Many cameras, like, D7K, 5100, K5, A55/57, D800, A77 have Sony sensors characterized by low read noise. This has some DR implications and shadows can be pulled without noise penalties and they remain clean.
If we look at canon 5D MII for examples, shadows become muddy when pulled, necessitating correct exposure.
Do you think this has any real world implications on your photography, will you prefer a camera over the other because of this?
Or do you think it's not important?

.... for my generation of living in the same house with an a900 + a 7d (i know, we are all so old now) = for my use, both are lovely, each in it's own special way - just like humans really - well some humans, possibly mr.-2 above has a somewhat more restricted DR, or maybe is more of a P&S or camera phone style -
- if anything the 900 has a greater problem with dark noise and the 7d has lesser detail in the whites and the white clipping is earlier and not so smooth, maybe (not so unlike an earlier aps-c camera i had) - but i can make both camera pictures look the same via C1, but not using standard settings in either case for either high contrast or a flat response (horses for courses) -
- and besides, one friend has a 5D2 and makes lovely pictures from it in difficult and sometimes dark conditions - another friend has just acquired an 800 and the pictures i've seen from it look super (but i haven't seen it under test conditions, just very detailed low noise people pix) -
- so if the 800 is the next gen camera, things are looking promising, although i understand he already wants it to be faster and have a wider selection of focus points - so there is always the roving eye for something/someone more beautiful while forever remaining faithful to the already beloved and dare i say most useful cook in the kitchen....
