In technical discussions, I don't care much about CV. I care about facts. And the facts are that the high ISO DR (as measured/normalized/reported by dxomark) has a direct and usable correlation to ...

Yes, I did. And all the information you provided there, I already knew and agree to, with two exceptions: 1. I do not share your conclusion based on that information, and I have explained why: ...

I very much disagree. DR at high ISO is not meaningless. If you have a given amount of light available, and that amount is only adequate for a shot at ISO 25600 with no clipped highlights, then the ...

Look at dxomark.com's measurements of DR: Out of your 4 cameras, the Nikon D810 has the lowest DR at ISO 25600. And your comparison shows that the D810 also has most visible shadow noise at ISO 25600.

Know. "Right" is quiet write, eye think.

...and... Of all people, I would never have thought I would see this coming from a Fuji user. Several Fuji users have learned the hard way that DNG caused their photos to be less future-proof. That ...

You miss the point: We know the resultant exposure settings of both cameras. The OP told us.

f/5.6 is 3 stops wider than f/16.

You have already stated the shutter speed, f-stop and ISO which was used. Metering doesn't matter then.

I may be missing the obvious here. I guess we would all expect the camera's processor to be heavily occupied right after taking a photo. A lot of data has to be moved, one or two JPEG's have to be ...

You should hook up with Greenpeace and sneak some slanted edges into the banners that they sometimes install on buildings without asking the owner.

As far as I know, Sony's eye-start did something entirely different from what you are describing:
When it felt that the eye was coming near to the viewfinder, it started focusing continuously in...
