Absolutely. Canon basically lost the undisputed pole position when Sony switched to CMOS sensors back in 2007. Before, their CMOS tech was clearly better than Sonys CCD stuff.

Sony did not "switch to" CMOS in 2007. Early 2005 the Nikon D2X came to market with a Sony sourced 12mp CMOS 1.5x crop APS-C sensor. The Sony R1 was introduced half a year later with a 10mp CMOS 1.7x crop APS-C sensor.



Only with the 12mp APS-C sensor introduced with the Nikon D300 the Sony CMOS sensor was on par with the Canon CMOS sensors. Since the 16mp Sony APS-C sensor (found in the K5, D7000, NEX5 among others) Sony have lowered the read out noise floor, giving them an advantage in EV range. High ISO wise, there is not a lot between the Sony, Canon and Nikon sensors at the moment.
