No one is going to miss that touch bar
They had so many things to cripple and they've decided not to do it.
Good thinking on their part, well done.
And regardless of that, Canon doesn't advertise DR or read noise values. The most we got in this regard was a leak about the DR on the 6D 2 way back when, as far as I know.
DR and low light performance will be good, as they have been in all recent releases. There's now basically no more room for improvement, so what do you expect? I bet this is the same sensor as found in the 1DX III.
Sony didn't say anywhere that the A9 has less dynamic range than the A7III (or even the 5D IV), even though it does.
Geez, it's 2020.....you're not going to get a "real" camera for that cheap.
I'm guessing if you want an entry level camera, go for the R or RP...those I believe will be priced in the range you want if not now...soon.
But a brand new release that is decently on the ProSumer level...forget it.
Photography has never been a cheap hobby, and likely never will be.
Just my $0.02,
