Dx0 colour sensitivity

[tom_barrance]

<p>I'm thinking of replacing my Nikon D300 (great camera but heavy) with a Canon 550d/T2i as I want to shoot video using my old manual focus Olympus lenses. I don't need the D300's fast handling for the kind of work I do. <br>

Comparing the cameras on DX0mark, performance seems pretty similar despite the 550d's 18MP sensor. The only area where the D300 is way ahead is colour sensitivity. Am I likely to notice the difference in the real world or is it just theoretical? </p>

<p>What are your subjects? I doubt it'll matter to you for video, but you subjects may demand unusual color accuracy.</p>

<p>Remember, those DxO measurements are of unprocessed RAW files. The end result of almost any camera is almost always better than the untouched RAW file, the Canon 7D being a prime example. I actually use DxO's Optics Pro and love it, but those RAW file comparisons need to be taken with a grain of salt.</p>
