Which digital cameras give more organic results?

Guys, except Hasselblad, I worked with cameras of each brand so I assume I know what I'm talking about.

Throughout my photographic journey, my challenge has always been to obtain images that are as natural as possible and therefore I have always reduced the presence of digital to the bone by changing the settings of the camera with which I worked.

This way of understanding digital photography is due to the fact that the fixed point and the model remains film photography, even if the advantages that digital gives you allow you to work professionally, quickly and without the costs of chemical photography. But an excessive digitization fomented by the automatic settings that technological advancement has introduced into digital has meant that the results often move away from that sublime imperfection which is, at least for me, the soul of photography.

While for most photographers this is not a problem and on the contrary it is seen as an advantage for my photography and my experience of it, certain solutions are absolutely deleterious. For example, by default many cameras give you such digitalized results that in my eyes they are cold and excessively false.

And so in all these years I have favored choices that not everyone can understand. And that includes both settings and certain lens choices, such as using manual lenses. I know that many live with an excessive contrast and an HDR that reduces the photographs to posters like the unique photography they consider. We see this a lot also in awards, but this is not me. And I dislike also certain fashionista aesthetic that now it also imposes itself in certain simulations built in the cameras. And the only thing they get with me is that I want to throw up. I know that sensors often come from the same manufacturer (Sony) but the variables that each manufacturer then proposes change the results in a decisive way and therefore I can tell you, based on my experience that only three have satisfied me in all these years.

In my experience the digital cameras giving more “organic” results are (no particular order):

RICOH

If you are a Japanese Photography lover Ricoh cameras alwways made it special. In black and white you can obtain results that remind to the seminal experience of PROVOKE and the photography of Daido Moriyama.

LEICA

I just worked with a compact Leica camera (Leica X2) and guys, setting at 1600 ISO it is possible to achieve in black and white a rsult similar to TRI-X emulsion. But also in color (and I am talking about the JPG straight from the camera) is great.

CANON

With particular precautions, Canon's reflex cameras bring me back to so much photography that I have come to love, perhaps in the reference Mexican photography magazine for me Cuartoscuro.

In general, guys, I suggest you turn off the light optimizations that have come to help photographers with the exposure, but which for me lead to a digitalization of the images that I believe to be really cloying because it is very fake.

I am perfectly aware that not all the photographers want to obtain an “organic” and film-alike result. If you have any suggest or recommendation you can write a comment here.
