WAS there a rumor that 1DX beats D4 on as-yet unreleased DxO score?

[ScottyP]

The thread in here on "Canon on top again" got a little flamey, but the OP's premise was that there is such a rumor. (That Canon will be the top-ranked pro sensor when the Dx0 Mark rating comes out). That was largely ignored in the responses, though.

Anyway, I never saw that rumor. Was that a CR rumor?

yeap 8)

Just a rumour, but it got "debate" in some detail and at some lenght.

"debate"

I think the word you're looking for is scrum...

With the EOS 1Dx, Canon has the best AF (after the f/8 focusing and black focus point fix), best frame rates, best low light ever, and of course the best pro sensor according to the rumored DxO leaks.

It's funny, when Canon gets the nod from DxO it gets down-played and scoffed at (one just has to look at all the graphs & pictures). But it's used in every other reference where it's beneficial to Nikon. :

This is about rumoured DXO results, not about actual measurements and official results, isn't it?

I have no idea how DXO's actual results will look like nor am I likely to spend my time checking DXO's website daily for any updates in that direction. Perhaps someone else frequenting CanonRumors might do, given that there are so many eager to discuss DXO, so I don't think we will be waiting for long, once official results appear.
