If my camera has its own look or tonality I don't have the eye to see it. And I cant tell from looking at one of my shots which of my 5 digital cameras I've sued extensively shot it. Each shot is its own challenge there is a huge amount of information to choose from. What the camera would want I don't know maybe if I shot jpegs. Though the settings on those are also numerous. But don't I certainly shoot raw. Any shot could have gone a million different ways.
