That definitely makes sense. The thing is, when I look into the 50D and the 80D pictures, I don’t see much difference regarding dynamic range or “sharpness”. And that is about 10y of development. Even the newer 90D doesn’t provide a better dynamic range according to @g-man s website. So, there doesn’t seem to be that much progress on the Canon side - or I’m looking into the wrong models, maybe?
On the other side (the greener one 
), I see the pictures like this

Here I can add +4 EV and its just fine (quality wise) 
Would not be possible with my 80D. I think it was taken with a X-T3, which also has just a crop sensor.
