See a trend on the DR figures. Why would anyone suspect that number would mysteriously plummet with the 6D2?

My grumblings are directly related to this comment from DPR:
"According to Canon representatives, the 6D Mark II should outperform the original 6D (which it very evidently does) but may not offer the same kind of dynamic range and absolute resolution of the EOS 5D Mark IV."

I think I (like many others) incorrectly expected that the 6D II would be equivalent to or better than the 5D IV in Dynamic Range since that was what happened with the 6D release after the 5D III. Also, I always understood that Canon's perspective on sensor quality was that Canon always puts the best sensor technology available into their cameras regardless of where it fits into their line.
and yet many others were saying that theory was pretty much a fallicy.
especially when the 77D/T7i did *NOT* get the 80D sensor, but a lower quality one.
I guess the expectation is more in line with the 5d3 and 6d releases. The original 6D was a match or slightly beat the sensor in the 5d3, so the hope/expectation/whatever you wanna call it is that the 6DII would be a match for the sensor in the 5D4.
