Interesting. I am beginning to think thatyou are seeing the true capability of the 14-bit sensor. Do you have some images from your own camera shot with HTP on? That should move both vertical bars 1EV to the right and give you -10EV (theoretical shadow DR) to +4.5EV.


Btw, it seems like Canon has the best cameras when it comes to highlight range. Turn on HTP and the 1Ds MIII will give you almost +5EV above middle gray. That is actually better than the (in)famous Fujifilm S5 Pro.


I still don´t understand the differences between the rendering of the histograms. Think I have to ask Chuck Westfall about that.
