What's the point without push? To leverage high DR sensors in highly contrast scenes and protect highlight, you will need to underexpose photos and then push shadow back. That's what we have talked about in DPR forums for years that Canon used to lag behind Sony in large degree in this area but now Canon is capturing up but still lags behind.You're mistakenly interpreting ISO Invariance visualizations with dynamic range.If you check DPR lab scene , you will see 5D IV is about one stop behind A7r II at ISO 100 and 1.5 stops behind D810 at ISO 64.Thanks for the data bill. Very interesting to see It's on par with a Canon sensor (1dxii and 5d4)even though it's bsi... a while ago the 5d4 got new revised data that shows it to be just a bit behind the a7rii and d810.
You need to compare the same ISO settings without any push.
Without push, even my old 5D III has adequate DR. But I want to preserve highlight, then 5D III's RAW files will be ugly after pushing shadow. That's the reason I only used A7r exclusively on tripod in evening cityscape then during my last EU trip when I carried both 5D3 and A7r. The difference after shadow push is huge.
