I see constantly people referring to how low the DR is what ends up to appear on paper or on screen. I don't doubt that. But the conclusion, each camera with more than 6-8 f-stops DR is unnecessary luxury - sorry, this is nearly painful to read, such a misleading conclusion.
Apparently tonemapping is something you know only by rumors? ^_^ I will add some pictures lateron, as normal and as tonemapped just by using highlight and shadow-recovery. Compressing 12 f-stops to 6 makes absolutely sense - HDR photographers using 3 or 4 shots for the same result very often end up with plasticky looking weird pictures whereas a well exposed frame with enough DR still appears natural. Therefore I welcome each sensor with at least 12 f-stops, better more. I don't need this regularly, but if I do, it's very often better than multi-exposure HDR.
