>> Is possible (is there any point) to profile a camera?

The subject of a long debate(Won't even start to look  here at the issues 
regarding firmware/hidden software combinations that produce pleasing 
rather than the accurate colour we need . Look at the scanner sharpening 
debate ...in many (Most ?) cases ,it's switched on even when it's 
supposedly switched off ) . 

Probably better to look at the idea of the characterisation of the chip 
rather than profiling for each set.

There is no doubt that using a Macbeth chart and the relevant software is 
going to produce a much better result than just using a white point 
correction or grey balance. We're in the middle of a colour critical job 
at present and the camera calibration using our older Philips chip in the 
Sinar 23 is producing remarkably accurate results ( We're checking our 
output by using spectrophotometer to measure our subject matter ......how 
sad is that ? )
