5DS and 5DS R Sensor Scores at DXO

DXO scores are a laughing joke in the professional sensor and lens world if you want to know how to judge tests of lenses on cameras to maximise the performance read this article (yes its a machine vision site but the principle is exactly the same). Read the entire article and your quickly realise why DXO is a joke.

It does however highlight that as Canon use (as do Nikon, Sony et al) cameras with different pixel pitches the lens performance is NOT optimised for every camera.

I wonder if that is set to coincide with a scathing review of the new 5Ds rigs? ::)

Oh, good gravy, it gets better. They are putting "overall rank" (i.e. of ALL cameras) on there, and you can sort it by their normal metrics of Portrait (color depth), Landscape (DR) and Sports (ISO):

http://www.dxomark.com/Cameras#brand=canon&price=0%2C45200&year=2011%2C2015&xDataType=year&yDataType=rankDxo

Filtering it on those metrics, two of Canon's top three dynamic range sensors are Powershots. I'll be brave and guess those two rigs have Sony sensors. :P

Overall, the 5D3 is the 39th best camera on the market, and the 1DX is 34th.

With rankings like that, DXO is as bullet proof as Sepp Blatter (for those following the goings on in Zurich right now). Awesome.

Look up the Max Mosely scandal sometime, if you want good reading material. ;)

Interesting, DXOMark is offline! All access points get a server error message and a note to "Try Again".

It's back up now.

Ugh, my old 5DS links don't work, as the new DXO won't show scores if all lenses lack test data -- it auto-snaps back to a spec summary page. But if you drop in one camera that's been tested...

You can have a nice daily go-to link to see if scores are posted.
