Color Accuracy (15.56)

This test looks at how accurately the camera captures known color values from a chart, and the Sony T900 did very well in its standard color mode, though it had some issues with oranges and reds. We test color accuracy by shooting a chart of known color values at 3000 lux of illumination, and use a program called Imatest to see how far the camera deviates from this. Of the comparison cameras, it was overall the most accurate, though the Canon and Fuji also scored well here. Click here for more on how we test color

NOTE: Because of the way computer monitors reproduce colors, the images above do not exactly match the originals found on the chart or in the captured images. The chart should be used to judge the relative color shift, not the absolute captured colors.

The chart below compares how the cameras scored based on their most accurate color mode. Color accuracy has long been a stronghold of Canon cameras, but you can see here that both the Sony and Fuji cameras are more accurate than the SD970, and the Casio lagged behind.

Color Modes (3.00)

The Sony Cyber-shot T900 has four color modes: Normal, Vivid, Sepia, and Black and White. Unsurprisingly, Normal was substantially more accurate than Vivid.
