To put "accuracy" in perspective: I'm shooting with a consumer-level camera, but it's tweaked to be as neutral as possible. It has a Cinema mode which gives a somewhat flatter, non-aggressive gamma curve (unlike the "torch mode" on most cheap cameras) and I also changed settings such as saturation, brightness, etc. to make the result as neutral as possible. If I need brighter colors or bigger contrast, that can be taken care of in post - and now I see AviSynth could be used for that (but that's not the subject of this discussion).

I guess I should really use a "prosumer" camera, but those are 5 times more expensive. Can't do that now.

So I don't need something that looks flashy or "sharp" to the average user. I need something that is close to the original.
