I thought slides were more like 4.5 stops of range and you were lucky
to get detail on the ends. Certainly I don't believe I ever got
better than that with the low ISO slide films.
I find my digi cameras doing considerably better than that - maybe 7
or even 8 stops. But it's the capabilities of digital manipulation
that open the door to an even wider range.
I have a hunch if you go to some site like dpreview you'd find firm
numbers that represent the sensitivity of the various sensors and
from there at least you'd have a basis for comparison.
