    It’s a cool use case but I wasn’t willing to sign up or pay to test it. Still, the free version should do a pretty good job, I figured.

    Good idea to try the same inquiry but on AI.

    All the results basically suggested both cameras for the same reasons. “Buy this if you want a professional camera with excellent resolution... bla h blah.” Literally just saying the same thing about both models.

    I asked a follow up question specifically about dynamic range (remember, I only know to ask this because of the previous search engine results.)

    Perplexity’s response: “ The Nikon D800 has a dynamic range of 14.4 EV, which is considered excellent and is even better than most medium format cameras123. The Leica SL2's dynamic range is not explicitly mentioned in the search results, but the Nikon D800's dynamic range is highly praised, suggesting that it might have an advantage in this area.”

    Useless.

    Now, you can argue that I need to pay for the Pro version. But here’s the thing, even if I was willing to pay, the old search engine non-AI web would have answered my questions.

    AI has made the web useless and then presented itself as the solution to the very problem that it created. And it expects me to pay them for that.

    • Imagine if Google or Amazon asked us all to pay to use it. Hahaha. These AI companies are cooked.

    • Sure, no problem. I totally get your point.
      Maybe this will help instead?

    • But I would argue that Google and Seo masters made the web useless

    • You can check out DXO mark for camera/sensor testing. A good proxy for dynamic range is the per pixel surface area a larger pixel (lower res, more surface area)monNom
    • A larger pixel will accumulate more photons while the shutter is open, yielding better sensitivity.monNom
    • Guys I’m not that worried about the cameras.

    • It was just a great example of me feeling the web was breaking because of AI

    • Dual iso interleaving or multi-exposure can make that essentially a moot point. But all else being equal, pixel size is the critical factor in dynamic range.monNom
    • Ah, missed that. Totally agree. It seems modern web content is optimized to encourage lots and lots of scrolling while giving you less and less value.monNom
