Dragon Dynamic Range

Recommended Posts

How does the dynamic range hold up on the Dragon in comparison to the Mysterium-X?

 

For example, say you're shooting at an ISO of 800, how do the highlights and shadows hold up in comparison to the Mysterium-X? This is a rather specific example but this is the type of insight I'm looking for.

Some people say 1.5 stops more DR, some say 3 stops more DR...

Keep in mind that Ryan Walter's test was made with the Skin Tone OLPF, which reduces the sensitivity of the camera, so his tests did not see an improvement in shadow detail but probably would have if he shifted his base ISO lower and lost some high end detail.
