My understanding of dynamic range is that it is the number of EV that the brightest and the darkest areas may be apart at any given ISO settings for the sensor to be able to record the subject correctly without drowned out areas in the image. Are you perhaps referring to a superior recording range of the sensor sort of around the given exposure settings? You could easily find out by bracketing or deliverately over- and underexposing by the same amount the same shot in RAW on a D300 and a D700 and looking at the results in RAW and seeing how many stops of correction you can coerce out of each identical pair of RAWs. Other than that, I can't think of if and where such information would be buried in a spec sheet. happy hunting! cheers ecke btw hardly get a chance to look at all images sent around here but i do notice your good and consistently high output - nice going larry =) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
