Hard to title this question / thread.
I have had an R3 4 years. Love it. Nothing I cannot do with it. Even if I want to take images that look just like what I see in therm of color, exposure, etc, though often add my own signature to the images in Lightroom.
I need a second body so bought an R5 MK II.Today was really its first outing after setup and test images in my office. Resolution is great. Tack sharp. But a couple of qualities hard to describe. Let me say, EVERYTHING is set identical to the R3. Picture styles, white balances, etc.
First, the whites seem "chalky" to me for lack of grasping a better word! Not a different color temp. Not blown out, just a different quality of white. Second, I would have an incredibly difficult time accurately getting the colors I see in a final image. Greens are more intense. Unsure what else, but I just could not easily make it like a journalistic shot capturing what all eyes see. Its embellished. Now that could be a benefit in concert work, but not landscape or business environments or architecture.
So I am at a loss for where to look. I would like them to produce similar images. I realize will never be "identical" as two different sensors. But...
What do you folks think?
