This would be similar to looking at one region within a scene, letting our eyes adjust, and not looking anywhere else. In that case, most estimate that our eyes can see anywhere from 10-14 f-stops of dynamic range, which definitely surpasses most compact cameras (5-7 stops), but is surprisingly similar to that of digital SLR cameras (8-11 stops).&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>So a lot depends on lighting AND the camera used.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
