To my fellow photogs shooting Canon who are contemplating a switch to another system but are holding out hope for better Canon-branded sensor tech, I think this quote from Masaya Maeda, Managing Director and Chief Executive, Image Communication Products Operations at Canon, speaks volumes. I recommend you continue exploring other options, because denials not just a river in Egypt... Link to interview: dpreview/articles/7079726133/photokina-2014-canon-interview-mirrorless-in-the-very-near-future DPReview: One thing we know from our own testing is that Canon DSLR sensors can’t quite compete with some modern sensors from Sony in terms of dynamic range. How important to you is developing sensor technology? Mr. Maeda: We are very focused on getting the best image quality. I’m not sure what measurements you’re looking at but when it comes to dynamic range for example we consider image quality as a whole, from low to high ISO sensitivities and on balance we consider our sensors to be the best. My ideal camera is one that can take a picture in any environment from complete darkness to the brightest sunshine. DPReview: So in your opinion your sensors are currently the best on the market? Mr. Maeda: Yes. In the EOS 7D Mark II for example the sensor we’ve used is improved compared to the previous generation, especially at high ISO and in shadows. There’s less noise.
