A nephew was married in the most appallingly dim setting with theater spot lights: the A1 kept detail in shadow and almost all the highlights even at ISO 16000. As well, Texas has some very bright sunlight which in the past was difficult to photograph in. The Sony handles the dynamic range very well indeed..
