Given the choice I'd rather work with a camera with a slightly higher base sensitivity and wider exposure latitude. The tradoff between having to simply use ND filters on a wider latitude camera to obtain slower shutter speeds for a given scene or alternately suffer clipped highlights/muddy shadows or having to employ HDR processes to obtain the same effective DR in a lower DR camera with the preferable base ISO is a no-brainer for me. -- Rob Studdert (Digital Image Studio) Tel: +61-418-166-870 UTC +10 Hours Gmail, eBay, Skype, Twitter, Facebook, Picasa: distudio -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
