5DS scores at DXO **now posted**

Re: 5DS scores at DXO drop **tomorrow** (i.e. 7/8/15)

The problem dilbert, is that they are NOT following that logic in lens scores. How many times do I need to cite the 500mm lenses comparisons/scores of the Canon vs. Nikon and they specifically said they scored the Nikon lens the same as the Canon, despite it not performing as well as a lens, simply because of the superior DR of the Nikon camera used for the Nikon lens (I think it was the D800 and 5D3).

Obviously that is complete garbage to a scientist and I do contend it has absolutely no real-world usefulness. Or, better, the SCORES don't reflect reality.
Sorry, I don't get the problem. DxO presents lens scores -in combination with- cameras. So if you have a 'superior' body with a 'inferior' lens (Nikon), that can give you the same overall result as a 'inferior' body with a 'superior' lens (Canon).

Sounds more 'real-word' to me than just lens tests. Unless you already have a body and are not interested in other brands, this is not super-interesting. But this way you can compare the end result of several systems. You'd have no usage to hear that a Pentax lens is 'vastly superior' to anything on the market while their cameras are garbage (for example of course), if you want the best overall result.

If I misunderstood you, I'd like to hear what you mean.

Please explain the importance and/or relevance of dynamic range to a Lens Score.

Be it known:

I see no lenses yet tested yet with either camera. Bear in mind, a Sigma 50mm ART on a 5D III scores a 35.

The 55mm Otus on a Nikon D810 scores a 48.

The D810 has 64% MORE pixels than the 5D III.

How long does DxO delay lens testing since the numbers for my 5DSR plus my 20 year old Canon 135L f2 are going to match or perhaps beat that Zeiss/Sonikon combo...

Fun!!!

My favorite DXO bit is the same Zeiss Otus lens getting a +11 point higher rating for the Nikon (a massive difference) solely because of sensor resolution.

I am curious to see if that trend holds when the same Otus lens is put on a 5DS.

DXO's graphs are extremely helpful (especially their lens sharpness field maps). Their overall scoring however is NOT and just adds confusion. Just utilize it as a tool for specific bits of information you need when comparing two lenses or camera bodies.

With a mere 12.4-stops of DR, Canon lenses just can't compete... ::)
Sorry Canon, you don't qualify for the discretionary DxO points bonus... :'(

Let the defense begin. Excuse, attack, deflect, ...

The tests are what they are. They measure something, important in some case but for real world photography not sure what they measure ..

According to the DxO measurements the 5Ds pixels are not very good at all. Their published measurements claim the 6D pixels are superior in every metric, including color sensitivity. Even the 7D Mark-II with its DPAF pixels is also claimed to perform slightly better at pixel level?

Can someone please pass the salt shaker. I need a two pinches of salt.

Yes, indeed, let the defense begin. I'd love to see DXO defend its decision to score as "sensors" composite images, but only from its own hardware.

I tend to appreciate the Lens metrics like "P-MP" (perceptual megapixels). That's about it. A 135L f2 resolves 20 p-MP on a 5D3. That's 90% of sensor maximum. The 70-200 2.8 Mk II resolves 21 on the same camera. Or, 95% of max resolution. (again all DxO numbers)

The Otus 55 on a Nikon D810 resolves 33MP, roughly 90% of sensor maximum. (we have to go to the German guys because Nikon can't make a lens that can do that, but I digress) So the Sharpest lens (3rd party) on the highest resolving DSLR camera (pre 5DS) resolved 33MP.

Sooooo When the 70-200 Mk II shows 40+ P-MP resolve on the 5DS .... Funny will happen.

Nevermind. It's official. The DxO One is a better camera than the 5D Mk III. And only a mere 2% below the 5DS.

Well, Sh!t ... I gotta go return my 5DSR now.

Yeah, knowing this would happen, I didn't even bother with a 5Ds. I thought about the DxO ONE, but I'll wait for the next iteration, when any kinks have been worked out. I plugged ONE into the DxOMark Score algorithm and determined that their second camera will be the DxO NEGATIVE FOUR.

Nice to see that 5DS(R) isn't so color blinded as latest releases from Canon (started by 1DX and still present in 7DII). It's almost on pair with 1DIV, unfortunately it still doesn't reach metamerism heights of kings of the hill 1Ds3 and 1D3...

I think some are misinterpreting certain people's responses to DxO anything. I for one just find it amusing entertainment. I don't care what they do. People like me are content knowing we have the best cameras for what we need and do. I don't want to speak for Neuro, but I'm pretty certain he feels the same. This stuff is just good for a few laughs. If DxO tomorrow revised the score to a 96, beating the D810, it still makes ZERO difference to us.

That said, a DxO ONE getting a higher overall score than a 5D3 even with it's own admittedly substantially worse ISO performance (by it's own tested score metrics).... THAT is something to raise an eyebrow at. That's what makes all this so funny.

And I'll be the first to admit, I'm actually interested in looking more closely at that little sucker. I'd rather pocket that with my phone than an EOS M for simplicity. And that is NOT because of it's score. I was curious about it the day it was announced. But to tell me (effectively) that it's a better overall camera than my 5D3? I want some of what they smoke over there... What else do those scores represent??

as expected, they are not really going anywhere fast. It was a rushed sensor pushed to just deliver the most pixels per unit area they could and they succeeded.

as expected, the fanboys will discredit DXO until such time as they publish a favorable outcome, then DXO will be all that matters.

as expected, real photographers will care little, and just use a tool for the job and move on. This is just a camera. Not a religion.

Agreed. I don't follow DxO myself. But at least they are accepting that DxO ONE is scoring 70 with standard RAW vs 85 with SuperRAW in their shady testing system.

As expected, the SoNikon fanboys will continue to turn up here like bad pennies, full of support for DxO's BS (which is an abbreviation for Biased Scores, Bad Science, and Bovine Scat, among other things).

Generally the criticism of the company's scores seems pretty well-supported (I've not used the website much, so I can only go on the web chatter). Can you address their points rather than labelling them all 'fanboys'?

Many of so-called SoNikon fanboys have shot Canon longer than you.
Only thing that is the same old bad penny here is you.

Sure their overall scores are a bit 'interesting' but you full well known lots of individual numbrs are not based on bad science, biased or bovine scat, but like any political operative you handily toss everything together and obfuscate while portraying yourself as the bastion of clarity, straightforwardness and all.
