Here we are in 2020 still talking about Canon's dynamic range ....... 

 I started out with the Samung GX10 (Pentax K10) in head scratching  2006 (good god)   ......which had terrible Jpgs pastel false colours mediocre RAW files .. but hey .. it was digital ...
... then came the K20 which had way better Jpgs/RAW  and decent dynamic range and  14.5 Mps resolution.......

Turning point .... 2010.

  the K5 .... and that was it! bingo ..... 14 stops of DR, really malleable files, tons of detail in the shadows without much noise, truly liberating !! .... actually I think it was one of Pentax's best sensors (Sony 16 MPs) .... this was the turning point for Sony ........ the modern day IQ was there ..... ten years ago! 
..... then Nikon appeared and it was more of the same and I've been shooting those sensors ever since ..... 

 Now ten years down the road which is an eternity in the digital world ......... and we're still reading the same old  Canon script ..... words like  .... "adequate" should not be a description of a modern sensor ....
 ..10 years after the Sony 16 MP sensor and Canon still hasn't caught up .... their sensor circuitry picking up noise en route when everyone else has it on the sensor's rear tucked away from all things spurious... 

..... and what with life being so short and all ..

perhaps they'll produce afterlife range
