Congrats to Nikon - Best Sensor

Monday, November 17th, 2008

OK, obviously that’s open for debate but I found this interesting. The folks at DXO are attempting to apply some science and objectivity behind determining which camera has the best sensor. From a technical standpoint they rate the D3 as the best followed closely behind by the D700 (which makes sense, they’re the same sensor) and then the Canon 1Ds MkIII (note the s). The scale is based upon color depth, dynamic range, and low light ISO? I’d like to know what low light ISO is. Do they mean high ISO used in low light? That would be my guess but perhaps it’s not the best choice of words. Anyhow, it’s sure to start some epic flame wars in cyberspace. Have fun!!!!
