I know, you're right. I just get very tired of people expecting a huge company like Canon to pander to their specific needs, and when Canon doesn't deliver they threaten to change systems. Economically, people switching mounts on a whim is just a drop in the ocean.
Dude is spending way too much time on the internet rather than furthering his craft.

How about medium format? Good enough for you?
I always find comments like this amazing -- and the reason why I tend to think that most of this DR discussion is driven by nothing more than DR envy on the part of many Canon users. There is nothing said about photography here, it looks like you just want a better number on some spec sheet or a higher rating in a review.
Nikon has plenty of options for sensors other than Sony. Similarly, Canon has options other than Canon for sensors. I wouldn't worry too much about either companies' choice of sensor vendor.
Assuming, of course, that that part of you name is meant to stand for 'zen'
The 5D3 is a better camera than you will ever be able to use to its limits, the 5D4 will push those limits even further away from you, get a life - blaming a camera's sensor on a reason to change brands just makes you sound like a gear hungry amateur consumed by paper specs.
5DIV will come with new sensor tech as it would otherwise kill off one of Canon's strongest marketing points: the 5d-series.
Canon lags in one aspect only: DR at base ISO. Compared to the A7R/A7II (bit not Nikon), it still has better DR at high ISO, where it really matters, no visible sensor reflections or color shift. It has much better colors, too. And this is just the 6D, we do not really know what the 5DS will bring.
It looks like that rumor is more aligned with a replacement for the 1DC camera according to the Northlight guys. I would be really surprised to see the replacement for the 5DIII come in with fewer MP -- but stranger things have happened.
you do have to wonder.
canon tests many different configurations this far out. camera body design can happen over the course of 3-5 years as well, so it could be any camera - or even just "bait" to see who leaks it.
It's not on a whim. I've been shooting Canon for nearly 40 years and would really like a FF higher res camera for landscape and street work. I've not taken the plunge simply because Canon over the past few models has not shown a camera that truly interests me and the low ISO DR issue is a part of it. I don't like Nikon's ergo's, UI or lens offerings so they've never been an option and to me Sony is an entertainment company, not a camera company and I don't trust them. I've also had several Sony product disasters and I'm not interested in going there again.
