Re: low iso DR

Heading out to work soon but will try tonight. Thoughts on best way to do this? Bright/dark scene with 2 different cameras, same exposure?

Here's a shot taken tonight, a RAW file converted to a tiff in Silkypics, processed in LR4.1 and uploaded to the web.

Seems ok, not much noise and plenty of detail and colour retention.

G5, ISO3200, 12-35 lens @12mm, 1/50, f6.3

It's not the card that has a limited write endurance, but the flash gates themselves (one flash gate = 1 bit); whether 100 million or 1000 million are written in one go has no bearing on their lifespan. (Reads have no impact.)

(In fact, gates are written in blocks or pages, not individually--but the point stands.)

All this blah, blah, blah and not a single photo of the camera itself? I am disappoint!

The electronic shutter is nice, totally quiet (pretty much) but you can't use the flash with it and ISO is limited to 1600. The standard shutter has a nice sound to it anyway, less harsh than the G3 one.
I like the re-positioning of the AF/AE / Fn1 button, makes the focus lock/ Exposure lock operation much easier.
The thumbwheel is now plastic, not rubberised like the G3 and can be easily pushed by mistake causing it's operation to switch modes, isn't quite as accessible as the G3 one.
The screen is nice, has higher resolution than the G3 and you gave view finer detail when zooming in.
Overall the camera seems fine, nice progression from the G3 but still retains the G3 familiararity so not hard to get up to speed with it.

A flash gate is the smallest storage unit (1 bit) in a flash memory card. In a 16GB card, there are 128 million of them.
