Goes to show, that digital cameras, like film we put into SLRs of old, vary in the faithfulness of color reproduction!

Going waaaaaaaaaaaay back to the 10D, the review by (burns brain trying to recall, it was Popular Photography) said it was the most accurate color rendition of any camera that had ever been tested, .. period.
This includes any film ever.

Up until the 10D, this had been a quest for Digital, it was something Pop Photography had always tested, and people thought they wanted.

The result, was many people on forums like this one pissing and moaning about "washed out " color, etc.

We had grown used to Velvia and such, and accurate real life color, does not a good photo make.

The next Model in the line was the 20D, complete with the introduction of "Picture Styles" and the quest for accuracy was over.

Don't anyone kid yourself, if your looking to make photographic art, then color accuracy is not what you want. Photography is (most often) about making life look better than real.

So those of you that poo poo picture styes or any other kind of "look" being applied to a digital images, grow up. It's what every brand/make of film always did, and what your camera, or post process does anyways.

Also people forget that when you took film in Kodak processed it as well. Colour and exposure. Long ago my buddy took a shot of a dock and the still lake and it was underexposed but had a unique look to it. Not sure if it was the exposure or development. Reds were pinkish, etc. We borrowed the neg, took it in and we got a print back that looked no where near to what we wanted. We had to back with his print to show them what we wanted.

Heh! I remember when the 10D came out!

I was active in an "Internet News" photography discussion group back then, and all the "serious" photographers shot film and looked down their noses at the new digital stuff...

But then the 10D came out and it pretty much revolutionized things, at least amongst the 35mm film shooters! People began to step up and admit that shots from the 10D could actually "match" their 35mm shots, it was really fun to hear!

Yep, 10D was amazing. It was my first DSLR, and I loved it.

As a historical note it might be of interest to recall that Picture Styles were introduced in 2005, largely because Nikon jpgs were more saturated and contrastier than Canon jpgs up to then and there was a feeling that Canon was losing the market sector that wanted only SOOC jpgs, without post-processing. Standard P.S. was supposed to supply that "jazzier" processing (and I remember Canon old-timers bemoaning the "circus colors"). Neutral P.S. was said to retain the traditional Canon look.

This ^^^^ is what accurate color got Canon!

And sorry, i think it was the 30D or "20Dn" that introduced Picture Styles, but since I consider them the same camera I often forget that the 30D pioneered anything. In truth, all that Picture Styles was, was Canon presets and new naming for the "Parameters" settings that the 20D already had..
