Canon's sensor tech is certainly lagging compared to Sony's.

It is well ahead in terms of color...

Not to my tastes. A while back, DPR posted a bunch of comparisons between Canon, Nikon, and Sony with regards to color. As it turns out, overall, I favored Sony.

That was (Caucasian) skin color. Even they say that Sony greens are not good. This is like the Pope saying that God is fake.

That said, it's my opinion that, since I shoot RAW, getting the color I want is a non-issue with regards to differences between the sensors.

Wait until you get a Sony.

...dual pixel AF...

Yes.

...and thermal noise (but the latter might be due to no IBIS).

I'm not sure this is still the case. My understanding is the that Z suffers no such issues using both a Sony sensor and IBIS.

How would you know that?

BTW, the R sensor has improved dual pixels and microlenses.

Good to hear! However, I saw a base ISO DR comparison and it was [insignificantly] lower than the 5D4, meaning no difference in electronic noise (at base ISO, anyway) and saturation capacity.

This is just one of the factors. I own the 5D4 now which has an improved DR. I probably needed it 1-2 times. On the other hand, color is definitely different than on my 5D2 and I noticed it right away. I should have gotten the 6D2, I guess, just for the color.
