Re: Dynamic range in video

Just like stills final range is a function of the output device. IIRC Rec 709 is pretty tight at six stops?

That means if you aren't recording at least log you're in a pretty tight place to begin with.  Log can get you twice that. So can RAW.

The other issue is things are often related to the generation of each sensor. That means the best small sensor today might be better than the best large sensor of ten years ago. In spite of the size advantage.
