Oh dear, what have I started here? If you too can't grasp the principle that photons are converted to electrons proportionate to the intensity of light, then what can I say? Obviously the number of electrons there will determine just how many f-stops of light (also proportional) can be recorded. > Even 1 bit sampling would have the same dynamic range - that > is black or white, on or off. Yes, but it couldn't record any intermediate tones and that is what we're talking about - how many f-stops of our SUBJECT data we can capture.
