It is simpe - you're presenting a normalized figure. DxOMark "Print" figure is normalized to 8Mp equivalent, thus if the sensor has more pixels, the normalized DR will be higher. If you use the...

At the base ISO it has lower DR than the modern NEX cameras, though not by too much, but likely more than pretty much any Canon, especially considering the pattern noise of the them.

I just converted a X-Pro1 file with dcraw document mode and had a look with imageJ and indeed the encoding is linear, thus the upper limit for the DR is defined by the bit depth to 12 stops.

Measuring DR provides objective results regardless of wether one measures pixel or the whole image. Only when one sets a subjective threshold the result becomes subjective unless the threshold is...

The compression which could be used would not change file sized. It is non-linear encoding where some levels are simply discarded as due to photon shot noise it is not necessary to encode them.

http://www.fujifilm.com/products/digital_cameras/x/fujifilm_x_pro1/features/ The sensor has clear EXMOR look (look at the wiring). Sony doesn't have enough foundry capacity for their own sensors,...

Be careful now, as your post is turning toward ad-hominem attack as you call others fools. Surely we want this useless thread to go to full 150 messages before out masters in the cencorship remove...

Reading your post from a great distance, like 10 meters is easily bearable. Now I try to read from my minimum focusing distance (15 cm with glasses) and it is so bright is just burns the cells in...

The sensitivity of the sensor is not tuned to any ISOs - ISO is an output format standard, not sensor standard. Also not all the users of the same sensor use it with the same parameters - different...

But isn't there a problem that we all have different standards, thus if we measure DR using some arbitrary undefined noise floor we lose objectivity. An additional issue is that as the noise floor...

Sure they do. If the bit depth is not large enough, it limits the DR. For example if you had a sensor of 50ke FWC and 5e read noise, the large DR would be lost if the RAW file was for example 8-bit...

It is only party circular. Even if such a prime available, it would not sell anywhere near the volumes of 150-500 even if it were a third cheaper. A good example is Canon's 200/2.8 prime - it's a...

The sensor is a Sony EXMOR sensor because Fuji images of the sensor have the clear features of this particular sensor design. Images of the sensors are googlable. I didn't say it's been measured...

A picture lies more than 1000 words ;) (I feel I have to emphasize that this is a joke, not meant to be taken literarry, thus the wink ;)). What the JPG engine gets out of the sensor has quite...

DPR doesn't measure DR of the sensor, but DR achieved by using some arbitrary tone curves. It may be of use for JPG-shooters, but for RAW shooters it is quite useless test. The DR of the sensor -...

The sensor is either the same or a sibling of the other Sony EXMOR sensors, thus the dynamic range is bound to be similar with the caveat of possibly having higher gain mimumum ISO (as it's nominal...

Relatively limited markert for such items - by far most consumers prefer a zoom to prime. Because of the low volume the production costs would go up limiting the number of potential customers even...

If the full well capcity and read noise scale perfectly with pixel size, then this is indeed the case. To spend foolishly some of the excess time I seem to have I created a small graph which shows...

Actually the technical meat in the article is incorrect and may cause issues for some photographers. He writes about ISO being an exposure parameter which it is not.He claims for example that:...

You should not read it. It explaing exposure incorrectly, thus is bad advice.
