In reality, these Canon sensors (22mp FF, 18mp APS-C), Sony sensors (36mp FF, 16mp APS-C) and Nikon sensors (16mp FF) are very close in performance, noise wise, when you step up the ISO setting. The bit lower DR at base ISO really is not that big a deal, with no real impact on real photography.

'Huge' read noise in Canon designed sensors compared to Sony designed sensors is because of lack on sensor ADC. Also Nikon designed sensors doesn't feature on sensor ADC but we saw even without that Nikon managed low read noise at base ISO but most probably they sacrificied a bit high ISO performanceto achieve that.
And if you want to see have FF sensors compare one to other check [url="http://mansurovs.com/nikon-d800-review"]this[/url] Nikon D800 review.
