No. The tested specs are fact. The S5 was long ago surpassed in DR. Your eyes are simply covered with rose coloured glasses.

Dav, life is not about DR, it is about authenticity.

Hey, fPrime:

Hope all is great in your neck of the woods.

I recall the above S5 Pro DR chart being discussed way back in the forum. It was confirmed that the S5 test results where based solely on the DR100 factory default setting which makes little use of the Super CCD R pixels. The graph should have included the DR400 measurements which would have been far more informative & representative of the S5's extended dynamic range.

DPR tested S5 Pro dynamic range at nearly 12 stops for JPEG with a smooth roll-off in both shadows & highlights. Not too shabby even by modern standards plus no harsh ugly highlight clipping.

For anyone interested, DP Review's S5 Pro dynamic range measurements and comments:

The darn camera just produces beautiful colors with ease.

Regards,

Serge
