[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 518956, member: 9240"] The Nikon vs. Canon color thing has a [I]lot[/I] to do with what the camera profiles allow you to capture in JPEGs and as your starting point in RAW and not, as J-See points out, what you can ultimately achieve. For pros who shoot JPEG this is critical, and just looking at the custom profiles in my brothers camera speaks strongly to that point. There was some discussion about it with one wedding photographer here when they purchased a D600 or D610 a while back, focusing primarily on natural skin tones. Any time you see a side-by-side comparison of similar Nikon and Canon bodies the color dominance Paul mentioned plays some role in the review. As a RAW shooter this aspect doesn't worry me in any significant way as I'm used to doing color manipulation as a part of my post processing - as I've said countless times before, I'm a lazy photographer which has forced me to become a more accomplished person in the digital darkroom. I wish it wasn't the case, and I'm making it a point to fix that (I suspect learning a new system will help), but the fact is that as it stands the color profile differences aren't something I suspect will factor into any decision, in much the same way as the focusing speed of a 1Dx with the 300mm f2.8 when shooting hockey will never be a part of the equation.
