This is a really interesting read and woke me up to something I guess I had been assuming for years....... Figured some might find it interesting (prob not the creative only don't tell me about hardware types though :-) ).

Good discussion. Perhaps a little esoteric for many non-technical folks, but pretty well explained. One of the really important, and counter-intuitive points he makes is that if you increase the dynamic range of a sensor (by adding electron capacity) the native ISO of the sensor goes *down.* Makes sense once you think about it; bigger capacity, takes longer exposure to saturate at a given condition, so lower native ISO.

Scary ...

The ISO standard for in-camera light metering and auto-exposure, ISO 2721:1982, hasn't changed in thirty years. It's still applicable to modern DSLRs. But... in the case of multi-zone metering systems like matrix metering and evaluative metering, the standard essentially becomes "whatever looks good."
So there we are: the metering and auto-exposure may be based on whatever the manufacturer thinks looks good, the sensitivity is based on whatever the manufacturer thinks looks good, and furthermore the in-camera JPEG conversion is based on whatever the manufacturer thinks looks good ... |
