6D vs 5DC colors

Hi,
I just took photos of my cat with both 6d and 5dc,
I have noticed that the colors at the 5dc look so much better, its like its edited but its not.
Heres a sample-

1857 x 633

I only see a white balance difference really. What kind of lights are you shooting under?

Also don't assume that because you think you have the same picture style settings, etc that they are really identical between the 2 cameras, they simply won't be. Canon completely overhauled the shooting parameters and underlying structure when they did the picture styles as we now know them.

Hey i have a 5dc as well and i'm looking to upgrade to the 6d.

Do you think overall it would be worth it for the image quality upgrade ?

Coming from someone who has both, What do you think ?

6D's high iso ability is considerably better. center point is also able to attach in ridiculously low light..... like moonlit situations. Also a bunch of smaller features that make it a lot more worthwhile.

if you have time to sell stuff from a bundle, you can get the 6D for real cheap ($1089):

Yeah i understand its alot better in low light and focusing abilities

I'm just saying for portraits, is imagine quality alone worth the upgrade ?

if you're ONLY doing posed portraits, then no. ISO 100-1600 are very similar. You buy it for the features like auto iso, video, wifi, MFA, super center point, battery life, easy of use, high megapixels, live view, ect.

it's like comparing a really old car vs a new one. Old car lacks power steering, AC, poor door locks, power windows...... gets the job done, but annoying as heck.

Yeah i know i eventually want to upgrade. I'm Impressed with all the imagies ive seen out of the 6D. I know the high iso and all the other stuff would come in handy on occasion. I mostly do Portraits in low iso. but do like to get out and do night shots and long exposures on tripods.

What lights do you have? By chance fluorescents? If yes, keep in mind that light color of that varies significantly within the mains' cycle (100Hz or 120Hz).

I dont have 5DC but I had 5D2...

I had 5d2 then I upgrade to 6D, IQ is not much difference, I do think 5D2 IQ is little better, but you can not tell much difference.
-Color: 6D is more warmer, 5D2 is cooler
-Exposure: 6D is little darker.
-AF 6D is better.
-low light ISO 6D is better, however 100-800 ISO, both are the same.

I sold my 5D2 for $1350USD, and got the 6d bundle, after selling everything, 6D body was $1150 USD.

I'm happy with 6D for 2 reasons, smaller and lighter, and AF better than 5D2, specially if you are using f/1.2 lens.

Hi,
Same shutter speed, apreture, lens, iso, picture style, wb shift
why does it happen?

It could be the result of a slight difference in the algorithm that converts the sensor data into an image that can be displayed on your computer screen. I highly doubt that the 'default' output of every Canon digital camera ever made will look exactly the same.

There is no industry standard for how electronic sensor data is processed. You'll have to tweak the image to get them to be identical.

All the image parameters like color, white balance, sharpness, tint, etc. are variable and you can adjust them at will.... (Much like you can adjust the volume and tone on a radio).

5D classic is a 12 bit camera. 6D and 5DII are 14 bit. For more info on why this makes a difference, visit this explanation or this one.

If not already doing so, your images likely would look better if you'd set a Custom White Balance. Even so, some careful post-processing might be needed to optimize them. There's tons more data captured by the 6D, than the 5DC... So the 6D images will hold up much better to post-processing.

If shooting JPEGs, the Picture Style you have set will influence the appearance of your images. It also will have an effect if you convert RAW files using Canon Digital Photo Pro (DPP) software. Third party RAW converters (i.e. Adobe RAW in Photoshop, Elements or Lightroom, Aperture, etc., etc.) ignore the camera settings and RAW files often look lower contrast and saturation until some adjustments are done.

If your computer monitor isn't graphics quality and calibrated, you can go round and round trying to adjust images!

you need to shoot raw to see a fair comparison

Good Information, Thanks!

The 6D has a slight advantage of dynamics and resolution compared to the 5Dc. I noticed that the newer generation Canons tend to be more fussy with what you expose for. I would like to believe that it's more accurate.

Every time I upgrade to a higher resolution camera, I will always have the initial impression of "softness" to the pics but it is not. It's just much more refined with much more detail.

The 5D and 10D have such beautiful colors and tones SOOC, they're just so nice!

With modern cameras they require a bit more tweaking in post, but hey that's fun also!
