Title: IQ180 vs K5 DR
Post by: marcmccalmont on July 10, 2011, 03:30:11 am

One of my concerns investing in an IQ180 was it's dynamic range, My K5's DR is addicting, more than my 5DII and my P45+
So this was a quick test just to make me feel good about the IQ180
2 shots daylight, at base ISO, looking at the RAW histograms in C1 they are very close (IQ180 0-251, K5 0-255) within the error ETTRing correctly
I'll be interested in DxO Marks more precise evaluation

Hi,

You wouldn't consider making "RAWs" available for download?

What´s your take on IQ180 this far? 

Best regards
Erik
