Dynamic Range is tricky to measure. And everyone seems to use a different method. At the end of the day, what matters is what the image looks like. Is there information in the highlights and in the shadows? How much resolution is there? Does the image "feel" right? Does the image seem "over-sharpened"? How far can you push the exposure and maintain a clean image? How is the color fidelity? The net result of all of these questions gives a more accurate description of image quality.

I wouldn't get hung up on absolute dynamic range numbers any more than I would worry if 4k bayer is really 4k. Some companies sacrifice the total image quality to score higher on some specific test.

We have just posted a test from ISO 8000. I'm not sure any other company has been brave enough to do that. That is 5 stops under-exposed. Tomorrow we shoot for 6... ISO 16000. In any event, we are very proud of the resolution, color, feel and elasticity of our image. And remember, we record to Compact Flash.

Push it till it breaks. Its the only way you'll know for sure. Thanks for the updates.

Waiting with baited breath.

I think solid state is definitely the future and I'm glad to see you're keeping with the ideals of the modular design.
 
Hey Jim, how about you stop talking about ISO and Dynamic range, and start shooting some 1080p stuff we can see. If you need someone to carry the tripod... im your man. :)

BYW, you didn't like my idea of hiring John Toll to shoot some African lions and bikini babes in Cabo?? :)
 
just when i bought a light meter ( last hr ebay ) that goes to iso 8000 ...
 
I'm not at all sure what will happen tomorrow at ISO 16000, but it sure will be interesting to find out. I am sure we are in unchartered waters.

If you take it to 32,000, I wholly expect the camera to either reach critical mass or implode upon itself to form a black hole.

So - you know - be careful...
 
I'm too tired tonight to think of words for this. I had to do a double-take when I read "16000".

Push it, pull it, bend it until it breaks. This is insane.
 
Even if 16,000 turns out not to be reasonable, I can't wait to try it all for myself in downtown Los Angeles.

Lots of big news. This has been an exciting day.
