jay dougherty Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 I have not been able to bring myself to unload any Canon cameras because they all offer something unique. I thought the 10D would allow me to dump the D60, but no: The D60's pics have a quality that the 10D lacks, yet the 10D handles better and offers unique picture qualities of its own. The same goes for other models I'm too embarrassed to go into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobatkins Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 Can you describe that "quality"? Keep what you use, sell what you don't. I'm getting ready to say goodbye to quite a bit of my EOS stuff that seems to spend most of its life on the shelf. Keeping stuff around "just in case you ever need it" is a bad plan, especially when you almost never do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay dougherty Posted March 28, 2003 Author Share Posted March 28, 2003 >>Can you describe that "quality"?<< Yeah, richer, smoother, more lush. Saturation you can't get from 10D w/o Photoshop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isaac sibson Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 The concensus seems to be that the 10D shots aren't as sharp or saturated out of the camera, although if you set +1 sharpening and a couple of other settings, they're said to be very similar.

jay dougherty Posted March 28, 2003 Author Share Posted March 28, 2003 Isaac, I wish I could confirm what you say. I've tried upping saturation and other parms. Can't get the look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eosdoc Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 <a href=mailto:uce@ftc.gov></a> Could this be a colour space issue? I.e. Images recorded in sRGB space on the D60 but opened as if encoded in a wider gamut space like Adobe RGB will show improved saturation and colour. <P> So Jay, can you describe your workflow? Have you profiled your camera? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_l1 Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 I've heard of Velvia looks, Provia looks. Now I know the D60 looks. There're so many factors here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuppyDigs Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 <P>I don't own an EOS D60 or 10D, but the image samples from Dpreview clearly show the 10D has an edge in sharpness:</P> <P><A HREF="http://www.dpreview.com/articles/canoneos10d/page9.asp">http://www.dpreview.com/articles/canoneos10d/page9.asp</A></P> <P>Of course, maybe they reversed the samples and the D60 is really slightly sharper.</P> Sometimes the light’s all shining on me. Other times I can barely see. - Robert Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_graeber Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 quality is subjective, keep that in mind. i LIKE the adobe rgb of the 10d over the sRGB of the d60. i swear it looks like, evaluating histograms as i try to reproduce shots i did with the d60 last year, that the 10d simply has more tonal detail than the d60, and i attribute that to the 65k tones per color of the 12-bit adobe rgb. now here's the kicker a lot of folks dont understand - accurate color is BORING! it's pretty flat generally. i like that i get better control over my saturation and killer skin tones now - white folks turned beet red on the d60 i ALSO like how photoshop doesnt automatically interpolate my images the second i open them now (it will still do so with 10d adobe rgb images since they are not tagged and if you tell it to assign adobe rgb it will asume the source file is sRGB. always pick 'no color management' then image/mode/assign profile/working space)<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff_graeber Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 easiest way to get that saturated look back - fred miranda's digital velvia action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay_. Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 The more I read about digital (and I own a D60) the more I retreat into the world of film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pc1 Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 i agree Jay,that's why i stick with my canon and contax film camras,and just bought a canon V3,(and i get pretty good pics )aside from not being able to afford a DSLR. i really don't need anymore headaches. cheers ! pc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_harvey1 Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 Hey Jay, know how you feel. How will I project my lovely trannies onscreen, when I don't have any trannies :-( Add in the price and the 1.6 crop and I just can't justify it at the moment.
