Yeah, all Sonys with HLG were 8-bit until the BIONZ XR (A7S3, A7M4, etc). The only difference between the three was that two of them would apply negative exposure compensation prior to HLG ...

It's a concern ffor 8 bit (Rec 2020 is pushing the limits for 8-bit, gamuts like S-Log2 and similar ones are too wide for 8, although chroma quantization looks more like blotches in dark areas ...

Since the output of powerbanks like this is highly regulated (unless you use a special type of powerbank with D-tap outputs or something like that, but even then it might be generating that output ...

I disagree with the last statement, at least for Google's Night Sight and HDR+ pipelines, since AI only serves a role in: (1) Automatic white balance (2) Fast preview of their ...

:( Even if they were technically open, this is getting pretty late to book a good timeslot. We booked our August boat timeslot in...  March or April I think?

It's mostly incompatible with an AA filter for one, and nearly all non-R bodies have one.  (A7M4 is something where there's evidence pointing either way and no definitive answers from qualified ...

Diamond Beach is amazing IF the tides cooperate.  In 2021, it was absolutely amazing.  In 2023, a combination of tides and other weather led to it being completely empty. Since the big bergs near ...

Good luck with that on the southern coast - although winter will help here.  All of the moisture-carrying air comes from the south which is why Vik (southernmost tip of the island) is one of the ...

Not necessarily ANY camera - Google's MFSR white paper explicitly states that the camera used cannot have an AA filter. But all A7R-series cameras and the A7CR meet this requirement. Sometimes ...

This is blatantly FALSE and easily proven so by merely clicking on the link that I provided.  There have been commits made to the repository in 2023.

It sounds like you want a single camera that can handle both bright outdoor scenarios AND low-light indoor scenarios - because the scenarios where you want the A9III are NOT the ones you are ...

Every single issue that has been filed in https://github.com/frank26080115/alpha-fairy/issues has had an immediate response (within a day) by the developer, with the only exception being ...

One observation with the A7M3 - when it was released, it was kind of notorious for excessive NR that was not possible to fully disable when recording video. Also, both the A7S2 and A7M3 only record ...

Yeah.  I've never seen any evidence of anyone using more than 10-20 frames for a burst for a variety of reasons, including limits on just how much subject/camera motion you can handle before ...

I had a much longer response typed up, I could SWEAR I posted that response, but... I must not have actually clicked "post"... Yeah, I call shenanigans here. There's no way that mere burst stacking ...

DPR's comparison tool is notorious for artificially penalizing high-pixel-count cameras because it uses Adobe's rescaling function, which last I checked, does scaling in a gamma-compressed colorspace.

It's so close that it's within measurement error: https://www.photonstophotos.net/Charts/PDR.htm#Sony%20ILCE-6600,Sony%20ILCE-6700

Wow that thread is full of complete idiots. The OP of that thread IS imagining: https://www.photonstophotos.net/Charts/PDR.htm#Sony%20ILCE-6600,Sony%20ILCE-6700

Higher readout speeds are often a secondary benefit of BSI, and also handling off-axis rays, although that is more important for wide-angle lenses on FF sensors than on APS-C. As you have pointed ...

http://www.hdrplusdata.org/hdrplus.pdf - Section 3.  Although potentially leading a bit to confusion is that they talk both of the "native" underexposed image (which carries the same exposure as ...
