This unique technology allows your camera to reproduce all colors accurately, including difficult hues such as violet, deep blue, and sunlit green...The RGB (Red, Green, Blue) color model was designed for the efficient production of colors using a trichromatic light emitter, such as a computer monitor or a camera LCD. It is a model for producing illumination; it was not designed to simulate the complexity of human color vision. Although RGB can be used to produce millions of color combinations, the hues are not arranged in a way that is consistent with how we see. As a result, digital cameras generate a simplified, limited spectrum. The color inaccuracy of the RGB color model occurs throughout the visible spectrum, but it is articularly [sic] evident in violets, indigoes [sic], blues and greens."</i><br /><br />This is the first I've heard of this, though they <a href="http://shopping.netsuite.com/site/dcf-fs-swf.html">have an interesting demo</a> where they tell you to point your digital camera (it must have a live LCD preview) at the monitor showing purple, and you'll see only a shade of blue on your camera (that's what happened with my Canon SD800). I'd like to hear from you digital photographers - is this real, or a solution in search of a problem?
