me too ....

What I keep hearing many who claim that or this being the cam to have. I always had my doubt. Its not like film days where camera is just camera. We can load whatever film stock we choose. Today's digital platform is very much all in one, the camera is also the film stock, the darkroom, and in some case even the display or more ...

The key motto here is that delivering of image quality along all the more common shooting environment. So the figure really do not tell the whole story. So yes while the figure might said 12.5 stop of DR, what it do not said is how that DR drop between using base ISO vs using say ISO 400, 800 or how its real ISO. For that I do thank DxO cause their test result do allow me to dig into the data better and allow me to made some better info from the test.

Personally I try not to be too optimistic about it all, I would expect some evolutionary advance and improvement but I would not be expecting a major advance in capture quality. At least there is nothing that suggest of such. Its better to be conservative here.
