I measured DR myself with the *ist DS and K10D using a procedure very similar to what was written up in "Photo Techniques" January/February 2007 issue. In my testing, the K10D's RAW capture dynamic range runs from 11 to 9 stops over the ISO range from 100 to 1600, an increase of about 2 stops over the *ist DS. (DR decreases as ISO increases.)
No testing of dynamic range is comparable unless the exact same procedure is used on all cameras. Whatever numbers DPR is publishing is reflective more of their testing methods than of the cameras specifically.
