“One of the things I like about the CMOS chip, and this chip in particular, is the long dynamic range. Leaf has always been known for its film like color, which I agree is true. And what I’m finding is that I can shoot a very contrasty situation and be able to hold details, shadows and sunlight. Aerials I’m always shooting in low light. For me having a Credo 50 would be fantastic; it’s great for that work. I mean, there’s no noise. It’s awesome! You’re shooting at ISO 3200 and there’s so little noise. And from a chip that’s so much bigger than a DSLR. For me, the idea that I can shoot ISO 6400 with medium format and have very little noise…it’s just fantastic. That’s a great benefit to me.” – Cameron Davidson
