Ektar 100 is 15 + stops as is its motion twin vision 3. Kodak gold 400 has insane dmax but grain.

Ctein observed both a (my) Nikon D200 and a Fuji SF100 recording 11
stops of exposure range in 2008

The Black Magic Pocket Cinema camera (Micro Four Thirds mount) claims 13
stops.
DPreview seems to measure more like 10 on random cameras I found reviews
of (but dynamic range isn't really the same as exposure range; however
it looks like DPreview is just using the wrong term).
We are, at least, solidly beyond the useful performance of film,
especially slide film.
