That would be consistent with the drop in base ISO. Not more light efficient - just deeper pixel wells.


Indeed, however if I am reading their claims right, they are also saying it improves ISO performance by gathering more light information. Soon we will find out .

There's a bit of wordsmithing on their part - reads like a politician The diagram shows deeper pixel wells, again consistent with the lower base ISO. To which they say:

"Take your photography into new territory. The D810’s redesigned image sensor gathers more light information to make it the first Nikon camera to offer a base sensitivity of ISO 64. Such superior low-sensitivity enables cleaner, better-defined images when shooting in bright light, and you can shoot at up to ISO 12800, or extend the range from 32 to 51200 ISO equivalent."

The "and you can shoot at up to ISO 12800" seems related to the ISO 64/low-sensitivity claim but it's syntactically a separate, unrelated statement, and should prove to be unrelated in a technical sense as well. The High ISO improvement will likely be in the deep shadows and the result of reduction in read noise.
