When looking at comparisons between 6D and D600, it is always pointed out how much higher the Nikon scores in DR. (14.2 vs 12.1) I am wondering if this is really noticeable in everyday photography or is it more just numbers on paper. Do any Canon owners feel the lower DR limits their photography?
I am in the market for a FF camera and am very scared by Nikon's QC issues. I am really leaning towards Canon, but want to make sure I understand what I am getting into.
It depends on what you like to shoot, how you plan on using your camera and if you like to work your RAW files in post. If you shoot JPEG it makes absolutely no difference as the JPEG format will not render the DR of most cameras today. If you shoot RAW and like to process your files in post then it could be an issue depending on what and how you shoot. If you shoot into the Sun or at midday in bright sunlight and expect to have clean noise free detail in the shadows then yes it could make a difference but you'll have to know how to expose properly and how to work the files in post to get the results you want. IMO for the vast majority of photographs captured it makes no difference whatsoever.

Complete nonsense, take a jpeg photo on a sunny afternoon a Canon 5DMKIII according to DXO Mark has a dynamic range of 11.7 EV's the camera maps the dynamic range into the jpeg.
The same happens with the D800 it maps the 14.4 EV's of dynamic range so it fits into the jpeg.
If you are shooting jpegs with a Canon the shadows are very black you don't have much latitude for any post processing.
Shoot jpegs with the Nikon & they are much more pleasant to post process you are more likely to use a tonal curve to darken the shadows than to push the shadows.
Camera Labs reviewed both the 5DMKIII & the D800 there's plenty of straight out of camera jpegs that clearly show the difference in dynamic range between the cameras.
If you have a Canon & you care about dynamic range stick to raw.

Sorry but it appears you have no idea what you are talking about.
I'd suggest some study on your part so I offer the following;
http://www.normankoren.com/digital_tonality.html
and
http://www.clarkvision.com/articles/raw.versus.jpeg1/index.html
One might use a tone curve to flatten an image file when converted to JPEG but you're compressing the file to 8 bits and one that would be very unappealing to view on a monitor or in print.

Wonder why they bothered including a HDR mode in the Canon 5DMKIII its got to be pretty pointless if it produces jpegs that cannot show the extended dynamic range.
Those articles are ancient in digital terms Norman Koren wrote that in 2002 & the Clark article was written in 2004.
