Mt Spokane Photography said:DXO does not rate a camera, just the sensor. A camera can have all kinds of issues and problems, and might be totally unsuitable for most photographers, but they will rate it high if they like the sensor.
As long as a person understands that and evaluates the rest of the camera, you can build the total picture.

Definitely! This score doesn't even take into account the in-body image stabilization, class-leading 4k video, or solid AF with Canon glass.

Number of Canon lenses retested on the 5DS? Zero. They wouldn't want the world's 1,064th best lens -- the Canon 70-200 f/2.8L IS II -- suddenly becoming the world's 20th best lens all of sudden.
(Because their lens rating system is dominated by how many pixels are looking at it. You know. That.)
They could not re-test a *single* lens before they got their a7R II review completed. One might expect they'd now withhold all Canon lens retesting until they have the Sony lenses retested as well. Classic DXO.

[quote author=http://petapixel.com/2015/08/28/dxomark-the-sony-a7r-ii-has-the-best-sensor-weve-ever-seen/]It looks like the hype surrounding the new Sony a7R II is justified… at least when it comes to sensor quality. DxOMark tested backside-illuminated full-frame sensor in the camera — a world’s first — and the sensor received the highest overall quality score ever awarded by the testing lab.

Props to Sony for a hell of a sensor design. Unfortunately for Sony, dxo only gives it a point more than the d810 when it should be heaps higher because it does so much better at higher ISO's
I wonder how much the lossy compression hurts the camera score here...
