Hey can i get everyone's opinion? Took a few night scene photos. 3 sets of photo, each scene shot with difference cam.
which do feel is better?
If u guys have time, please compare full size vs full size at flickr aswell

First scene
1A 1A
1B 1B

Second scene
2A 2A
2B 2B

Third scene:
3A 3A
3B 3B

3 scene/pairs (A/B)

If you're looking for an honest answer, I'd say I wouldn't use any of them.

purely to answer your kinda generic and very subjective question i would prefer

1A, 2A, 3B

on the other hand, the pictures seems to be taken with different exposure settings, varied white balance (not just different cameras). were these taken using P(rogram) or Auto mode?

what exactly are you looking for in the output quality? sharpness, resolution, accurate scene colour representation, etc?

set01.
the picture 1A is definately better. proper WB and exposure, but it somehow made it look like a daytime...

but i personnally like the 1B(so it shows its night shot)

set02.
i personally liked 2B... but it seems 2A has better quality...

set03...
3A, seem like this camera has wide dynamic range.

just my opinion. everyone has their own.

IMO, just go for the one that looks good for you. Different people different taste.

On regards to the selection reason, does not make sense. At least tell us the testing methodology, what you plan to achieve, RAW or JPEG, something. All of them looks to me like taken in Auto mode, especially the last scene where obviously 3A has it's shadow lifted.

^ pretty much the above.

The only usable image in my book is 3A, 3B is like the bad version of 3A.

2A and 2B are absolute rubbish.

1A and 1B are quite bad, not as bad as the second scene but there's nothing interesting in that composition.

Remember that photography is about lights, photos FAIL when they're not properly exposed.

I think TS is testing camera rather than composition. But I don't really see the point if we don't know the setting used.
