Submit a file (or view repo)

If you can provide a raw file from a camera we're currently missing, if the sample we have is not under co, or if you can provide a more useful photo from a camera model we already support (but NOT a photo of a color target!), please upload that file now.

Upload


We are looking for shots that are:

  • Well-lit, pattern-full, scenery, low ISO. For example, a daylight landscape
  • NOT a color target
  • Lens mounted on the camera, cap off
  • Image in focus and properly exposed
  • Landscape orientation

We are NOT looking for:

  • color targets
  • Series of images with different ISO, aperture, shutter, wb, lighting, or different lenses
  • DNG files created with Adobe DNG Converter
  • Photographs of people, for legal reasons.

View only the non-co samples.

View all the cameras with no samples at all.
