First you gave up two full f-stops by exchanging D800 against EOS 6D and saying "artists don't need DR", now you're asking for highlight tone priority. What else is that than simulation of greater DR? 

HI Joju,

Just wanted to ask what this feature does and how useful it is...should i just ignore it.

With 'artists' i meant to say, photographers have always found a workaround for these small things.

My switch has nothing to do with DR. Which is a good thing for post processing. It was to do with other factors like usability, handling, lack of the lenses i need, missed shots due to unsure focussing...basically i was fighting with my camera all the time.

These things are much more important than DR to me.

Landscape shooters can bracket their shots...they have all the time in the world.

I am sure its good while shooting as you don't get blinkies that often, and good in post processing...some people do HDR stuff and i am sure they have a use for it. But in my experience i need to crunch the DR to get more contrast while printing or making final image...in 100% cases. You can't make flat pictures.

Yesterday 12 stops were great, today 14 stops are great. A7s is bringing more than 15 stops of DR.

Question is, what you do with that.
