can someone help me by providing the dynamic range of exposure for t3i. (dynami range - Lowest and highest exposure range in terms of f-stops for a given scene)

See: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos600d/12

Their testing seems to indicate that it's about 5 stops below and 3&1/3rd stops to 4&1/3rd stops above (depending on if highlight tone priority was swtiched on.)

I think those were JPEG tests (I didn't see any indication of RAW and they usually go out of their way to let you know when they're doing RAW.) There is substantially more bit depth in RAW so it's likely to do a bit better if you shoot RAW.

If you're shooitng anything where you are worried about dynamic range then you should probably be shooting RAW anyway.

But it would be the wrong topic in a board that many of us probably wouldn't read.

Not that it matters, but I guess it was not clear. I am assuming that the drive by poster would have posted in the exact same place, he just went for any ol' post that mentioned dymanic range, whithout regard to relevance. In fact, I suspect that this post actually belongs down in the EOS Cinema topic, where it is relevant.

Thanks for the reply.
I use RAW all the time.

My question was related to knowing the dynamic range , in terms of f-stops , for T3i so that i can use this in conjunction with exposure compensation and expose to the right to get optimal exposure for a specific scene.
