I have a question to pose - Why all the complaints about 5D\'s dynamic range?
YES - Sony/Nikon DR is better, that\'s a given.
But, currently an owner of D800 (and former A7), I rarely ran into that limitation with my 5D3 or 6D, and I rarely USE that ability with my D800.
Sometimes? Sure - I accidentally underexpose a shot by a ridiculous 5 stops and I\'m thinking \"hey, I wonder how good I can rescue this in Lightroom\", more as a technical exercise than trying to actually make a good shot.
Realistically, though? If the new 5D cameras can reach the shadow raising ability of the 6D (does this affect DR ratings?), I think shooters will be fine with it.
I\'m not trying to defend Canon\'s apparently lack of progress (or, slower-than-we\'d-want progress) in the DR area, but I have to really wonder if \"good enough\" has won the day in DR.
More is better, sure, but at least with the 6D (and mostly with the 5D3, though some yuckiness could show up in extremes), the DR seemed to be good enough -- maybe I\'m not as picky as I used to be?
Dynamic range is a huge factor for landscape shooters. Have you ever seen a file from a 5D III pulling out 3 stops out of the shadow/dark areas. Its not a pretty sight.
14+ stops DR makes a huge difference. I have pulled out 3 + stops from my D810 and the files are still very clean. It makes life so much better
