The D7100 and D5200 Toshiba sensors score about 13.7EV for DR. I wasn't aware the D7200 was still Toshiba, but that is a much better sensor and King of the APS_C sensors currently.
I'm not sure that the D7200 is Toshiba but many Nikon users seem to think that. Anyway, Sony now has access to all the best sensor technology after their Toshiba sensor division purchase.

I read the D500 sensor is a Nikon design, but appears to being using Sony tech, like on-sensor ADC, so it might be quite different to D7200 Toshiba sensor, but I suspect it will be very good. I wonder if they have traded off absolute low ISO DR for superior high ISO noise, as I've seen reports it's very good at high ISO and should worry the 7DII.
Agree, and because of that I'm not sure the D500 is better than 80D for low ISO, we don't know what trade-off, if any, has been made. But I expect D500 to be better in DR, and maybe even in detail/resolution despite the 20 MP (because of the 80D LP filter); the question is how much difference remains.
And in reply to thw2 about AF performance: of course D500 has better AF than 80D, but I don't know if it matters for me. My main 'action' subject is flying dragonflies, and they might prove too fast and unpredictable for even the best AF systems. I'm currently using MF on my 450D which works much better then AF, both 80D and 500D should be a big step up where at least in some conditions AF will work. Here again I don't know how relevant the difference is in practice and there is no way to know except by trying both or from others who used these cameras with similar subject.
