According to my measurements, the camera can distinguish detail over an intensity range of about 50:1 which is almost 6 stops. My measurements are described here. I understand that professional video cameras are about 1 stop better, and the cutting-edge HDTV cameras can hold 11 stops, which rivals film in exposure latitude.
