Dynamic How does the dynamic range of camera andthe human eye compare to that of digital cameras?

According to DxO tests camera, cameras have 10 to 12 stops of dynamic range  . Is that correct? Noise can completely screw some lowers values (easily resulting in loss of some stops).

Also hereNorman Koren says it is said that a digital camera's original dyndynamic range can be 9 to 11 stops, but prints have "only" 6.5 stops.

Human eye hasIn a section on dynamic range, Wikipedia says the human eye has a contrast ratio of around 6.5 stops.

  If it is like that is the case, why is the human eye clearly much better than cameras to record scenes with high dynamic range?
