And this is how you can use dpr tools to see the improvements at low iso - push from iso 100 to a higher iso - the improvement from 1DXII to III is there, and for the 5DIII to IV it is massive:

I wonder why the R6 has a lower dynamic range at low ISO than the R5. Shouldn't larger pixels help when it comes to dynamic range?And this is how you can use dpr tools to see the improvements at low iso - push from iso 100 to a higher iso - the improvement from 1DXII to III is there, and for the 5DIII to IV it is massive:
There are some artefacts with the R5 due to a change in amplifier circuitry between isoi320 and iso400. Larger pixels do have greater full well depth but they also have larger dark current, but that's not the problem.I wonder why the R6 has a lower dynamic range at low ISO than the R5.

No, not if you care about an image rather than an individual pixel.Shouldn't larger pixels help when it comes to dynamic range?
I would expect it to be just a misreported price for R5.Not sure what to make of this. A Thai site is showing 134,900 Baht (about 4300 USD) for R3.

Couldnt they use software and AI to help with noise and detail or at least have an advanced correction mode in case purists dont like it.You would need to break the laws of physics to have a two-stop improvement in noise at the iso12800 in that comparison tool setting! At high isos, the limiting factor in noise is mainly statistical fluctuations in the low number of photons captured (photon shot noise rather than electronic noise) and the signal to noise is given by sqrt(number of photons captured). Modern sensors have been greater than 80% efficient at capturing photons for several years and so there is room for only a tiny improvement, a fraction of a stop, and which is why you have seen only some improvement.
Edit: Michael, your reply was posted while I was writing mine and so sorry to repeat what you said.
That's what we do now in post-processing or the camera does to various degrees in RAW to jpeg processing, and has done for generations and is ever improving. But, it doesn't alter the signal/noise of the sensor or its dynamic range. We already have the choice of using jpegs from Canon's in-built software or as "purists" we process the RAW files ourselves. As processors increase in power, not doubt Topaz AI Denoise or its equivalent might be able to work at 30 fps to output jpegs.Couldnt they use software and AI to help with noise and detail or at least have an advanced correction mode in case purists dont like it.
Thats the price of the R5 in ThailandI would expect it to be just a misreported price for R5.

I noticed that the same cameras show less dynamic range in that diagram if you crop them to APS-C. So it seems to take into consideration the pixel density of an image that helps to recover more detail. I wonder if there is another tool that gives me the dynamic range without considering the pixel density. It feels wrong to say that an image loses dynamic range by cropping it. It still is a smaller part of a larger image.There are some artefacts with the R5 due to a change in amplifier circuitry between isoi320 and iso400.

Unfortunatlely camera manufacturers already apply some noise reduction algorithms on RAW images that you can't disable. I really hate that. RAW for me means really raw pixels. That secret noise reduction is a form of cheating. They just want to make their cameras look good on paper when it comes to "RAW noise with noise reduction disabled".Couldnt they use software and AI to help with noise and detail or at least have an advanced correction mode in case purists dont like it.
It may feel wrong to you, but it's just math. Image height is a component of the DR measurement, a cropped image from a FF sensor has less height, therefore the DR is lower (in a non-linear way). See this.I noticed that the same cameras show less dynamic range in that diagram if you crop them to APS-C.

The reason why they appear to have lower DR when cropped to APS-C mode isn't because of pixel density, it is because of the way DR is measured. They define DR as the dynamic range you see when you enlarge the image to 8"x10" and hold it at a distance equivalent to arms length. A crop image has to be enlarged 1.6x the height and 1.6x the width of a FF image, and this lowers the measured DR.I noticed that the same cameras show less dynamic range in that diagram if you crop them to APS-C.

Someone needs to keep S*nyx honest, thanks!There, I fixed it for 'ya.
Kolari Vision did a teardown of the internals and they now have a heatsink mod for the R5 for $400.If one looks at the thermal imaging test Roger Cicala did with an R5, it's most definitely the CFe card that is the hottest place in the camera when shooting 8K video and saving it internally.
Interesting solution! Similar to the hack with copper heatsink that someone on youtube did but with Koalari's warranty.Kolari Vision did a teardown of the internals and they now have a heatsink mod for the R5 for $400.
I am not sure that it gained enough overheat time for the mod to be worth it but Kolari Vision is an interesting company.
R5 Cooling Mod Doubles 8K Recording Time, Cuts Recovery Time By 66%
This modded R5 is significantly better at managing its heat than Canon's stock camera.petapixel.com
People seem to focus on that copper heatsink hack but it did not even gain as much record time as the Kolari one and made the case very hot as I think will still happen with this one.Interesting solution! Similar to the hack with copper heatsink that someone on youtube did but with Koalari's warranty.
What is doesn't mention is how to reduce the temperature on the back panel
