Difference between cameras (raw)?

You can get different sets of primaries for the same camera, depending on how you create them.

But they are only different in the sense that the mathematics is different!

Physically a camera can only have one well defined colour space.

Where did you get that sRGB from?

The sRGB (solid body) is the standard sRGB colour space. The mesh is the colour space of the camera. If it would deliver colours in strict sRGB the two should be identical. If they are discrepant it means that the camera does not deliver genuine sRGB colours.

I am not an expert in digital cameras. But from what I read, also in raw data you do not get the signal delivered by the CCD or CMOS detectors. They are already modified by the firmware (see remark by Hunt, cited above).

@bastibe

My cameras do not produce sRGB raw files, but something with a markedly larger gamut.

How do you know? Do you have an ICC-profile for them? Normally, cameras offer a choice between sRGB and AdobeRGB, if you can select. Otherwise, sRGB is assumed as the default.
