All I know is…after last night I can barely see straight. Ironic ain’t it?
It will save you money, think about it. 🙂 In that situation any camera is better than the “naked eye.” 😀
Okay, maybe that joke is too obscure.
With a reasonably fast lens, even m43 beats human eye by a high margin. After all, fovea we use for sharp vision is a very tiny sensor, with just f/2.2 lens.
I don’t know, I’ve enjoyed working with gh4s but they’re terrible at low light.
And yet, look in the viewfinder in a dark room, and you see much better than with a naked eye.
I don’t think so, with half frame it’s still only better after I make a somewhat long exposure, with a very fast lens.
No exposure, just look in the EVF.
I guess the question here is, short of somebody being able to plug a computer into the back of a human eye, how was that “human view” calibrated? There is considerable variability among humans, not least as we age we lose a lot of our night time vision. Further, humans lose the ability to distinguish colour as illumination levels fall away.
It’s not to say that it isn’t true that an A7s II will “see” more in the dark then we do (as do a lot of animals), just that some information would be useful on how human vision was modelled would be a useful addition, even if it’s just the video maker adjusting the output to what he was able to perceive.
I guess with live view you can set the ISO to mimic what the human eye can see and that would be the baseline for human eye.
I think SteveGJ’s point is that the baseline is different for every person and night vision decays as we age. One thing is for sure, camera sensors have surpassed the sensitivity of the human eye.
Just in low light. In Dynamic Range the human eye brain combo is able to see at least 3 stops of light where as the current best is around 14. And a good pair of 20/20 could resolve around 200mp.
And then we compare the A7Sii to the human eye when it comes to following the golf ball I’ve just hit… What ball?… With my accuracy, it’s just as well my eyes are better than the camera!
Witchcraft !
Looks brighter, not better.
this video is boring. since 2014 we all know, what 7s is able to. also, that the old model is better.
Any rumors on the release date of the Human Eye MkII ?
And whether it’ll be an A-mount, E-mount or a new mount? Maybe a new I-Mount (Yeah, I’m so punny!)?
Well there’s the problem of normalizing shutter speed…
