Re: Interesting Reference Data on Dynamic Range - 5dsr
By the way, the notion that testing files \"without any NR applied\" will produce more accurate comparisons sort of falls apart with at least one test case has applied NR in-camera.
My idea of a more useful real world test is to take the raw files and process them (for NR, sharpening, etc) in whatever ideal way you would if you were using the cameras, and then compare those results. That, after all, is how you would actually use the cameras, no matter which one your chose.
(My adjusted crop above — the much lighter one — was treated this way. I do show the version without NR or sharpening at the link, but I think the one shown here is the more useful one to consider.)
I saw some very high ISO examples from the A7rII posted in the Sony forum, and they did look quite good. As we would expect, there is noise and the DR is compressed — but considering the ISO setting the test images looked quite good and were certainly usable.
