This looks about right.

I did some calibration and testing, with my HDV 1080p video camera. I think these colors look about right.

I chose to test against my bedroom window, because the house paint really IS that vibrant, that way I set the limits on how vibrant it expresses chroma.

Well, does it look the same on screen as in real life? Also, all monitors are different.

Well, it looks very close, but not perfect.

My idea is to see how people perceive it when they never seen it in real life, to see if the colors are believable.

What if their own monitor is not calibrated? They'll never perceive the perception of the believable without correctly calibrating chroma control on their computer.

(I either need more coffee, or less coffee.)

It won't be true to the color, but the differences between the screen and the wall will still be unchanged. It is effective.

Looks a bit grey. Perhaps more vibrance is needed? Also, it probably doesn't look the same on your monitor as what I'm seeing.

Yeah, it's going to look different on every monitor, kinda pointless.

ill get back to you as soon as B&H gets around to shipping my Dreamcolor


I do not think the image looks too grey at all! It looks far more lifelike than the typical video, which is almost always oversaturated (if not during filming, then during post). Very very nicely done, indeed

Can't comment on the photo quality, but great song choice.

Here's a live test of the cameras color settings.

YouTube - Lets Take a Ride 2

If you can, run the video at 720p or 1080p.

Irony is the cameras microphone really is bad.
