DxOMark results for R8 sensor: performs like BSI

[koenkooi]

Various people here like to point out that BSI for non-phone sensors is largely about marketing and not noticeable improvements, DxO has published their analysis of the R8/R6II sensor and agrees: DxOMark R8 test results.

Although neither ‘back-side-illuminated’ nor ‘stacked’ the 24.2 MP CMOS sensor in the Canon EOS R8 has similar performance characteristics to BSI sensors from rivals

Initially, though, the adoption of a conventional front-side illuminated 24.2 MP CMOS sensor appears to be a weak link. However, it’s clear, from our tests, the Canon EOS R8 sensor is capable of producing extremely high image quality. Indeed in terms of color depth and dynamic range, it is on par with the leading BSI-type CMOS sensors.

When a review starts out with a blatant error, I typically stop reading. Their second sentence:

Like the EOS RP before it, the EOS R8 has a full-frame 24.2 MP CMOS type sensor…

No.

Oh my…
I really forgot the fun over DXO.

But thank you for sharing @koenkooi

No.

But R8 does have a full frame 24Mp sensor. If you're referring to the fact the RP had a 26Mp sensor, I wouldn't call it a blatant error. The RP had a full frame sensor, and the number of megapixels in the RP doesn't really matter for that particular review.
