p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · 5D MkIV long exposures?


I am wondering if anybody has already tried the 5D MkIV for very long exposures and how it performs with LNR off, compared to the MkIII.

Thank you, Giulio

This guy has tested a lot of cameras for long exposure noise, now also the 5D IV. You can select it in the drop-down list. It looks good.

Thanks, I checked the web-site and compared the MkIV to the MkIII and I don't see much difference

A short video by Jim Goldstein might answer your questions:

Just looking at the images, yes it seems like little difference.
He has quantitative results which show the IV is better than the III which is useful to me. It would be more useful to have a practical understanding of the numerical results. It would be even more useful to have some 4 minute night sky exposures side by side. However, it seems the testing shows the IV is not inferior to the III. This was not the case with the A7R2 and 5DSR which saved me from considering an upgrade.

Am I looking at his comparisons wrong, or is the Fuji X type camera data showing it is even cleaner than the top of the line Canon and Nikon gear? That is on the site linked above.

No you are correct, the X-T1 is superb with long exposures at base iso. Though if you compare the Fujis with e.g. a d810, i find that the blacks in the fuji clip more. Not sure why.

Thanks for the link to the Sensor Noise comparison site. Very interesting.

Appears from this that my 760D is better for long exposures than my old 5D2 (which does not surprise me) but that the former model appears very similar to the 7D2, which does surprise me. In terms of pure sensor performance the latest Rebels seem to hold their own against very much more expensive kit.

From what I understand, Fuji RAWs are a bit more "cooked" than others. Supposedly the process of demosaicizing the RAW files from the X-Trans sensor indirectly involves some noise reduction as part of the algorithm. Some details are necessarily lost at ISOs below 6400, as perhaps evidenced by the observed clipped/crushed blacks. This might be the reason why DXOMark can't come up with meaningful/not-preposterous DR readings for the Fuji X-Trans cameras.
