Jimmy Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 https://www.dxomark.com/Reviews/Canon-EOS-5D-Mark-IV-Sensor-Review-Game-changer 13.6 stops DR.... Come on magic lantern, get the party started! What is interesting is the chart against the Nikon D810... It has 14.9 stops (amazing) but that is only for ISO50, at ISO150 they are equal (both 13.6 stops). From there on in, the Canon has the advantage. The A7R II is actually the best overall performer for DR. I think it is safe to say Canon have taken a big leap forward though... kaylee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flynn Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 It's about time given the pile of cash they've been sitting on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canon have always tried to spread DR more evenly over the ISO range rather than have a stand out figure at ISO50 or ISO100. Whether that is a good thing or bad thing is up to the users, but not really a financial choice. At ISO800, even the 5D III equals the DR of the D810. They just have a different way of doing things. Good to see the overall DR up though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liork Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Jimmy, it sounds like an excuse... usually you need the best DR in the low ISO values, as you shoot landscape with harsh sun for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the 1000s of wedding photographers. All shooting ISO50? I'd imagine they far outweigh landscape photographers who buy pro gear. Anyway, the topic is pretty much moot... 13.6 stops is great and they now have a legitimate horse in the DR race... It is up to the user to then decide how they want their DR spread.

Super Members Mattias Burling Posted September 15, 2016 Super Members Share Posted September 15, 2016 Most videographers I know want performance on high ISOs. At least 3200 with perfect performance. Personally Im on the other side, would love iso 25 and 50 in a BMPCC. BrorSvensson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikkor Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Good news because the nikons become useless (for my pixelpeeping taste) at iso 800 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Mason Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 You need to look at "Screen", not "Print", "Print" DR takes into account the SNR increase as a result of scaling down 30MP to roughly 8MP. At base ISO100, 5D IV has raw DR of 12.6EV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolf33d Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Someone knows explanation why only the D810 has a super DR 50 ISO mode and not any other Cameras even the A7R which uses same sensor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomekk Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Check out D750 vs 5D IV guys, D810 is quite a bit older. DR range wise, D750 is already ahead at low ISOs and a match at 800+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Calabros Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 a year old sensor with even 12mp more pixels with even higher speed read out, aka A7R2, has better performance than this, but Ok, its fine. 13 stop of usable DR is enough for %90 of situations.
