Canon EOS-1D X DXOMark Leaked (?)
Not only camera specs and images are leaking now and then, but eventually also the mighty DXOMarks are handled as genuine rumors. And here they are: Canon EOS-1D X DXOMark leaked. For what ever this score is worth in real life, here are the (supposedly) leaked scores for the Canon EOS-1D X, yet not published on dxomark.com:
- DxO score: 90
- DR: 12.8
- Color depth: 24.9 bits
- ISO: 3296
Let’s make it short: below the Nikon D600 and D800.

The way Canon operates, they get banding and grain in the shadows when pushed 2-3 stops and thus they always loose this test. DXO uses the same method for the ISO test where they compare the results and higher iso’s to see when the camera falls apart. If you don’t push the shadows and highlights, the Canon does very well. The D800 is a monster with dynamic range anyway though, especially at low ISO so some credit is due. I tested the D600 and it was very good as well. I’m in the middle of testing it against the 5Dmk3 right now and should have a video on it soon.

8 months ago |well, the D600 is a really good camera and in my test , it beats the D800E (I have that in my studio)in most of test categories but the D600 has very primitive AF unit and its VF is quite lousy(yellow tint in it).
Any way , the D600 is a big improvement upon the D700 and D800(in some areas) and it is just as good as the 5D3 in most of areas.
As for D800 DR, well, it is good at base ISO but after ISO400, the D800 is not as good as the D600 or the MK3 and even at base ISO it is just good in shadow DR.
And anything more than 24 bits in color depth score is useless because Adobe RGB cannot produce more than 24bits of color space.

8 months ago |stop posting paranoid view of DXO mark.
DXO is a crappy RAW converter that noone really cares , I think Adobe should start their AdobeMark or whatever called sensor benchmark.
DXO is a tiny French company, we need the big American Adobe to do something more meaningful that mirrors real life sensor performance.

8 months ago |oh one more thing , if I were to buy a FF DSLR now , I would have to get the Nikon D600(actually I ordered it a week ago and it should have been sent to my house in last week or so).
the D600 is an amazing camera , it has the best sensor in the Fullframe or FX league and it has the best AWB ever in Nikon and it has the best video IQ in any Nikon.
and in my opinion , the D600 grip is much better than that of the D800e, which is now going to put up for aunction.
but if I were action or portrait shooter , I would never use the D600 because it has some odd green cast in all its images and overexpose with my SB700 and SB910, and I would have say its AF is just “MEDIOCRE”.
But as I am a mostly MF-only shooter , the terrible AF of the D600 is not a dealbreaker.
but overall , I think I prefer Canon lens line-up because my main lens is the TSE24mmf3.5 and 8-15mm fish eye zoom, plus in Japan , ZE line of Zeiss primes are a bit cheaper than ZF2 line of the same primes(this is the biggest reason I will always have at least one Canon body).
oh almost forgot , for me any body that cannot take my Contax Zeiss and Leica R lenses cannot be my main camera.
I think if the D600 could take my old Contax Zeiss primes, I ‘d get another copy of it , I like that much.

8 months ago |look again… nex is better.. the higher the better……
and sony’s sensors are much better in color depth and dynamic range than canons. moreover 5d3 is much better in low-light iso. so their results make perfect sense.

8 months ago |no, I’ve seen clarity of nex, zeiss 100mp same lens on my 60d gives much more details. I cant ignore what I see, just like point and shoot can never come close to dslr, no matter what megapickles

8 months ago |Dxo measures Color Depth, Dynamic Range and Low-Light ISO — and not details. Details extremly depends on the lens and therefore it makes no sense to use this criterion in a sensor benchmark. However, it is clear that a bigger lens on a bigger sensor gives more details.
(But i don’t believe that 60d with a years old senor has more details than a nex, with a new and even bigger (!) senor, which has more mp)

Well it’s not surprising. For sensor-wise, It is admitted nowadays in the photography industry that Sony’s sensor is absolutely the best.
Nikon D4 uses Aptina’s sensor and got ranked only 89 points, but D800 impressively got 95 with Sony’s sensor.
Now I still enjoy my Canon 7D. However, if I want to move to FF, D600 or D800 will be my top choice surely.

8 months ago |what is best? is it the shadow noise? there is online comparison tool and you can see samples – d600 is not close to 5d3 in noise performanse on any iso, neither d800, it fails in shadows but in other areas it has cleaner output – only bad thing is pixel count, 22 is not enough, for general photography it is more than enough, but you also need to buy zeiss glass, take appropriate post processing techinque, watch out for motion blur, since you need less motion blur you need higher iso, since you need high iso you get more noise than with lower resolution.. but if you only like tech gear you will use mediocre glass and dont care about processing and end up with same result as with lower mp body. If you want to extract all megapickles you need some stabilization and prpoper shooting techinque.
