Nick Paton, ASC did a test comparing the latitude of the Canon 7D to the Arri Alexa. Obviously a 80,000 camera that shoots RAW will have a much greater latitude than a DSLR, but it’s still nice to see where the Canon 7D holds it’s own and where it falls apart.
Latitude Test: Arri Alexa vs. Canon 7D
very useful comparison. thanks a lot for the test. it saved me lot of time n money.
What might be more useful is to have a ‘real world’ scene for both under and over exposure tests with more than a 7 stop range. For the ‘over’ exposed comparison, expose for important highlite detail on both cameras.
