Remember the Canon "See Impossible" campaign?

Now I know what it means -- they saw a Sony at the end of the tunnel!

"42.4MP... ignoring medium format, who would've thought that we'd have to call that not class-leading? You can thank the Canon 5DS and 5DS R for that, which the a7R II falls short of with respect to resolution. And yet, in almost every other respect, the sensor in the a7R II is bound to outclass the 50.6MP sensors in Canon's latest high-resolution beasts."

Don't be mad at me. I use Canon gear almost exclusively. Canon produces some finest quality equipment, as does Sony. It's just that the word "impossible" appears in both places and is impossible () to ignore. Don't shoot the messenger

Will this thread generate more light than heat or more heat than light?

I read that article this morning, and I had to laugh at the example photo of the tulips... with the Sony he needed to merge two exposures AND use a 3-stop ND filter, and he still claims the Sony sensor is the only way to get this sort of dynamic range...

Not the way I interpreted what he wrote in the article.

He used the 3 stop graduated neutral density filter and a single exposure.

Except where he mentioned he took one shot at f22 and one at f8 - by my count, that's two exposures... but maybe the Sony compressed them down to one?

Apparently for DOF reasons. Shoulda used tilt Then it'd just be a single shot...with a GND.

Rishi didn't exposure bracket the shot. He took two exposures for better looking sunstars (f/22) and perhaps more DOF as someone wrote. (combining the f/8 and f/22 exposures)
Could this be taken with a Canon? Yes, if it wasn't windy. Because I would want to exposure bracket for better shadows. Tilt would remove focus bracketing out of the equation but it's not always possible.

A single shot with a 17mm TS-E on a 5D SR (with or without an ND grad) could easily accomplish the same thing... except it would show more detail.

No kidding. It is either a laughable joke or a misinform impossible comment: http://www.dpreview.com/previews/canon-eos-5ds-sr/samples/5DS-TulipSunrise-FullSize.jpg

"Even consumer-grade gear now produces lovely wide dynamic range images, with great colour and extremely low noise." — Michael Reichmann in "Rediscovering Craft" on Luminous Landscape. I agree.

Whereas I don't. Even pro-grade gear is capable of producing average colour with noticeable noise. Digital imaging is still in its infancy.

Any gear can be used in a way that makes it fail ... or succeed. I see a heck of a lot of pros doing fine work with gear that somebody says is lacking in some respect, even consumer gear.

zlatko, I agree with us both. Personally, I am just at a critical stage.

The best part of this is that we can argue back and forth about 2 (5DS & A7R II) cameras which have so much more ability than we thought possible just a few years ago. And they both take Canon glass!

+1, more toys/tools options for us. Both take canon glass, A7Rii will take more lights and it won't contaminate them the way canon cam usually does. It's a win-win situation for most of us. You are absolutely right, no one back us up two years ago.

You mean like the dull purple-grey sky in the tulip photo above?
