full frame colors

[ralfmouth]

Are full frame colors different? People argue this way and that, and no one seems sure.
I'd like to invest in micro 4/3 but this color issue keeps gravitating me back to full frame.
Please help me decide! Thanks. The saturaton looks more natural to me.

No, sensor size has no influence on colors. But a different manufacturer certainly will influence color rendition, and no single manufacturer makes both m4/3 and fullframe video cameras, so there you go.

it's not a sensor size thing, but a camera model thing (except most Canons have nearly the same colors)

I never realized that. Thanks. So differences are probably in the codec or what not.
An argument i read a lot is that the reduced noise of FF increases color purity / vibrancy.
This sounds like a good point but only at higher iso. (Ken Rockwell 5d vs d200 below).
The FF looks a little more vibrant to me here, but i would say its more exposed.

Yes i think its the shallow dof that is attracting me, not the colors.

Sensor size has nothing to do with it. You must just like the colors from a certain manufacturer (plural?) that also makes full frame cameras.
