As this thread is reactivtated again, some images I did which shows the significant progress the D600 sensor made by Sony introduces to everyday shooting.
Example one.
A dark image at night with not that many highlights.That is the easy one, as there is enough headroom to push up exposure without running danger to blow highlights.
I was walking in the night. 10pm. The moon was partly covered by clouds passing by. I did not have my remote wireless with me, so my exposure time was limited to 30 sec (you need the wireless beyond 30 sec exposure)
The following image is not the way I usually post process my images, but is purely for sharing the reserves the D600 sensor is able to capture.
Same image as above, it is still 10pm, but EV is pushed by +2 in CNX2 and ADL is at 70 & HQ. 1920x1080
Example two.
A bit more complex scene. I allways had a hassle to capture night shots with city lights during a pitch dark night.Either it was too dark but preserved the lights, or too bright for the lights but right for the surrounding. In this example, I wanted to preserve the street lights. Naturally, the environment around went even darker. Without pushing EV , only DL applied, some of the mountains surrounding the mountain village came back (the human eye could see them).
The original image, D600 & Zeiss 100mm/2
The same image, DL 80/HQ applied in CNX2, no further processing, 1920x1080
I am not arguing that the D600 is the only camera capable of doing so, or there is no way you can\'t do similar things with other cameras. It is just very simple with the D600.
