Yeah, I can agree with that. Before I got into photography I believed the same thing. In fact I was driven to it by the disparities in my own images when compared to professional examples.

The reason this article is so frustrating to me is that instead of the author highlighting what has been true since the dawn of photography - that cameras never truly capture the scene as we view it - they chose to baselessly attack a specific set of devices which happen to have cameras attached to them.

If this were to happen 10 years ago to someone using a Nikon Coolpix 1234Whatever, they would be equally disappointed, and someone using an Olympus Stylus somethingorotherD may have been very pleased. The color representation in images has always been the property of the medium's manufacturer, from Kodak to Polaroid and so on.

It would have been nice to see the author share information instead of just ignorant disappointment
