Just different profiles. The R9 file looked more natural but at the same time there was less light in the blue end for the camera to work with. All that aside, Tina could be fooling you all with a Nikon Coolpix 990 for all you know. You cannot tell from looking at a computer screen what camera took what photo, so making a judgment as to what is right or wrong is outrageous. If she had posted the original raw files, maybe, but she didn't. Kyle's been wowing everyone with iphone and digilux photos for quite some time now, proving that if all we do is use the electronic medium for our work, then there's no reason to have more than 2 million pixels. This can be proved with a D40 vs an M9 or an S2 or whatever. Get a decent lens (one that doesn't have a wonky front optical unit nor any decentering issues) of approximately the same coverage and aperture for aperture, you're not going to see the difference on a computer screen so long as the smallest sensor is the guide by which all the other larger images are cropped. It's like trying to judge how good a camera image is by looking at a newsprint photo.
