Sort of relative, I think.
I remember CBS being a big user of those Norelco PC-60s and 70s.  To my 
eye, those cameras never did look "sharp" like an RCA and the 
colorimetry leaned toward a "pastel" look.
I saw a world of difference between say, the CBS sitcoms of that era and 
the NBC stuff, like Sanford and Son, for example.
You guys who were out there directly involved....am I off base on this?
