There's only a couple of weeks left until the Eagle migration on the Idaho/Washington border. The migration is typically from BC and Alberta where they come to feast on dying spawning Kokanee salmon. Hundreds of birds can be seen at close range and sometimes even a 250mm kit lens can be too much glass
I have often blown (filled) 2 mem cards in one morning.
This was taken last year.
Thanks for looking

IMNSHO: All the above.
MAYBE I configured my camera to be just a little vivid- so my camera's fine; your camera's colors suck.
MAYBE I used a 30yr old Sigma lens, and a little color fringing happened. Is it the $3K camera's problem that a $30 lens made that girl's face at top left a little greenish?
MAYBE I've used Nikons for over 50 years- Canon sucks and Sony is evil. Fuji's kinda OK tho.
MAYBE subjective loyalty is a big issue. How many people here with $10k or $30k worth of equipment will honestly say: "I shoulda started with BrandX way back then; I'd be somebody by now."
MAYBE people are just weird. Taking Corps Event photos, I quickly found that if you make people 3-5% taller (thinner) and the colors a bit more vivid they think you're a better photog. Did you see Tony's test with the 4 pictures? Only 8% of "good" photogs will agree with themselves and pick the same "right" pictures twice.
It was a poll- 1500 self serving opinions. I don't care if my old Marantz is inaccurate- it's the best sound! There've been many articles on Sony's bad color science, and/or accuracy. But. shots side by side, people seem to prefer the effect. Take your NiCanJi camera, apply a Sony LUT in your own home, get rich and famous.
Quote >Oh, that's what DxOMark does.< THAT's what I wanted to see. THIS camera + THIS lens = %Accuracy.
This brand + lens "A" vs that brand + lens "A". You can put an old Nikon Series E 50mm on a modern Nikon and Canon. Same lens, different brands, compare like to like to original.
