Re: Real world implication of t5i's dynamic range?

Bitrate got cut in half on the video side of the house and audio went from lossless to lossy compression.

Colors shifted to more sony-esque with blue/green dominance which even DPR noted in their reviews except they call it "more cool" I believe, IE they coughed it up to shift in color temp, it's more than that, it's a shift in colors themselves except away from traditional Canon colors which are renowned. Many of us pro folks are less than happy to say the least about that. Most folks post it out, but it is VERY difficult to match the traditional canon color gamut in post, VERY. Closest thing I could come up with was that modified Nikon picture profile if you search through my posts you'll see my rants on the subject.

These are all real-world impact btw when your colors on you shots are dull or your video's audio fidelity sounds not-so-awesome or your color take a hit in video because the bitrate can't support it, etc etc.

Dynamic range on the other hand mainly impacts you if you love to squeeze every ounce out of photoshop, or if you don't have enough of it to begin with (like the PowerShot G1 X II which was abysmal and did result in blown out skies, etc). I immediately ran to the EOS M (original) which uses the same sensor as the T5i and my DR problem was solved instantly. DR is more like memory to a computer, if you have enough you're good. If you don't have enough, everything bogs down. Having too much / more than enough, doesn't help.
