In short- Canon are behind and must invest in new sensor lines or even better start a partnership with someone who mastered the latter technique
Makes sense.
The previous Canon CEO was fired because the company profits did not meet expectations. The current CEO is trying to maximize company profits by selling subpar (5D3 vs D800, 6D vs D600) products at higher prices than the competition. They will have been better off if they focus more on improving their product quality, earning more respect from users and reviewers and establishing long term relations with their supporters. Their current strategy may benefit them in the short term but can be damaging in the long run. Sigh... In any case, we are just users looking for the best bang for buck... too bad for Canon.
Edit: Something just came to my mind. EXMOR technology is not the only solution to increase dynamic range. I believe the D3s/D4 sensors are designed by Nikon and these have better DR than anything from Canon so far even if they are slightly behind EXMOR DR. I think it\'s already a big step forward if Canon is able to match the D3s/D4 low ISO DR. Nikon also does not have experience with mobile phone cameras.
What Nikon has been able to do is pull down the read noise of their own designed sensors in D4.
Canon can do the same but must much be better in the signal handling after the read out but to get so low readout noise figures as Sony shows with column wise ADC is not possible.
