Evening all, I am new to this forum and to Sony cameras. I have been shooting Canon for years, and still do, but I bought an A7Rii for a few reasons. So far I'm liking it. It is a fantastic bit of kit for my landscape work. I'm still learning my way round it and appraoching the point where I don't need to fuss about where things are and am just able to get on and shoot. Most of my shooting is slow tripod based landscapes, a lot of which are in low light or at night. ANYWAY...... My question to you folks is...... How do you find the colour rendition on the A7Rii? I am noticing various colour casts in different lighting situations. I know every camera system has its own intricacies and feel. I guess after years of processing Canon RAWs I feel as if the A7Rii has a different feel to it. I know this could easily be my processing, and that I need to find different ways to treat colour and tones etc. Has anyone else found this after shooting other systems?

Hi. I'm a reasonably competent and experienced landscape photographer, about the push the borders of my comfort zone considerably. In three days I will be taking part in an on-the-spot competition whose theme is People and Place. The competition is in the venerable and ancient English city of York and I'm looking to combine both elements of the subject by shooting a model in an iconic setting. In the first case, I will be shooting one of York Minster's stone masons working in the Minster Stoneyard; in the second I will be shooting a female model at the city's Victorian railway station setting her stillness against the movement of commuters. I will be using natural light with my Sony A99 in combination with Sony Carl Zeiss SSM 16-35mm ZA f2.8, Minolta A 50mm, and Sony 100-300mm. I welcome any thoughts on this, particularly regarding settings and possible presets for the camera. Thanks in anticipation.
