>>4213382>>4213382Once again: DR scores from DxO are based entirely on low ISO extreme recovery. High ISO recovery is bound by shot noise with only small differences between sensors. Pic related is the worst sensor vs. one of the best, according to DxO and PtP, and they are converged by ISO 1200. In fact, by ISO 12800 the RP is actually slightly better. Neither one can handle deep recovery at high ISO, no camera can. At high ISO you have a little bit of shadow recovery and that's that.
The RP is not the camera to own if you're shooting ISO 100 sunset landscapes, sun in frame, hoping to hold the full DR in a single frame. (If you're going to blend frames it doesn't matter.) It's also not the camera for 4k video (heavy crop, no AF). It's absolutely fine at high ISO and for pretty much everything else. Snarky replies about "hurr you must not take many photos" do not change the facts.
This is why I hate the industry (DPReview, PtP, DxO) push for "dr dr dr." The shadow recovery they are hyper focused on matters in three scenarios:
- single frame, sun-in-frame landscapes where the sun is not attenuated much by the atmosphere.
- interior real estate.
- gross under exposure errors, which is not likely to happen with modern AE or with any mirrorless due to EVF exposure preview.
And even in those scenarios you have to be shooting RAW, ETTR exposure, or you've thrown the advantage in the trash. The 6D2 / RP are not bad cameras at all for their price points.
