Plz, I really want to see this incredible diff, AND NOT poorly exposed high contast BS pics - REAL honest to God and Man pictures !
Thanks, and I really mean this.
Nex-6 against the sun, foreground pulled a great deal with great results.
No doubt better than the M I've got now.

Good example.
Since it's it's not even an example, it can't possibly be a good example. An example, good, bad, or otherwise, would involve the same shot taken with two different cameras. Unless we see that shot taken with the M (or another Canon with similar sensor), we can't possibly tell whether the DR advantages of the Sony sensor would make an actual difference. Simply saying that's it's better than the M doesn't get us anywhere. The OP's perfectly reasonable point was that we never get to see actual pictures taken with both cameras in the same conditions that are worthwhile. No-one disputes that you can come up with situations in which extreme shadow recovery on Sony sensors looks better than the same degree of shadow recovery on Canon sensors. All the examples I have seen are simply horrible pictures, that I wouldn't want to keep anyway. This picture isn't horrible, though it isn't that great either, but I have taken similar shots with my M that look good too.
Here are a couple of similar examples, shooting into the sun (sunrise in this case) with the M:
To my eye, these look just as good, if not better, than the Nex-6 example. Of course, I don't have a Nex-6 version of these to compare. So they are also not examples of how one camera is better or worse than the other. They are examples, though, of what the M can do shooting into the sun.
