Doesn't the perception of motion cadence result from a combination of factors including compression, camera movement, contrast, lighting, shutter technology, shutter angle, foreground/background action and on and on.

I'll add to the list: pulldowns and artifacts from watching a 24 or 23.976 fps file on a 60hz monitor.

If we bundle those factors as "motion cadence," I think we all agree that they are verifiable, measurable differences. However, many of them are produced by the scene and compression, not the camera itself. Comparing motion cadence based on compressed files streaming over the internet might not work so well, I think.

Neat find! I compared these settings:

A. RGB sliders at 1.00, ISO 1600

B. RGB sliders at 1.99, ISO 800

My initial observation was that B has more noise, and more detail in the highlights. Upon further observation, it appears that B is actually significantly sharper than A, which contributes to the perception of more noise. I do not believe there is any reduction in noise, nor any benefit for low light performance; however overall detail and highlight clipping is improved.

These observations go for both Gamma DR and Normal.

And I confirm that setting the RGB sliders lower than 1.00 simply moves the clipping point and does not grant any advantages.
