From previous work, I know that Sony does spatial filtering at high ISOs on some of their a7x cameras, with… [Read More]

In the preceding post, I pushed images made as ISO 3200 and compared them to those made at higher in-camera ISOs with the same exposure, and found that increasing in-camera ISO helped. Now I’m going to repeat that test… [Read More]

I’ll get back to it with some high-ISO pictures, but first I want to talk about the D5’s photographic dynamic range (PDR). We’ve already looked at the D5’s engineering dynamic range (EDR),… [Read More]
