29 January, 2011 - An Analysis of DxOMark Sensor

The Luminous Landscape

DxOMark Sensor is a service that benchmarks camera bodies. These measurements of primarily noise-behavior are published on DxOMark.com.

In today's new article, Peter van den Hamer analyzes the benchmark. The article explains that increasing resolution doesn't necessarily increase image noise. In contrast, using a physically bigger sensor typically does lower noise and increase dynamic range. This is explained in terms of the underlying theory, but also illustrated using actual DxOMark data.

Last, but not least, the article provides overviews showing how the various DxOMark measurements on actual cameras vary for cameras with different sensor sizes.
