Actually, theoretical dynamic range scales the exact same way too.
Did you skip physics classes by any chance? LOL
That's ridiculous. The primary benefit of a larger sensor to dynamic range is that you get less noise,
and less noise means higher potential dynamic range. That should be all you "expect" out of going Full Frame.
Hmm, I don't get it. You to fully agree with me ... after you've slammed my statement as ridiculous ??
To increase the theoretical dynamic range of a camera's ability to record, you need to mess with the analog to digital converter and that isn't a trivial exercise.
That's not
theoretical DR. What you are saying is implementation-specific.
Let's not confuse theory with implementation.
Neuro's original argument was that DR doesn't scale with sensor size - when in fact it does.
That's the theory and it's correct.
In practice, Canon's off-chip ADC implementation makes the theory look wrong.
But if you look at Sony sensors, FF sensors generally have better DR than crop sensors - in line with the theory.
But Canon apologists live in alternate reality, where DR is not correlated to sensor size.
Keep the faith, guys. LOL
