Full-Frame DSLR Sensors Tested by DxO Labs, Compared by Adorama

Using data recorded by DxOLabs.com, Adorama has an article comparing the current lineup of full-frame DSLR camera bodies: the Canon 1Ds Mark III and 5D Mark II, the Nikon D3, D3x and D700, and the Sony Alpha 900.

From the article:
Not surprisingly, these five cameras earned DxOMark's top five overall image-quality ratings of all cameras they have tested so far. (The other full-frame DSLRs, the Canon EOS 1Ds Mark II, EOS 5D and EOS 1Ds, are older but with the exception of the EOS 1Ds were near the top of the list as well.)

DxOMark conducts measurements based on the Raw image, which is the unadulterated image file as captured by the sensor (a jpeg, on by comparison, has already gone through some processing which may include grain reduction or color compensation, before you even get to see it.) DxO Analyzer, which has become an industry standard for camera image quality testing, was used in determining the results. DxO conducts its tests using specifically designed test targets under consistent conditions in a lab environment.
