I suspect if Canon said "The Sun will rise in the west tomorrow" lots of people here would go "Cool! Where can I go and see it?"
Your understanding of facts is as astute as ever. The point was that DxO reported >14 stops of DR as a calculation based on downsampling an image to 8 MP, and the cameras reported with >14 stops of DR would be incapable of recording a scene with >14 stops of DR without clipping highlights, shadows or both.
I wonder if the sun rises in the west in dilbertland? :
Neutral said:On the other hand statement that 15 stops DR is more than enough is more than odd /strange.
I don't know that anyone here has argued that more DR wouldn't be better. It's just not a priority for everyone, even though for some it's obviously the sine qua non, and many of those people seem to think their opinion/desire is universally shared, despite substantial evidence to the contrary.
Ancient CR proverb: There are none so blind as those who must lift shadows by six stops to see.
