Tom001 Posted January 5 Share #1 Posted January 5 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) I just bought an S006 that replaced the new sensor in 2018. Since the number of S006s with new sensors is very small, I grabbed it this time. In the next few days, I will compare it with S007. I hope that S006 can bring me a surprise.

I spent $2800 to buy a s006, a new sensor, the machine was rarely used, very new Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sincurves Posted January 6 Share #6 Posted January 6 I put 3.5k into getting mine fixed (mirrorbox replaced+++). Came back as new, operates super smooth. Lovely files, but tech does start to feel a bit dated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLAUMAX Posted January 6 Share #7 Posted January 6 Advertisement (gone after registration) Great buy. I had a S007 earlier and only kept a S006 with the new sensor. S007 is a more modern camera but I prefer the files from the S006. Furthermore, a S006 with a new sensor is harder to find than a S007. Enjoy your new camera. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tirpitz666 Posted January 6 Share #8 Posted January 6 (edited) Congrats for the purchase, I bought myself an S-E with a replaced sensor in very good shape for Eur 2000 about a month ago and so far pretty happy with that, I like the colors straight out of camera much more than the 007, so I decided to jump to the less modern CCD iteration (as many others did before me apparently 🙂). And the S lenses will remain lovely (and usable) for years to come (and can now be found for very reasonable prices first of all). Enjoy!

ben446 Posted January 12 Share #10 Posted January 12 (edited) Would love to see a side by side comparison. Also fun to create a LR preset to give the 006 look to the 007 files. Edited January 12 by ben446 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben446 Posted April 2 Share #11 Posted April 2 I started to mess around with a LRC preset to give 007 files a 006 look using pics from this post (thank you David). I am sure someone with both cameras and a color checker could do a much better job (hint hint). Below preset is a another take on the great Red Dot Forum collection.

Pieter12 Posted April 2 Share #12 Posted April 2 I tried your preset. Interesting, here is a screen shot of the result from a random test. The 006 preset is on the left, the Capture One processed as I normally do and exported to .psd file is on the right. Welcome, dear visitor!

Pieter12 Posted April 2 Share #13 Posted April 2 I went back because I realized there were adjustments made in Capture One that were not made in PS. Here is a more apples-to-apples comparison, 006 preset on the left, 007 straight file on the right: Welcome, dear visitor!

ben446 Posted April 3 Share #14 Posted April 3 (edited) Interesting. What has struck me about the 006 files I see online is always the blues. Just FYI, the v1.1 preset I linked to does not effect clarity and sharpening.

davidmknoble Posted April 3 Share #15 Posted April 3 here’s what I would want to see. How about a nice sunny bright day landscape shot. That is where I think the dynamic range increase helps over the ‘ccd look’. But that is just my opinion, others could differ. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
