When everyone talks about Nikon tolerance and Nikon yellow, do they refer to RAW or J?

SLR is a prerequisite

1. Tolerance refers to the situation under RAW, because no matter which company it is, JPG is lossy compression, and there is no tolerance at all, so it will only be discussed under RAW. Nikon's latitude refers to the amount of information retained in highlight or dark areas. It can usually save about half a stop of exposure compared to the same level as Canon. In RAW, the details of the highlight "disappear" can be slightly more than Canon's. Of course, this does not mean that all models are like this, but many models are slightly better (such as the D800 series). Usually this is not a necessary advantage for photographers, unless the photographer often cannot control the exposure and can only rely on post-processing to save it (can this still be called a photographer?).

2. Nikon Yellow refers to the effect of JPG direct output, and it is often the direct output under automatic mode (the effect is not obvious under RAW because there is no setting added), so not everyone agrees with Nikon Yellow. Although Nikon produces films It has its own characteristics, but as long as the manual settings such as exposure and white balance are correct, it will not be too different from Canon, and the same is true for Canon.

The most obvious color difference between Nikon and Canon was in the Nikon CCD era. At that time, most of Nikon's models used CCD sensors, while Canon has always used its own CMOS sensors. The differentiating characteristics between CCD and CMOS are also It was reflected in the films produced by the two companies, and the difference in color and sharpness has been deeply rooted in people's hearts since then. However, until Nikon changed a large number of CMOS sensors, it was difficult to find obvious traces of the classic differences between the two in the films produced by the new models. We have often heard the conclusion that "color reproduction is almost the same" in various media reviews of cameras. The test sample is as follows:

Of course, the difference is definitely there, and it will be compared in automatic mode. Obviously, but not to the extent of polarizing the user base.

In personal comparison, the most obvious difference is in portrait shooting. It is difficult to get close to the two, but each can produce good pictures. The color is irreplaceable. In manual mode + RAW, Nikon’s magenta The Canon's has a more prominent green-yellow feel and a lighter taste. The two have different emphasis on saturation. This should be the original appearance of the two. This is not consistent with the popular saying on the Internet: "Nikon yellow, Canon red". Although Nikon also has "yellow" and Canon has "red", these are conditional attainments and are not the original appearance.
