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.

Indeed - something that looks closer to what my eyes see, and less like a good CGI render.

I had wondered about that Photons to Photos chart anyway. When compared with the S5 Pro's contemporary, the D200, it doesn't show anything like the kind of difference I would expect to see, having used both. Quite apart from the color, astonishing things can be done with the S5 files - stuff that's absolutely impossible with the D200's.

If, as Serge 07 suggests, the test was performed using only half of the sensor data (the high sensitivity pixels) then surely it's meaningless and cannot be seen as anything other than a misunderstanding of the unique technology. Disappointing if that's really the case.
