dear ng,
I´m still into analog photography but have a keen interest in the
digital technique. As far as I understand it, the dynamic range of an
imaging sensor/camera combo is defined as the maximum signal divided
by the noise which is produced in the various stages. Does thermal
noise still play a vital role in this calculation (as far as longtime
exposures are concerned) or is it so successfully erased by the noise
reduction techniques that it doesn´t have to be be taken into account
in calculating dynamic range?
Best regards for your input!

I believe you are really talking about dark current, which is very
temperature depended, not thermal noise. If so then yes for long
exposures dark current can become an issue.

Well I thought dark current translates into thermal noise so that both
are indeed the same.
Isn´t that correct?
