Sure it does. Sony A7II has dynamic range of 14.7 EV.

A release by Kodak showcased that most film has around 13 stops of dynamic range. Today’s modern digital cameras all average around 14 stops of dynamic range, with high-end units such as the Nikon D810 reaching almost 15 stops. Film continuous to deliver incredible dynamic range, but today’s digital technology can easy match it.

Wasn't aware it has improved that much. I have ~10 EV era gear which is top of the line from single digit years ago.

My Canon 70D is also not great ~10. I can see it when I look at my friends low light Sony pictures taken in same settings, it's noticeable.
