Dpreview: “Pentax K-1’s Pixel Shift challenges medium-format dynamic range”



Today Dpreview published an interesting article called “Pentax K-1’s Pixel Shift challenges medium-format dynamic range“:

“In conclusion, the K-1 gives one of the best Raw dynamic range results we’ve ever seen, when shooting in single shot mode and absolutely outstanding results in circumstances where you can use the pixel shift mode. The multiple sampling of the same scene effectively gives a 2EV dynamic range boost, meaning it out-performs both the D810 and the 645Z by a comfortable margin. Less noise (though multiple captures) and multiple 14-bit values at every pixel mean it can give outstanding levels of DR for static scenes where you can use the Pixel Shift mode.”
