Interesting blog on digital cinema dynamic range

No news in there :)

There's only one thing that limits the dynamic range of a camera, and that's the noise floor level. Lower the noise, and you can get more contrast in. Simple. And 11 stops is bog-standard across the board of electronic cameras these days, it's only technology like Sony's HyperHAD that gives a leg up, and that's only between 0.5 and 1 stop.

I might as well say it now, because it will leak anyway: I have tested a RED for the BBC, and not been surprised :) The report (confidential) is with the BBC, and I think it'll be copied back to RED for comment.
