There was a press release for a new 25 stop range sensor technology this week. It should show up in cameras in a few years, if not sooner.

My scans have been Nikon ls-2000, Coolscan 5000, some old photo CDs, and
a very few drum scans.  Certainly not flatbed scans!  And to some extent
I've been comparing direct darkroom prints from film, not later digital
prints, which does give the digital captures a considerable advantage
(digital printing being so far beyond darkroom printing).
