I’m considering buying a Sony DSC-828 digital camera. A couple reviews mention as a drawback the fact that images cannot be saved to Adobe RBG *(1998) color space, but instead to something called sYCC. Apparently Canon cameras also use this color space; according to a Canon spokesman "All Canon digital cameras capture images in a color space called sYCC which has a considerably larger color gamut than either Adobe RGB or sRGB." Elsewhere I read that "sYCC colour space…apparently cannot be used as a working space like sRGB or Adobe RGB" so images need to be converted.
I customarily use Adobe RGB throughout workflows that result in printing. I’m a bit confused about how much of a bother it might be to use images from a camera based on sYCC that have to be converted, and conversely whether it might actually be possible to use sYCC as a working space given that it seems to have a wider gamut.
Any enlightenment appreciated–
