Rian the bigger and more important question is why a Vneck shirt and tattoo?

I have a tattoo?

Your website is really well done - nice graphics - looks professional - well set out and narration and the test is well done. I really think the BIG distraction for me is your Vneck shirt--- seriously - other than that minor - but major thing (for me) I am impressed.

EDIT- the video was a good example of what can be done with a little lighting - but I think if you would have white balanced the camera you could get good results with the 5D2- but good lighting trumps all.

Your shirt and your website are fantastic...

If you've found a job where you can wear what the F*#& you want and not get forced into conforming to business casual/Gap wear the rest of your life... My god go with it man....

CJ -- good point about not "conforming" --- I just found it a bit distracting --

Cool, just noticed you posted the raw files on your site... very cool....

Yeah, I think we're both right...

Good video. Very humbling when you look at the comparative shots.

I want my 8 minutes back!

Kidding, just kidding.

Anyway, I like the video, but definitely thought that the reviewers should have done the PP before presenting their conclusion. Car and Driver would get blasted off the newsstand if they posted a similar comparison. Imagine a comparison between the Vette and a V-6 Camero and the Vette was tested in snow and the Camero on dry roads. C&D tells readers to adjust for the Vette's performance.

I think there's a lot of people who might not know about AWB, PP, or RAW. Of course those folks would probably be best served by buying lighting

good analogy!

Thanks, even I can make a good point once in a while

I can't tell much, but your PP looks good.
