DxOMark Sensor For Benchmarking Cameras - An Analysis by Peter van den Hamer.
Purpose of This Article
The data shown here is derived from DxOMark's website. My graphs don’t replace DxOMark's graphs and tables: you should use the DxOMark website to compare specific camera models. I simply created new graphs to stress certain overall trends and phenomena - originally for my own needs.
This article thus addresses various interrelated questions:
What do the DxOMark Sensor results mean?
How valid are the benchmark scores?
Why do large sensors outperform smaller ones?
Why don’t MPixels say much about image quality?
What can we learn about the cameras and industry from the DxOMark data?
