Dynamic Range example please

[te1973]

Dear all,

since many people are complaining about Canon's lacking DR capabilities (including upcoming 5Ds),
can please someone upload the same picture, same scene, same framing, same settings shot with
a 5D Mark III and as a comparison one of the praised Nikon's or Sony's etc. having better DR.
Please make also the RAW files available.
I would like to see the difference myself in a living example.
Otherwise I don't believe.

Thx.

Tom

Sure: http://chrisgilesphotography.com/blog/pentax-645z-review-pt1-the-journey/

Sony Exmoor Sensor pushed three stops at ISO12800 at the top. 5D3, same settings at the bottom.

OK, I wasn't specific enough.
As a landscaper I use ISO 100 most of the time.
This is also a realistic scenario for the 5Ds which is also rather aiming at landscapes.
And please no pushing please. I can do this myself with the RAW.

This page from the Nikon D750 review demonstrates exactly what you are asking about. They allow you to download the raw files and have a tinker with them yourself.

IMO the difference is pretty hard to deny. Whether it has any impact on one's particular style of photography, on the other hand, is another matter.

Although this does not answer your question, it does demonstrate what Canon leaves on the table despite having the hardware to produce better results.

This is a magic Lantern function (google it) called dual iso: It takes one shot, and instead of 11-12 stops of DR, can give you up to 14-15. The shot below shows you what I mean.

The RAW is a canon RAW file pushed (shadow recovery) and the other is a dual iso version of the same shot/ similar exposure settings (barring the dual iso setting).

This is not exposure bracketing, it is one shot exposed for highlights (this is a crop to show the differences).

Again.... what Canon leaves at the table with the existing 5D3 hardware.

If you like to compare images and play with the raw files, then you best go to dpreview and download their files ofthe different cameras. This way, you can see yourself how DR affects your photography.

Can we have Cat pics? I am suprised by the amount of examples.

Really... DR seemto be a big problem!!

Otherwise I don't believe.

I don't see your problem, unless you disbelieve the dr measurements done by various sites:

Take any scene you had to bracket with 3 exposures and ~1.5ev spacing. With an exmor Sensor from the Sonikon empire or Magic Lantern's dual_iso you can capture the same scene in one shot. And if something moves (like a windmill in front of a sunset), this is your only option to do it.
