Isn't Jpeg more than just 8 stops? According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG it can record approximately 11 stops.

Big name brands such as Adobe Premiere (not sure about Elements), Avid or Sony Vegas will allow you to slow down or speed up video across a range of speeds. My Ulead Videostudio V9.0 (Now Corel...

All along I've been saying the ISO6400 shot wasn't given a fair chance.  You don't go blowing highlights in raw and then cry out there's no highlight detail.  The ISO6400 shot was doomed to fail....

You do realise that the poster applied highlight compression/recovery to the ISO100 to bring the highlights back down.  If he simply just pushed the ISO100 6 stops the highlights would be blown...

Put it this way, did the poster do all he possibly can to preserve highlights when using high ISO?  If he did not then I don't know why he's complaining about lost highlight detail.  When it comes...

I was only referring to the highlights in the windows and verandah which are really only slightly clipped.  No point in saving highlights in the light bulbs since there's really no detail of...

I'm afraid you are still missing the point.  If you're testing ISO6400 performance and finding that highlights are clipping then of course you have to reduce exposure. Most, if not all DSLRs will...

You're missing the point here guys.  The purpose of these shots was to compare the performance of ISO6400 with ISO100 pushed, it was not about obtaining best image quality.  You can't properly...

I would say the ISO6400 has been disadvantaged here.  The highlight areas of the verandah are already blown at this exposure.  He should have reduced the exposure until those highlights weren't...

With the latest sensors, some have been proclaiming it's better to shoot at base ISO and increase brightness in post rather than increase ISO in camera. I would like to see some examples of this. ...

Isn't signal gain how the different ISOs are simulated in camera?  And how can you be sure that the gain wasn't done electronically?

What if I don't want to open up to F4?  Either because the DOF is too shallow or the lens is too soft at F4.  How do I get the same brightness?

Don't all three have the same exposure (at coding stage)?  It's only an illustration so I don't expect it to be mathematically perfect.  In simple terms, smaller triangle-less exposure.  Larger...

I prefer this exposure triangle: Aperture, shutter and ISO are sides of the triangle (not points) which can expand and retract to produce a larger or smaller surface area which represents the...

Therefore ISO (or gain in video terms) still has its part in determining the final brightness/exposure. Which means that even if I alter the shutter or aperture parameters, I can still obtain the...

So wouldn't you get the same 'brightness' by using the exact same ISO in camera that you used in post? From what I see, for any given shutter and aperture combination, you require an appropriate...

Your friend claims that there was color noise reduction of 25. Are these 100% crops or small, resized jpegs?  100% crops would be most favourable for comparing the noise.  Your examples also seem...

Thanks.  You confirmed my suspicions.

Without NR applied please.

Select the PhaseOne and have a look at the woven textile threads in the mottled blue fabric. You won't see the textile threads with any other camera.
