A data point. Camera was set to night mode. Substantial ISO and noise
reduction involved. Today, I experimented with the pano and HDR modes Very
nice results. In Dean's photo, there is a ton of noise reduction down in
the two to three pixel range, but that is a result of the night mode.
As to the blown highlights behind him, I'm not sure what to say there,
because the bags are white and very reflective. The north windows were
behind me with the sun reflecting off of cars and snow.
