Canon Pixma MP Pro 954nBest RAW compressed to XMP compressed to ZIP, for results see the samples at the bottom of the page. The color reproduction is excellent, while the dynamic range is more than good, as some HDR screenshots show.The tonal range is very good and the colors are quite natural. Especially if you try to do some RAW compression, it is very good, too. You can use the slider to adapt the shadows to a more professional look. But even without that, it is already quite good.The image sharpness is really good. At some points it is even slightly better than an Sony FS100 (which at the time of testing was the leading camera on this score). Here you can use the slider to give a more professional sharpness with an higher pass sharpening. But if you don’t need a lot of sharpness, you can use it to get more blur with a lower pass sharpening.The sensor noise is average, with no dark or light areas. It’s also quite normal to find a bit of a noise in high-contrast areas. When taking the photos at ISO 6400, it is almost at the same level as the Nikon D610. But when going down in ISO, the noise decreases a bit.If you want to go professional, you can shoot RAW and use the professional settings from Canon. With the best settings, the images are about as good as the Sony FS100 and the Nikon D610. After that, the sharpness, noise and dynamic range start to drop a bit. Even with the best settings, the image sharpness is still quite good and the dynamic range is at the same level as the FS100. But the noise is also increased and the tonal range is definitely decreased.By that, the Canon MP Pro 954n is a camera to be used for very creative work. You can take very good RAW photos, but the extra work in post-processing will be high. But if you just want to take some creative photos, it is very good.Because the RAW compression is very good, the MP Pro 954n should also have good color rendering. And here you can use the slider to give a more blue or more green look.But if you want to work professionally, RAW is certainly not the way to go. If you do this, you should use Adobe Camera Raw. The dynamic range is very good and there is no noise, but the color is not always accurate. And for the sharpness
