Dynamic Range Really isn't as important as you are lead to believe.

It is going to be hard to go from slightly more than 12 stops to more than 14 stops in a 14 bit or less file.

I never said that a dynamic range improvement in the sensor is a bad thing. It is good when the old camera would clip and the new one would not. Since there has been about 1 stop difference between generations that really isn't as big a deal as the camera manufactures have lead us to believe.

I never said anything about megapixels. I would much rather them give me a 9 megapixel GH3 than an 18 megapixel GH3 with 1 extra stop of Dynamic range.

I simply contend that the difference between dynamic range of each generation of camera is not as useful as everyone thinks. It is very rare that a camera like the GH3 would save your image completely over a GH2 if dynamic range is the only issue.
