Why??? 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...

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.

Because people must compare, figure which is better, justify a process, analyze things out the wazoo, ...
Yea, they're all different, behave differently, and produce different results.

Me? I just take pictures.

Even with 2 cameras, same make, same model you still have some differences.

I would imagine.

Now you know someone will test that theory......

Or just argue it.

I always process ALL cameras output to my liking. Any differences between cameras, lenses, filters, and such have zero effect on the results of my doing that.

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.

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

Haha... "Corporate color"...
(The way THAT camera works. Each brand is different.)
Tweak to your liking in any case.
My Sony H-1 renders green grass differently than my T1i.
Do I worry about it? NO. That's the way it is.
Another Sony (newer?) may be different. As a newer Canon.

Today's cameras have so many adjustments, you could probably get very similar results no matter what brand camera you use. Presets let you return to multiple results. The slight differences could probably be 'corrected' in PhotoShop or other software.

Agreed! Even though my background is technically oriented, I think photography is more emotional. More emphasis should be directed towards composition not focal lengths, sensor size, yada yada blah blah.

I once read an article about one of the more famous photographers of the world when interviewed, he stated that he knew very little about the technical aspects of his equipment, settings etc. but just made the images look like what he saw in his mind.

Exactly.

My cameras have sensors and pixels, I just use the cameras.
They take pictures.
Same with the editors I use, they edit.....

(Maybe I'm too technical (my background) also.)

Interesting thought. Yes, I do agree, their are slight color differences between OEM lenses.
For instance, I have always loved facial colors brought by Nikon lenses.
I have always liked fall leaves using older AF Minolta lenses.
I really like wildlife images by Canon lenses.
In fact, I still have several Minolta lenses I still use in the fall on my Sony a1 and a9 bodies.
Good luck and keep on shooting until the end.
