Sharp XV-Z30000 Projector - Image Quality

If only the images in this review looked anywhere near as good as they do on the screen from this Sharp XVZ30000.  They never do.  And my camera is only one part of the long chain which is:  "only as good as the weakest link."  Even if not for other issues, the camera itself cannot perfectly capture the colors correctly. In the case of the XV-Z30000 there definitely seems to be a slight shift toward redish magenta that you can see in some of the images, this isn't due to the Z30000, rather, the camera. You can spot it in the few grayscale images, which were definitely more neutral gray up on the screen when I was shooting the XV-Z30000 image.  This image was a very good if a touch warm gray, not what you see here with the projector in its monochrome mode: Let's say that on the screen it looked more like this (I've reduced color saturation in this case to give you a much better idea of what it actually looked like onscreen, eye-balling the change while viewing the frame on the projector): Those images are captured on a Canon 60D professional dSLR. Even so, there is always some minor color shift and other changes. From there, software (Photoshop), your browser, and your monitor, are also in the path, each adding some "color" to the image, changing it from the original XV-Z30000 projected image. As a result, while the photos can give you a good idea of picture quality, overall, the accuracy of the color on your screen is not going to be accurate enough for really close comparisons of, say the XV-Z30000 projector's skin tones, compared to some other similarly good projector. Take our images, therefore, with a grain - or pound - of salt.
