Canon yet?
I'm sure if they have, it's model specific. Which models?
Not for me. I prefer Nikon color to Canon myself.Stanly wrote: Would be nice to see Nikon get on board with Canons color science.

Shouldn't be confusing. All RAW files are not the same even between different models of the same brand. There are different filter arrays used to determine color among many other things. The in camera software tells other software how to interpret the file so an image can be rendered. If you think all the 0's and 1's are the same in all raw files, you're mistaken. One manufacturer may get it's reading from a pixel and decide that reading is a certain color of blue. The other brand may decide that reading is a tiny touch more cyan. If you want to complicate it further, consider Fuji's X-Trans filter array. The interpretation of that information is much different than a common bayer filter array. The conclusion is Nikon raw doesn't equal Canon raw doesn't equal Sony raw, so forth and so on. Each brand determines how it interprets and renders color.fmw wrote:

Now you've confused me even more. You are referring to the color rendition of raw files. Raw files are used, not for viewing, but for a basis for editing. Sounds like much ado about absolutely nothing.
