Supposedly next week we'll get the 1Dx II.

As for dynamic range, this is from Wikipedia:

Device Stops Contrast
LCD 9.5 700:1 (250:1 – 1750:1)
Negative film (Kodak VISION3) 13[46] 8000:1
Human eye 10–14[47] 1000:1 – 15000:1
High-end DSLR camera (Nikon D810) 14.8[48] 28500:1

BTW...reference 48 is DXO.

This is consistent with what I've seen over the years. We are already at or even exceeding what the human eye sees. We are also far exceeding our typical outputs. Last time I looked, most jpegs were 8-bit, so limited to 8 stops DR. I understand that there are higher bit jpegs (I've heard of 12 bit), but those are not commonly used (unless something has changed). Then our monitors are 9.5 stops according to Wikipedia. HDR monitors exist, but are currently very expensive. I am not sure about printing. From what I know and can find, DR in cameras is not the limiting factor right now. So the only real benefit to more DR in cameras is the ability to pull details from outside 8-9.5 stops so that they can be presented in the chosen output's range. So, pull deep shadows to be brighter. Make something look illuminated when it wasn't. Sure, I am interested in that, but how many stops do I want to pull from..before it looks unnatural? As I said above, I'd like less noise in shadows/blacks, or even highlights. A couple stops might help prevent me from blowing out egrets.

This is why I have trouble desiring more DR or listening to those that are pounding the Sonykon drum.
