How hard do you think it would be for someone to rip apart the 5DIV and put the flippy screen off his 70D on it? Desperate times call for desperate measures.
Just joking of course but it would be nice.
I hear you all on the evidence, excellent work btw cgarcia and thank you, but this just seems like too big of a kick in the nuts to me, even for Canon.
I'm going to cling to that 0.001% for the next few days before I decide what to do.
But ... this image is about as much of a torture test as you can possibly have. Personally, I'm not sure that this will be the kind of shooting that I'll be doing.
Also (I'll get blasted for this likely), the image is underexposed. By that, I mean look at the values for the white sections in the clouds. The Exif value of 1/6s @ f/11 equates to 5 stops below Sunny 16 (EV15), and sunset light is in the 12-13 EV range, so that puts the exposure (for the clouds illuminated by the sunset lighting condition) 1-2 stops under, and of course the shadow side of things is several stops below that for a combined underexposure of >5+ stops.
Optimal exposure for contending with DR that exceeds the range of ANY camera is always challenging ... and yes, you have to "choose your poison" with regard to highlights vs. shadows.
So, we currently have "one strike" (more like a foul tip) against the DR for an image that extensively exceeds the DR of all cameras. I'm looking forward to see what is the IQ of the image when we shoot WITHIN the DR of the camera.
For Dave ... I'm thinking Cataloochee ... you won't be shooting directly into the sun while capturing wildlife, etc.
What would be really interesting (which we don't have) would be to see the same image, shot same exif with 5D4 (or others) to see just how much real world diff there is between the 6D2 and the others. Unfortunately we don't have that (not yet anyway).
Imo, head to head with the 5D4 will be more telling as to what is being gained / lost, than the single standalone image ... i.e. still too early to tell.
