Sensor dynamic range and native ISO

The high ISO NR also depends/ed on exposure time and/or high ISO NR being enabled or not. Making blanket statements about Sony/Nikon based on some vague memories of something you read in the past does not make for the most accurate posts.

So, mostly incorrect. 

You are making unsubstantiated assumptions here. I only gave the starry sky images as an example, basically because everybody knows those. 

I used to have a 1D Mk III at some point, which had similar complaints. A small piece of software I acquired that used similar algorihtms as to what Nikon did at the time, gave similar results DR-wise at base iso. It was nice to experiment with this, but it was another step in the processing flow, and I didn't need it anyway.

I haven't kept track of any of this, other than occasionally browsing new articles on the subject, if I happened to come acoss them, but basically Canon chooses to not process noise prior to storing "RAW" results as much as Nikon and Sony do. That they have a slight disadvantage in their current line-up of processors with off-sensor processing of signals is clear, but it isn't really 2 stops of DR.

Besides, as mentioned, I do not really care about this.
