I have no idea how anyone puts up with Nikon

Chimp Paradox · 12 Jan 2015 at 19:29

I am going through some old photos taken with my D5200 before I bought Canons 5dmk3. And they take so much work to get right! Odd white balance in particular that takes so much changing. The only thing I ever do on the canon is reduce vibrancy a little as the colours have so much punch. But honestly, if I shot Nikon Id live at my computer.

This is not intended to wind anyone up, I am just staggered how anyone shoots successfully with it, and of course many do! Including one of my all time faves Steve McCurry!

Sound like user error to me, or a troll.

surely you guys are aware of the poor greens and yellow tint that comes out of nikons and the reddish skin tones?

So you couldn't use a D5200 and bought a 5D3?....

Please share some of these useless shots that have these poor greens and yellows and other stuff.

Or alternatively go over to GD troll there instead.

Do you also have hairy palms?

Indeed.

My question would be, Why are you comparing a £300 camera with a £2000 camera!

Jase · 13 Jan 2015 at 09:13

Remember guys it's the camera that takes bad photographs not the photographer.

Try telling that to my Mrs, who states a D4S is never justifiable

aps-c sensor or not, it just cannot produce correct greens (among other things) without a lot of post production work. WB is always off

My point also.

That and I use a d5300 and have no issues with it.

Is your monitor calibrated?

Lots of post production? It takes seconds to alter white balance :confused:

snips86x · 13 Jan 2015 at 10:09

Canon's are known for their WB being a little iffy but this for sure sounds like user error. Unless you've mishandled the camera, damaged it in some way or as above you've not calibrated your monitor, there's no way it could be that bad.

Would love to see some examples with EXIF attached!
