Summary
Welcome to FRO RANTS where I share what's on my mind about a certain topic. This time i'm discussing the whole "dynamic range" issue people are saying the Canon 6D Mark II has.
It's really frustrating to listen to a bunch of people bitch about a camera they don't own, never have used, never touched a file from and may never ever see. They pile on based off of a few reports online that only give part of the picture and thing it's all fact.
I needed to get a few things off my chest and that's exactly what I do in this audio podcast.
You can watch the video I recorded editing RAW files from the Canon 6D Mark II right here https://youtu.be/1Po4Ct8B2Oo

| 0:00.0 | Jared Polin Frohnows Photo.com and welcome to what I call FroRance, where I take a look at something that is on my mind and kind of do a ranty McRanterson. |
| 0:14.3 | Now, I am putting this up on YouTube as audio only, so if you are on YouTube, please know that I do have an audio podcast |
| 0:21.4 | look for Frono's photo over wherever podcasts are available hit subscribe because |
| 0:26.9 | there's a bunch of different audio podcasts that I'm doing plus you don't |
| 0:29.9 | really need to see me in this video just to understand what I'm talking about |
| 0:33.7 | so yesterday when I'm recording this, I put out a video that says |
| 0:40.2 | the Canon 6D Mark 2 has terrible dynamic range performance, right? Question mark? And the reason I |
| 0:47.9 | put that out is because there's a lot of websites that came out right after the body started |
| 0:52.1 | getting tested and said that the dynamic range |
| 0:54.8 | isn't as good as a Canon ADD. And for all the people out there who just read headlines, |
| 1:00.3 | will think instantly that the 6D Mark 2 has terrible dynamic range and it's the worst camera ever |
| 1:06.7 | and cannons dropping the ball and Canon screwed up and Canon did this and Canon did that and they should have done this. |
| 1:13.5 | And it's not the case. |
| 1:16.3 | Now it's not the case when you look at the test that they did. |
| 1:19.6 | So the tests that they did, let's just clear it up exactly what they did. |
| 1:23.0 | And then I'll get into more of the Rantee McRantherson side. |
| 1:25.7 | They do their studio tests, which I think are bullshit |
| 1:28.3 | to begin with, and they find out that they say at 100 ISO that the 80D is better than |
| 1:35.8 | the 60D, sorry, the 6D mark 2, which is a full frame body at 100 ISO at base levels, in terms |
| 1:42.3 | of dynamic range, where they say that the 80D has 10 stops |
| 1:46.6 | of dynamic range and the 60 mark 2 has say 9. Now if anybody out there can tell the difference |
| 1:53.7 | between 10 stops and 9 stops, good for you, I highly doubt that it's possible. Now I'm not defending |
