I often see and read posts about the discrepancies of results between different camera makes with different lenses on each and the resultant differences of the images. Why wouldn't there be differences? If one wants to get the same results in photographs from two cameras, why not use the same make and model camera with a lens made specifically for that camera brand? My thoughts are that for consistency in IQ, color, and resolution Use the same brand of cameras with the same brand of lens on each. We all apparently agree that one camera is going to have a slightly different color and quality than another make or even model. That's why we each have our preferred brand and model of camera. We also all have different preferences in post processing (if used) to adjust our final version of our photos. Just my thoughts and musings.

Well said! And I woul add..."we each have our preferred camera settings regarding WB...IQ...saturation...contrast, etc"

Having taken a bit past two million pictures I honestly believe the variables you will introduce by: Not using a tripod, not having a good sun shade (the ones I use cost $450), and by not using a cable release will more than out weigh any difference you are going to gain by what ever brand you are using - as Ansel said "A camera is a box with a hole in it"

Maybe we as humans are not content with our lot in life? We much challenge.
And for others…they just need something to complain about.

I use two Nikon D810's and they each respond to slightly deferentially, not enough to get upset about but noticable.

Look below and then tell me how many different brands of "corporate color" youve found there:

While this goes against what all of the resident fanboys would like you to believe, there really is no difference if you develop your images from raw.

There may be physical and functional differences between cameras, and sensor size matters, but once you reach about 24MP, resolution does not really matter. It just costs more.

When I hear about "Canon color" or "Nikon color" I feel really dismissive of those who concern themselves with stuff like that. Ive witnessed sales staff talking that trash to customers who I know damnt well will use AWB for everything, forever, no exceptions.

The only differences driving me nuts is all those batteries !! I guesstimate I use about ten different batteries.

I see you were in Albany NY!

I think too much is made about that. Even with identical cameras, lenses, exposure, settings, a pixel peeper will probably find some difference in the images, but not significant enough to worry about, and probably caused by differences in the calibrations of the two cameras. I always shoot RAW, so I can pretty much tweak anything related to exposure, WB, and effects - I just concern myself about "getting it in the ballpark". The JPG outputs of the various cameras will produce varying results depending on applied settings and the manufacturers' internal DSP handling to produce JPG outputs. ALL images are approximations of our reality, what we see with our eyes, and in many cases there are variations in color perception or color blindness - our eyes are the ultimate cameras and lenses (let's all too, not forget about variations in monitors and calibrated monitors). There are many considerations here besides the capturing equipment too.

On the contrary, the differences would be the same. Whoever told you a camera is just a box with a hole in it is just jerking your chain, but maybe you now know that by experience.

Well by definition the camera can be just a box with a hole but most are much more than that.

At some point in my childhood I remember asking my mother why there were black people, brown people, Asian people. My mother, who was a beautifully simple person made sense of it all in one short phrase that I have always remembered, “It’s what makes the world go ‘round.” Later in life, when I thought about her statement, it struck me that that was a very simple way of telling me that the world would be a very uninteresting place if everything were the same. I think that is true about most things in general.

Who told him that idea was just jerking his chain, being a well hyped jerker of chains. But, he said he has made a zillion pix so by now experience shouldve cleared that up.

Can't overdo the pursuit of that corporate color achieved by a hole in a box.

Just like us old folk, everything depends.
My D3300 has the same sensor as my D7100 did. They took the same picture.
Some Canon sensors are slightly bigger. Pictures come out slightly different.
Nikons are shorter lens-to-sensor. Different perspective.
My vintage 70-210 pumper is way longer than my newish one- straighter light path.
My loverly D80 has a differnt sensor- results are more "Portra" like- same lens.

AND people.
Some need to confirm theirs is better than yours.
Some worry more than it might not be.
Some are concerned they could have waited.
Some gripe that they did.
