I was just on the PT facebook page and noticing a comment someone made about the Canon 5d mark III post. Talking about the Nikon D800 has greater dynamic range.

Which full frame camera has the greatest dynamic range?

Canon EOS 7D|Canon EF 70-200mm F/2.8L USM |
Canon EF 50mm F/1.4 USM |
(2) Canon Speedlite 480EX II

Nikon D800 has the best dynamic range out of any camera out there I believe.

It's definitely the highest in full frame.

Does Sony make anything close? Actually are their full frame cameras used by pros?

While their Full Frame models may be used by some pros, It's doubtful that there are many as they don't have the selection of lenses & accessories that Nikon & Canon do

DXOmark's list of top 10 dynamic range, 35mm DSLRs contains, 7 Nikons, 2 Sony's, and 1 Canon in spot #10.

If you include APS-C sensors the Pentax K-5 comes in a #3 for DR right behind the D800 and D800E.

Sony calls it's sponsored pros "Sony Artisans of Imagery" so try googling that. I'm sure there are many pros who find Sony gear quite capable.
