@panther fan: photon shot noise doesn’t enter the equation with the way that dynamic range is usually defined, i.e. with the lower bound being the noise floor (which is read noise). But it’s...

@River Photography: Eric Fossum (inventor of the CMOS sensor) is fine with the bucket analogy. ;) https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/66187989 “No problem with the bucket analogy. Sorry.”

A strange sport in which you carry a lot of glass, metal and plastic on your shoulder, and try to keep it aimed at other athletes.

@PAntunes: I second the question – where did you get 1/50s from? That’s what the first R6 was measured at (references below), and the Mark II is supposed to be faster (“Canon says rolling shutter...

Sorry, it would indeed appear that I did. But in any case, while those are the situations where aliasing would be the most obvious, in any situation in which...

On the contrary, that sounds precisely like the kind of situation where I would want it.

I see no reason for OLPFs to be more of...

My suspicion is that Canon cameras don’t have a pixel shift mode because the antialiasing filter means that you wouldn’t actually get much of an improvement.

I think I’m fine with that – I would...

You will note, though, that those who are empirically wrong happen to be those who are downplaying it. Poisoning the well , nice.

I would say that it is useful even within one format, for example when choosing which lens to use in low light: let’s say that I am using my Canon G1 X III (APS-C compact with fixed 15-45mm ...

A common talking point from equivalence deniers is to claim that proponents of equivalence are “obsessed about DOF”. The way I see it, it rather seems to be the deniers that are obsessed about ...

ISO is a property of the final image in the photographic world as well. ISO 12232:2019: The 2020 amendment , introducing ERS (what SOS was ostensibly meant to be):

(emphasis mine) I believe that there is. Imagine moderately fast horizontal panning across a frame that is white on the left and black on the right with a sharp divide between the two. If you look ...

As far as I can tell, what you are describing is also temporal aliasing. After all, a longer shutter speed tends to alleviate that issue as well, even though what it does is “smear” the signal ...

That is not correct. The pixels in an image file are samples, they do not have an intrinsic size (even if they were obtained by sampling from something that did). Knowing the size of the physical ...

Yes, and not only was it wrong (per the reply three hours before yours), but even if it wasn’t, it would still not be a “good reason” since it was compatible even without native support.

Well, if there are so many, why the need to make this one up?

@ZZT231 You’re just fishing for reasons. This is not a good one.

“You don't import images into PhotoLab, but rather keep your images in their original locations and point the software toward them. There aren't any catalogs.”

This is how I like to work. I...

Correct, they often use Rec. 2020 primaries but they don’t have to. In fact, even when encoded in Rec. 2020, HDR content is often restricted to the P3 gamut anyway as that’s what current mastering ...

Indeed, they are. Until recently (see below), ICC profiles were unable to signal the use of PQ or HLG, because the way that ICC color management fundamentally works assumes that output light scales ...
