    Was checking the test results on DxO. Am wondering if I am missing something somewhere along the line. The dynamic range reported exceeds 14 stops. Was the number of bits in the analogue to digital converter increased from 14 for this body? If it wasn't I am very puzzled on how the test results can come back with a dynamic range greater than 14 bit data can possibly support. Looking through the information they provide they are not working with processed raw files that have been de-mosaiced when they are examining the data from the sensor.

    Rereading Daniel's post at the top of this thread one other item caught my eye. Lightroom does not support 5D3 raw files as of yet. The link near the start of the post is supposed to be a 5D3 raw file that was opened in LR4. How can that be possible?

    I don't mean to be critical of Daniel's thought process by any means, he clearly put a LOT of time and consideration into his decision. It is just a couple of little things that I see which I hope someone else might be able to explain for me.
