  "textContent": "In my last post I wrote about borrowing a Fujifilm X-E5 to find out whether the grass was greener. My conclusion was that the film simulations are good but not better — just different — and that Nikon’s Flexible Picture Control on the Z5 II and Z6 III looked like it could produce richer results. I found a deal on a Z6 III, ordered it, and waited.\n\nThe camera arrived. First order of business: set up a custom Picture Control using Flexible Picture Control, aiming for the kind of rendering that made Fujifilm so appealing — vivid, slightly lifted greens, smooth shadows with a gentle glow, a look that feels alive without being garish. No post-processing, just the in-camera JPEG.",
