The models skin doesn't look beautiful in any shot! If you look at 2:26 for example. The green hues in the trees leaves and her sweater don't separate into unique hues, and the sensor is having a hard time discriminating between the different variations of yellow and red in her face making her skin look flat. The camera is only seeing 3 tones; skin tones and the walls are very close, the greens are all about the same, and the lips, railings and hair are about the same. Secondary color reproduction is weak. hard pass on this camera.
