From my experience with all of the cameras, Canon gives me consistently nice neutral skin tones leaning towards magentas, Nikon also gives very nice natural looking skin slightly leaning towards greens (The sooc is probably my favorite) The Fuji gives a nice soft quality to skin leaning towards pink/magenta. Sony definitely leans towards greens/yellow SOOC. Some tweaks to the profile settings and you can get a better look without any editing but this is what it is

[@nomad0714]

Hey Manny, Finally someone has an objective view on colors. Note I said colors and not “color science” as RGB is RGB. Each brand just does it different and Canon (I agree with you) process their skin tones that are more pleasing to the eyes. But when shooting in RAW (as you stated), you can match or bake in a profile that suites your eyes. Only human eyes can get the right WB. For cameras, they’re guessing and sometimes off. That’s why we just need to know what our cameras and brands execute colors and WB and adjust accordingly. Nice job making this comparison and contrast. Looking forward for your in-depth video if you have time. I would add Panasonic as they also do a good job with their colors. I had the GH5 and then S1H at one time and if it wasn’t their DFD (Death from Defocus), I would have stayed with them

man the Sony looks green

[@richardcollinsphotography1288]

Sony looks terrible. I shot with Sony A73 coming from the Canon 5d Mark 3....I got the Sony so I could also shoot video with better auto focus but photos never looked better than my Canon 5d Mark 3. As soon as the EOS R came out my A73 was replaced. I don't care if you shoot in RAW there are still colors or tints that are baked in. It always took longer to edit sony files than canon files. I now shoot with the R5 I don't think I'd ever go back to Sony no matter how much tech they pack into their cameras.

Yep. Staying with Canon for over 10 years, partly for their colour science. I just love their skin tones, no need for much correction there…

That disgusting green tint on the skin tone on the sony one... eventhough u can edit and make all be look identical, the question is if u have lot of files to edit , it will be wasting your time

That’s not true. Lightroom and photoshop let you save and use a preset on multiple images. No extra time wasted I post.

Nikon and Canon SOOC for me.

[@antontaranenko8824]

Is it only me? But Nikon looks most crispy and 3D popping (What lens was used for the test?)... Colours also are the most amazing, no need edition and post... That is the reason why I went back to Nikon after trying Canon and Sony... Fujifilm is the best for portrait shooting though 😃

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

It's actually an effect similar to 'clarity' or 'texture' in Photoshop raw processing. Canon can sort of do this in camera too but you'll have to build a picture profile from scratch.

[@heather333]

I'm surprised! Nikon had the most realistic skin tone.

[@omarlistills]

I like the canon and Fuji standard colors

[@oliverallen5324]

Fuji looks great

[@masononemine1702]

Nikon wins for me. The thing about Skin tones and canon colors is that, although on more fairer skins, the slightly more reddish/magenta tones looks pleasing, but on people with darker skins, that doesn't necessarily look good. In my honest experience, with older Canon and Nikon crop sensor cameras, the Nikon cameras just always looked alot more natural and pleasing, while Canon bought out the red and magenta a bit too much and also the contrast did hurt a bit. That said tho, i am a brown skinned dude, around brown skinned people.

[@DeekshaAnil007]

Which cameras colour science looks best on darker skin tones? Asking as a brown person

[@BojanBojovic]

@@DeekshaAnil007 They all look good until you start comparing them side by side, then it all depends on what you personally like. I have to see this Canon/Fuji magenta/red skin tones, Nikon is what I personally find nice and Fuji ASTIA which has some great gold quality when it comes to skin tones. But again, this is so subjective, I don't think there is right or wrong objectively.

[@km.productions]

Nice comparison.. I prefer Canon. I like a little bit the magenta rather than green..

[@ailaka1925]

I love the way canon captures warm and brown tones. I understand you can manipulate them in post processing when shooting in raw, but I feel if you’re shooting straight out of the camera, and you’re a person of color or shoot a lot of people of color, the canon can and will give you the most true to color results. Which is everything for me, who is a woman of color, who mainly just shoots her kids, who are darker in complexion.

[@alrevolver6061]

What are the best cameras you recommend me for portrait and weddingphotography

[@KurtisPape]

You are right, there are a lot of determining factors like light colour and the lens itself. No one remembers exactly what the lighting was like once they get home to colour grade the footage, it's hard to tell how warm the evening sun was or how strong the magenta colour cast from the sky was. Unless the colours are way out of wack, I don't think many people would notice unless you done side by side tests. Its even hard to tell in this video because the footage isn't side by side.

[@macbuang07]

This is exactly how I see them, Canon and Fuji too red, Sony too green, Nikon just right. But again, my first camera was Nikon so maybe that has something to do with it. :) Now on Fuji I like only Astia, all others are too red for my perception of reality.

[@ClaudioDesideriFilms]

It's really a matter of taste. Some like more the magentas, others like more the greens. You see this difference of choice even on the big screens. To me, the most important thing is having a camera whose color science gives you plenty of room to fine adjust in the grading phase.

[@marcinmrzyglocki]

I wish YT was not blocking display of captions in shorts; at least there is an option to manually convert them to a standard video, where everything works - ID is the same for both modes.

[@jichaelmorgan3796]

I wonder how these color differences look depending on what phone you're using

[@dannydiazphoto]

The Fujifilm camera should have been the GFX 50S ii 😮‍💨 to see more colors (photons) hit a bigger medium format sensor.

[@shmuelaryehkoltov241]

If I'm not mistaken, if one shoots RAW it depends more on which editing software one uses than which camera, since each software interprets and reads the file differently.
