    Is there in best case near 100 iso an dynamic range under 14 steps only? Thats not very impressive for that hyped sensor!

      That’s pretty impressive for a 42 MP sensor, at least to me. Add 1.2 stops to get it to DxO’s 8 MP standard resolution.

    I always thought, at 50 ISO, you would waste about 1 EV of DR… seems like you don’t lose any DR at all?
