I have a little question, I hope this would make sense, since i'm also new in photography.

Did you also consider the similarity or difference giving the settings(Active D-Lighting for Nikon and Auto Lighting optimizer or Highlight Tone priority for Canon(i dont know canon yet)) on your provided camera settings above?
I think the gamma curve of the ambient light reflected on the subject changes depends on the settings of Active D-Lighting or Auto Lighting optimizer. This affects the color vibrancy also..

Maybe you can try also check the difference having this feature...Using(Auto, High, Normal, Off)

looking forward on the result...

tongyong: I made this article about a month ago, I don't have the D3 anymore. As far as extra camera features, I turn them all OFF. For me, most are useless and I rarely use anything w/ AUTO in it and if it sound too much technical, I discard it. I have another part of this article where I tested both camera's Auto White Balance. Auto WB is easier to understand that Lighting Optimizer / D-Lighting whatever it is... Even though, I don't think those Technical features would remove Nikon's saturated colors. Again, more of this coming soon. Thank you.

Thank you very much for that information, that is so kind of you explaining it.

I see, so this concludes that Canon is better than Nikon at your perspective...I agree in that sense.

Photography has been one of the most sought-after hobbies. And it's not an expensive one.

Once you really get into this hobby, it becomes quite expensive in the long run, hehe.

The skin tone test? I totally agree, haha. It's what I usually see even when comparing entry-level cams of nikon and canon.

The comparison on color tone is also true. However, it only applies to professional photographers, graphic printing companies, and publishing houses that have exacting standards when it comes to printing quality. For newbies and hobbyists however, it is simply a slight difference that often doesn't matter. Later on, once the hobbyist starts to get serious and accepts paid shoots like weddings and such, then it becomes important.

Just my 2 cents though, based on my limited experience. Looking forward to the next installment. Thanks!

@sevmik: hi, sorry.. that was a typographical error there. that was supposed to be "And it's an EXPENSIVE one." hehehe.. thanks for quoting. edited already.

Good work..But i think canon is always a better brand in compassion to Nikon just because of its picture quality and user friendly operations.
