I stumbled across this just now, seems to me a valuable resource to share.

This is the chart of my current cameras compared with a Nikon D850

Interesting - I compared my 610 with your 850 :thumbs:

If I am reading that graph correctly there's no improvement in dynamic range at any given ISO between the 850 and 800?



So would I be right that the mystery green camera on this graph is the 'best' of this 3?

Can I remind people that these are lab tests done in a controlled environment so as such are not 'real world results'. 
They are probably indicators of what might be obtained on a good day with a following wind by the average user.

As I understand it these are technical attributes of the sensors and hence independent of "real world" effects.

Absolutely.

So you change lenses, get water in the atmosphere, change the lighting conditions and the result goes downward (and to the right)!

That's true for all cameras, so potentially the differences between the cameras profiles will remain the same?

I dont know but I would expect that the dynamic range at top/bottom end will be more effected.
I am no lens technician but atmospherics are a great leveller!

I am a novice in this field but are you two talking about dynamic range in the same way that the comparison is being made in?

The dynamic range of an image is, I think, different from the dynamic range of the sensor and while the former will be influenced by the lens etc, the latter won't -  see the article here - https://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/dynamic-range.htm.

Or am I up the wrong tree??? :lol:

Potential dynamic range of the sensor which ultimately gives you an image of good dynamic range.

I personally have always been hugely sceptical of DxO results as they are lab based results.  Having worked for many many years in a lab I know the difference between ..... it works, and it worked in the lab but I cant understand why it isnt the same here!
