation came out. That's when Sony changed their 'color science'. Ironically, canons skin tones are a little green compared to the new Sony models. And this color science matters only if you shoot jpegs because when you process your photos, you're not gonna end up with the same colors SOOC.
    This bad Sony colors thing will still get brought up even in 5 years from now.

    Hi please correct me if I'm wrong. You are not really comparing colors of Canon vs Sony but rather Adobe's interpretation of those RAW images. In LR you can assign color profiles of Sony or Canon to the RAW files to simulate the real brands colors or maybe even better you should compare jpges out of two brands or use native Sony and Canon RAW converters to really compare the colors.
    Other than that nice video that shows that with any camera we can achieve same results.

    Just so everyone is clear on this, color straight out of the camera when shooting still photos is more important if you are just shooting JPG files. When shooting raw, you fine-tune the color with the raw convertor. Speaking of that, I shoot Sony and use Capture One for my raw processing. The Capture One people have worked extensively with Sony to get great processing results.

  • @ezrakoper

    I think you totally miss the point. BTW I shoot in the past with Canon. Later with olympus and now with Sony..
    1. The changes in RAW are meaningless and profiles usually do nothing to raw. Only JPG.
    Many people shoot in JPG and there the color science of every brand makes a big difference. Many people just want to click and get a JPG. Your test should be with jpg with default changes instead.
    2. For myself and other I asked on line I have a big problem with sony white balance when using FLASH as the main source of light (not just fill flash). The camera tend to produce in RAW and JPG very strange colors usually shifted dramatically towords the orange. I try some setup in the camera to prefer white as I was recommended to do but with no real success.
    The white balance in sony A7III is so bad that usually I play manually with the white balance in the sceen I plan to shot and adjust it to stay there as long I am using FLASH.
    I don't remember ever having such issues with the Olympus or Canon.
    This is the part where I hate my sony A7III not to mention the missing fully articulating LCD. However for portrait shot with the eye focus it is ggggrrrreeeeaaattttt!!!!!!!!!

I run a photo group on Meetup and you would be shocked at how many people don’t even have RAW converter software of any type. Not everyone is looking for pro results but they do want nice skin tones. With that in mind what comes directly out of the camera is important to those people.

      Joe Alfano Photography i think many are actually shooting JPEG. I myself also tend to shoot 90% jpeg except for special shooting of one time moments, just to be save. But even then I never needed the RAW files. I try to get my shots right in the first place and usually never need to make so many corrections to it that a RAW file would be needed. In the end I often feel like I am wasting disk space. Don’t get me wrong I absolutely know of the benefits of RAW. But it’s just that all the time i used it (mostly shooting in Jpeg + RAW pairs) i was absolutely satisfied with the jpeg. Last time I was even pretty surprised how much information was left in the jpeg when I tried to bring back detail from highlights. There are occasions where I would still always use Raw, like landscape photography. But for most other things, after years of shooting in Raw, I started to omit that and use Jpeg most of the time

    • @joealfanophotography9568
      @joealfanophotography9568 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Alexander Winkler I agree. When digital cameras first came out RAW was more important. The processors in these first cameras were basic compared to today’s standards. You would get much better results processing the images off camera with software. With the advances in camera processors and their ability to produce outstanding JPEGs the need to use RAW converters has lessened dramatically. Sure RAW still has advantages but for most end use JPEGs are just fine.

    This is odd, I use both cameras as well and my findings are the opposite- canon had more pink tint whereas the Sony is greener. The main issue is the luminance in combination with color of skin tones, the Sony looks more "plasticky", digital. I prefer the 5D MKIV color science.

    Must be a lot of Sony shooters here in the comments. It should be clear just from these examples that they aren’t the same and that a simple white balance tweak/tint isn’t enough. Look at the saturation and tonality differences in the skin tone transitions. It’s not as bad as the older Sonys, or the Panasonics, but it’s still visible.

  • @Seitenwerk
    @Seitenwerk 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I think it’s more than just a different color tone you can easily fix. Shooting Portraits side by side often reveals unwanted color tones especially in dark areas like shadows on the skin. Sony tends to produce green tones and others on the skin. You may not see it without comparing it to a canon image, but if you do the differences are often pretty obvious. The problem is you can’t just fix those afterwards without heavily manual work on each area. Something no one usually wants to do

Sure you can edit them to the liking, but Canon really makes you work less which is a big deal if you shoot a lot in a session. If most of the photos are gonna be graded stylistic, then the color out of camera is not that big of a deal.

    Fun comparison. I think both had pros and cons. I shoot Canon and am very happy with it. I will say I think the thought of a universal "Canon color" is a bit off. I have noticed a bit of a difference in color between my Canon bodies. For example, the 5DIII was a bit warmer and had seemed to accentuate red tones. The 5DIV I have found favors blue/greens as you observe in your video. I enjoyed both, and found the 5DIV colors are typically better for skin tones, especially when using a flash.

    Also try to take portrait shots with warm incandescent lamps on the street and indoors on both cameras, then you will understand that SONY RAW cannot be processed ((. Skinton turns out to be strange. While Canon gets the colors right in one click.

