This might be a weird criticism but... making photos taken in the dark look like they are not actually dark seems kind of like a weird thing to do? I've struggled with my micro 4/3 camera to capture accurate night photographs, but the last thing I wanted of them was to be brighter than I was perceiving them to be.

That said, the effect of some of these photographs is striking, and I'm sure the tech is interesting.

I hear what you're saying. But I almost always capture photos for data, not art, and would really benefit from this. As long as it is a setting, we both win.

I think the idea is that you could capture a better photo with more detail up front then post-process afterwards to how you want it to look. Although I get what you're saying, some of the night photos looked great on the default camera.
