Standard Mode AFS 17-35, F8, ISO 200 at 400% DR
Standard Mode, AFS 17-35, F8, ISO 200 at 100% DR
400% is really nice.
S5Pro unedited, un-enhanced, un-PP photos for technical discussion.

On the contrary, I feel that the 100%DR shot by Triodeman actually shows what can go wrong. It gives the impression that because the extended DR capability of the camera isn't used, you get blown-out clouds? Please, I've seen folks with D70 can do better.
My point is - get your basics right. It isn't just the camera. No doubt the S5 Pro makes it a lot easier to get great pics. But metering, exposure, blah blah blah, they are still necessary. In this case it is a PLBV. Sorry, Triodeman, but that's what it is.

Actually i shot this RAW with 400% DR using matirx metering system without any compensation as this lens tends to give a little -2/3 stop under-exposed.
Of-course you can still play around with the exposure to get what you want (cloud details or tables and chairs under shade), or you can even balance that a bit to try to get both details in. Surely, the exposure/contrast etc. on the camera can be adjusted to show good cloud details at 100% DR (I have tried that before on other shots), but the table and chairs under shade will probably not as clear.
The point I was making here is just to show the DR capability of S5Pro and not so much into showing the optimum exposure for the shot.
Perhaps the S5Pro in this regard is little more forgiving.
But of course you are a more experience S5Pro user than me ...

Hi,
Took this from yangshuo, china last week. converted from ACR 4.1. unedited
The S5 pro, like the D70, tends to underexpose, sometimes by 1 stop. Though not as bad as the D70.
Another thing i noticed, the histogram feedback shape from the S5pro is quite different from the histogram in adobe CS3. Many photos looks ok based on the histogram on the camera but is slightly underexposed when viewed in my laptop. Anyone experienced this?

After viewing through all the luvly pics here... yes, I agree it's PLBV... but man...
I must save up $$$ for the S5Pro
tempt u a bit more then.. so far, all the pics from s5 are outdoors. this is my most recent studio shoot. shot with a 35-70/2.8 in F1 mode, CCD-RAW converted to JPG in LR. added a border in CS3. dats abt it. almost as straight from the camera as u can get.... now, if only adobe can create an in-cam software to do this... :devil:
yy - once in a while, u might get lucky and see a s5pro on sale in buy/sell. tho, i would suggest u still keep ur current nikon, for some situations where a little more speed is required.

Great shot you got there, sir!
Thanks for the attachment and advice. Appreciate.
Yes, even when I'm ready for the s5, I'll still keep the D70S; been serving me well.

I've noticed that it tends to underexpose when using bounce on SB800. Thus I key in +1
on SB800. But then when I use a diffuser with the +1, it overexposes...
Without using flash, I think the exposue is spot on. I usually use spot or centre weighted.