  • @johnforrestal
    @johnforrestal 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    1) The comparison of the girl against the wall - cameras were at different shutter speeds. Camera sensors will react differently to color sensitivity at different levels of exposure. Under/overexposing, technically, will cause a camera to represent color slightly different. One camera was at 1/480 of a second, the other was at 1/320. Hard to make a color comparison if your settings aren't the same across the board.
    2) The photo before that - even though you said they look the same, they didn't. The left was clearly bluish. What was the white balance setting for any of these photos? Manually set or automatic?
    3) What would have better displayed accurate skintone representation across cameras would have been a look at histograms and vectorscopes and using power windows/masks to isolate skin on their face.

    @simeonkolev1231 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Quick tip :) you can create custom camera profiles with X-rite Color Passport and than the colors science will match perfectly between the Canon and Sony. You have to use one and the same lens and the same light source (I use a flash).
    Second thing - lenses can produce different colors and the difference in WB can be due to the different lenses.
    PS you should try the A7rII or rIII ;) it is so much better for shooting in good light. Not because the pixel count but because of the colors. There are more colors :). I think that you will like it, I almost never use all of the 42m pixels but I really like the colors that I get out of it. And the option for a heavy crop is awesome sometimes.

  • @EnormousSmartass
    @EnormousSmartass 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    "Colour science" in RAW really isn't a thing. There's no actual "colour science" in these RAW files. It comes down to the RAW engine you're using to display or rather *interpret* these files. E. g. Sony files look drastically different between LR and C1, much better and realistic in C1 imho. That at least was the case until LR6, can't really comment on newer versions.

    • @juliatrotti
      @juliatrotti  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have the raw + jpg files sooc, looked at them on multiple programs on my computer and everything I mentioned in this video still applies! I needed to use the raws to edit though :)

    • @EnormousSmartass
      @EnormousSmartass 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@juliatrotti Of course it still applies. It's just kinda important to note that "colour science" does not exist as what people think it is, at least as long as they shoot RAW. The "colour science" is done by differently interpreting the "1s and 0s" in the RAW files with a program.

    • @hautehussey
      @hautehussey 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I definitely agree about the differences between raw converters. That’s left out of videos like these, and often means these videos are comparing less than ideal scenarios for one or both of the brands.

    • @hautehussey
      @hautehussey 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      EnormousSmartass color science still involves the manufacturers decisions and various hardware as well. But that’s a moot point if the raw converters are programmed differently as well.

  • @akhyarrayhka4048
    @akhyarrayhka4048 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    i dont know why, but when comparing a9 vs eos RP, although a9 is way more better in overall details, with same setting Canon RP looks better.
    to fix Canon set the WB to Amber and Magenta a bit.

  • @JustinHeckman
    @JustinHeckman 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    First want to say love your videos! Great information! but don't hate me because Im going nitpick a little and curious on your thoughts : ) The second example used different shutter-speeds and like the 1st one, the 3rd comparison is allowing more light to hit the models face with the hair pulled back on the Sony image. Seems like the Sony a7 iii had more light in the three images than the canon. Could that be causing some of the minor differences being seen?

    • @Fr3dr1k
      @Fr3dr1k 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @juliatrotti
      @juliatrotti  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you! Since I have the rest of the photos to look at as well, I picked photos to show the overall colour cast I could see in the rest of the photos shot in the same location. So while the lighting might be a little bit different I made sure to pick photos that I could see the same colour cast in throughout regardless of the lighting. So for example in the 3rd example, I had some photos where her hair was out of her face like the Sony shot (it was out of focus so I didn't include it) but it had the same colour cast as the one shown in the video with her hair causing more of a shadow. Hope that makes sense!

    My Canon EOS 5 (A2/A2e) has the best skin tone...or is that cheating?
    This is incredibly subjective, just as film is. However, if I was a portrait/fashion/wedding photographer I would have moved over to Sony by now.
    Thank you, a great video as always.

    • @danpodbierezki
      @danpodbierezki 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Haha, not cheating at all! My favourite film stock is AGFA 200 which you'll rarely ever hear anyone say that. It ain't the sharpest or accurate with colours but the way it renders greens in landscape/travel shots and purples during sunsets is simply a look I love. It's why our personal family and travel albums are all filled with photos shot on agfa. Still always shot on a 35mm focal length, we can't shake that one no matter the camera. 😄

    • @markharris5771
      @markharris5771 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Dan Podbierezki I used to like the Fuji Pro 160ns, it had a strong pink/magenta tint, a pure portrait film but I loved it for 120 landscapes. Alas it’s been withdrawn, but considering Acros is coming back ns might make a return.
      AGFA 200 is the backbone of many a family album, it was wonderfully of the time. I’m convinced that when I remember the 70s and 80s my brain shot the memories with AGFA.

  • @piyushkashyap2322
    @piyushkashyap2322 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    m a Canon user and I feel that canon slightly underexposes each photo because of some calibration of its light meter or so. But I don't mind the greener tint (i got to know after seeing in this video side by side with sony). The pinkish tint of sony looks good but it will definitely be limited to just portraits since the CANON looks more true to life & that is what u need when shooting RAWs✌️
