Thanks

I think Canon's colors favor the warm side, whereas as Nikon favors the cooler colors. This is sort of like Kodak (warmer) vs. Fuji (cooler) colors.

I used both Canon (A-1, AE-1) and Nikon (F100, F5) camera film bodies, but I always shot with Kodak film. When I got my first digital camera in the Nikon D800E, I was somewhat disappointed in the colors and commented on it over at dpreview.com. I felt the colors overall were somewhat dull. Someone said the sensor in the D800 was the cause, so... Anyway thank god for Photoshop. The colors from the D850 seem much better this time around.

It is more the out-of-the-box tonal curve that I prefer rather than the color temperature. Tonal curve is done at conversion from RAW, so is bit of a pain to match.

To be clear - what I mean when I say warmer vs. cooler (in speaking of color temperature) is that Canon's sensors tends to bias towards warmer colors (reds, yellows, orange) whereas Nikon seems to bias towards the cooler colors (blues, greens) and thus the debate over Canon vs. Nikon's "colors" as seen around the net.

Even in shooting in RAW some have noted a difference; but like everything it also depends on scene and lighting.

Pics look great, congrats on the new camera

Yes, I know what you meant, I said I wasn't referring to temperature - temperature can be easily corrected. I am talking more the gray scale curve . The Nikon conversions appear to have more "depth" - more details in the shadows. - qualitatively a richer feel.

Thanks. There's still much to learn about it.

My new case arrived today, Thermaltake C36, I like it

I love those cases with those big 200mm front fans. Its why I love my Cooler Master H500M

Me too, I almost went with your case, but to much glass for me

Hi,
That's not hardware images though

10900k picked up snagged it off micro center website 5:am this morning
Just need a z490 apex XII in 30 days 400.00 or a formula XII 500.00 in a week decisions ....

Returned my spare x299 mark 2 finally, micro center now tests warranty items guess they wised up to the in-store warranty being used more as upgrade insurance

Guess I'm lucky when the 9940x and 1200P2 psu went out at the same time it really did hurt the mark 2 also
B1 dimm kept dropping off pretty much why I got the used apex but that knocked off 260.us off the 529.00 10900k so after tax I paid only 313.00
Attachment 280112

What made you want to get a 10900K?

How's that? Two side glass panels, a top, and an optional front is minimalistic

Anyway from where it sits I don't get to see them, plus there's no worry about glass breakage....
