Wow! I guess site founder Phil Askey got out at the right time. His Insta profile describes him as "now travelling and eating around the world". Here's a recent interview with him.

The comments towards the end are a little ironic now
"Amazon are giving the site everything it needs to continue to be the leading voice for everything photography related."
...until they pull the plug! The forums will be gone. I still have esoteric questions that a dpreview thread will answer. Are FB groups where it's at nowadays? They suck because they're insular, hard to read, and search. 
I imagine in the future, when these words are also gone, I'll be telling my kids "once upon a time there were internet boards and forums".
 

Maybe they figured they would prefer people to read reviews on amazon.com instead of dpreview.com

Are you talking about the default Adobe Color profile in Camera RAW / Lightroom?
If so, then I think all new cameras suffer from a slightly desaturated palette.
If you use a ColorChecker to create a custom profile for the S5ii you should get results that are a lot closer to the Adobe profile for 5D3.
If you're comparing Canon's own profiles (Standard, Neutral etc) versus Panasonic's - or Adobe's reverse engineered ones - then, yes, they are a lot nicer I think.

Omg, the plot thickens!

Pentax K-1 is a great underestimated camera. The only problem is slow af. But if you are lucky you can do someting like this:

Ha ha! Even 6 is enough for most uses. During lockdown, to give myself a project I bought a few 300Ds and 400Ds on eBay and sent them around the country, asking people to take self portraits which I then edited.

Ha ha! I've done a couple of photo shoots with my S5II and it works pretty well. But shooting with the 5D3 is like wearing a second skin.
And one thing I've noticed is that the Adobe RAW profiles (Color, Standard and Neutral) for the 5D3 give almost perfectly realistic colour reproduction, unlike the profiles for newer cameras. I think in the old days the Adobe guys who designed the profiles worked hard to get accurate colour, at the expense of sometimes getting colour warping or banding in extreme coloured lighting, like a stage show. Newer profiles seem to err on the side of caution in that regard, but are a little less accurate, and certainly slightly lower saturation.

I think I get where you are coming from. I never made the switch to mirrorless for photos. I tried taking photos with my EOS-R, G85, and even my GH1 and I'm just not into it. I find that my trusty old 5Diii is still more satisfying to use. I even picked up an Olympus e500 and Sony A350 because they are so inexpensive right now. They are also a lot of fun and offer great character. I have particularly been enjoying the A350 at ISO 1600:

I for one would be more interested in learning more about your adventures in still photography. With the exception of one regular client, I've managed to keep photography as strictly a hobby. Compared to a medium like video, still photography levels the playing field for capturing something interesting.

"a much more satisfying and crunchy shutter mechanism"
@Andrew Reid the most fun shutter I've experienced is the superb whack of the film EOS 1 series. It's a proper belter!

I get it. Never getting rid of my 5D iii

The idea of editorial independence was enshrined in the BBC’s founding Royal Charter in 1927, which stated the corporation should be “independent in all matters of internal control.” This was a way of ensuring the BBC’s coverage was not subject to political interference or pressure from any external sources such as the government.
Now the editorial independence of the BBC is at best completely neutered by the Conservative Party. Many talented journalists have left. In many respects the best news organisation in the world has taken to sourcing stories purely from Twitter and social media.

When our music turns rubbish and our language ugly we know there's trouble ahead. Filmmakers and photographers seem to be on the way out, to be replaced by something altogether more homogenous - the "content creator" or simply "creator". Why specialise when you can just "create stuff"?

Hopefully Panasonic will include a -1 sharpening option in firmware update like they did before.
I haven't seen it yet in any of my footage. To be honest, if someone regularly underexposes their footage by 4 stops they  probably have more pressing things to worry about than what camera body they're shooting on 😂

You could load this up on your monitor in a dark room and shoot the screen! It doesn't need to be accurate to the actual values of a ColorChecker, it's just to make a comparison between cameras.

I would love to see a colour chart shot with the same lens, lighting and settings on each in V-Log. There seems to be considerable variation in colour between some Panasonic models (GH series) and I'm wondering if the same is true for S5 and S5II

Omg, the plot thickens!

Will do a S5 - S5II comparison later on, if you guys want me to test something specific let me know. 

Might sell them my 1D C first.

Andrew, I think you should sue Microsoft and then settle out of court, like you usually do 😂
