There's a section where they look at the ISO rating vs stops of DR. The glossy promises 13.5 stops of DR from ISO 100-1000 and if the web page is anything to go by, they achieve this with "dual gain ISO" and the camera uses a different number of stops for highlights/shadows. Above ISO 1000, they claim 12.2 stops from ISO 1250 to ISO 6400.

If that's true, that's a revolutionary way to shoot digital.
