Is there a great advantage to FX vs. DX for showing details in the shadow areas and light areas?

Most definitely. Larger sensors ALWAYS outperform smaller ones in this arena.

Yes - but not always. Some of the better newer APS-C cameras have better dynamic range than some of the earlier full frame cameras. For cameras of the same generation, the difference is typically in the one to one and a half stop range.

Any serious comparison would be about same-generation cameras.
So what is your point?

Generally speaking -yes- there is an advantage - the magnitude of the advantage may be application/situation specific and may not always be a "great" advantage. I would label this a niche advantage.

Since you were smart enough to be specific, "...for showing details in the shadow areas and light areas." I can't think of any answer other than YES!

A canon 5d mark2 has the same dr as the m4/3 EM1. You could be right, but why assume that the OP is getting the latest FF camera?

My ten year old FX camera is not as good as my brand new DX camera.
Which one should I use?

There is nothing wrong with being corrected.

Oh absolutely. The detail you get in an Full Frame camera for landscapes is just amazing vs a crop body.

There are a few exceptions - hi res mode from 4 m4/3 cameras exceed any FF camera. But that is expected from 64 and 80mp files.
