Expert testing shows that the Panasonic Lumix GH7 camera delivers significantly improved dynamic range performance at low ISOs compared to its predecessor, which is excellent news for Micro Four Thirds enthusiasts.
The Nikon Z6 III is an incredible camera with some novel features and pro-level performance. Among these new features is a "partially stacked" image sensor, which Nikon describes as the first of its kind. Early lab testing suggests that while this sensor may offer many benefits, it also incurs a dynamic range cost compared to the Z6 II.
Electronic shutters no longer harm peak dynamic range performance in the way they once did, at least not with modern image sensor architecture. It's time to change course on an earlier story and see where I went wrong.
William "Bill" Claff of Photons to Photos recently added numerous cameras to his fantastic and vast library of photographic dynamic range tests, including the Panasonic Lumix G9 II.
According to data on Photons to Photos, while the Panasonic GH5 Mark II uses the same sensor as the previous GH5, the company has somehow managed to squeeze even more dynamic range out of it and notably surpassing the original GH5.
Photonstophotos has published its dynamic range test results for the new Canon EOS R and Nikon Z7 full-frame mirrorless cameras. The numbers show that both Canon and Nikon trail the performance of Sony's cameras.
Photons to Photos has updated its Photographic Dynamic Range versus ISO Setting test database with results from the new Sony a9, and it found that the a9 holds its own against the flagship Nikon D5 and Canon 1D X Mark II DSLRs.
