Limited DR is a bigger problem in my opinion.

Is the sensor made by Sony? i think M3 sensor is as good as a6300, a6500, and the RAW file is 14bit compare to 11bit in Sony, you actually can do shadow lifting and highlight recovery well.

i used to own an a6500, compare both two's raw files, personally, i prefer Canon.

Low light on the M3 is no joke. I noted going to the M5 that I lost a bit. PhotonsToPhotons confirms the low light score of the M3 is higher than the M5/6/50/100/200. It's true in viewing. It isn't until the M6 II that the M3 gets surpassed in low light by another M. The M3 is fierce in low light when paired with say a 22 pancake or other fast lens.

i guess the low light quality minor reduction in newer models must be caused by Dual Pixel AF design? But i think the trade off is not bad.

Exactly my thoughts. AF should not be underestimated, but yes, DPAF came with a cost, not a huge one by any means, but a cost nonetheless. Is top-notch AF or top notch ISO more important? It's in the eye of the beholder.

M6 has better ISO performance than M3.

M3 has nicer colors on the other hand.
