The best DSLR ever! in terms of Dynamic range.

In this video i test out the dynamic range of the NIkon D700 a 12mp full frame dslr and compare it with the Fuji S5Pro a 5 year old end of the line dslr that has never been updated or replaced.
If you dont know about the fuji you will be impressed by what information it is able to capture in high dynamic range conditions

Due to the different sensor sizes there's no point in using the same settings.

@voddybull what has sensor size got to do with the settings? apart from the lense field of view?

[voddybull]

@Dombowerphoto A bigger sensor is able to capture more light, on a bigger sensor you have bigger pixels which capture more photons per mm². Basically, what this means is with a full frame sensor your pictures are usually about twice as bright compared to a 1.6 cropped sensor (as in Canon 5D Mark 2 compared to a 550D for example). That's the reason why the sky totally burns out on the D700 picture.

For a reasonable comparison I'd suggest to get about the same level of brightness in both pictures.

[Dombowerphoto]

@voddybull em no it doesnt. otherwise having one exposure setting on one camera would have no relation to an other camera.

for example

f8 1/250th iso 100 will (should) give the same image exposure no matter what the camera or sensor.

Fuji actually did update the S5 Pro, its called the IS PRO, but it was never realized to the general public

[Dombowerphoto]

@TheIamfrustrated that was just an infra red version. Not really an upgrade just a different.

Hmm, looking at the first comparison at 2 minutes, it looks like the Nikon image is a tad over exposed. Even if you use the same settings for both cameras, it doesn't mean that it is the "right" setting for both. You might have to alter the settings on one to get the exposure correct.

I'm not a Nikon advocate (not a Canon advocate either), but if the Nikon's image is over exposed, it will be at a disadvantage.

Although, I do suspect the outcome would be the same, just not as pronounced.

@w0ble show me an example

[crazyasspusshole]

@voddybull actually, let's say u use third party lens on both DX and FX cameras.

in this case, RESULT WILL BE SAME. why? because it's THE LENS who let's the light to the sensor!

[smoothbokeh]

I think it would also be worth pointing out that you would most definately obtain even better results from the s5 pro by using Fuji`s own Hyper Utility HS-V3 raw converting software specifically develope for the s5 pro. It is a well know fact that 3rd party raw converters don`t do as good a job with Fuji`s unique sensor as it just is`nt designed in the same way as a so called "normal" sensor. Most people don`t use it as it cost about £70 but would give you optimum results. Good review though

[BankOfCongoRepublic]

respect!

[druf2000]

Give it a try against a D7000 if you want to shoot at ISO 100.

[druf2000]

@Dombowerphoto The D700 is being shot at an out of spec ISO (The D700 starts at ISO 200).  I think that is unfair. Also, the D700 is obviously over exposed. Why not shoot the D700 at a correct exposure and set the Fuji to match it?

[TheIamfrustrated]

@Dombowerphoto It did UV as well. I'm kinda wanting one though. anywho, maybe fuji should get back into the SLR game
