DXOMark Image Quality Database

by on Jan.27, 2009, under Photography

I’ve just discovered a fascinating site produced by DXO Labs. The DXOMark database contains image quality information for a large range of digital SLRs and measures signal to noise ratios, dynamic range, colour sensitivity and various other parameters across the supported ISO range for each camera. It’s fascinating to see how these numbers vary from camera to camera and quite pleasing to find that (a) the Nikon D90 is the best performer in the APC-S sensor class (and highest amateur/prosumer level body) and also that (b) it agrees with my assessment of the noise performance of the Canon Powershot G9.
