I can't but agree the DXOMark score is nonsensical, as is any other system that tries to describe a camera by a single number. Yet one can find useful information, by looking carefully at what and how they're measuring.

The DR rating was already confirmed (for me), so it's not like I trust them (more than any other synthetic benchmark).



"Doctored" as in "To falsify or change in such a way as to make favorable to oneself"? If you said something like that about me, I would be offended; is it just my bad command of English, or a bad choice of words and broad generalization from your part?

I see no evidence of anything like this below ISO3200, and just a hint of NR above (details are retained up to ISO51200, which IMO is amazing for a 16MP non-FF camera). For all ISO range the noise is easy to work with, there's no "bad" NR algorithm applied that would transform it into color blotches. I'm saying this after studying images and/or talking with people who did the same. Then, what is "doctored"?

Maybe you're just not used with sensors with such a low read-out noise? But it doesn't mean they're "doctoring" RAWs.



To try anything like this, never crossed my mind. Not with my unforgiving K20D, anyway.
