Canon EOS-1 DX: The best of Canon’s full-frame sensors
Wednesday, October 31, 2012 Camera Review| Introduction | Measurement | Comparisons | Conclusion |
A sports-worthy low-light performer
The increased focus on low-light performance seems to have paid off: The Canon EOS-1D X’s DxOMark Sports Score (based on low-light ISO), was among the best of all Canon DSLR sensors tested so far and close to that of the best-scoring sensor, the Nikon D3s, which scored a 3253 ISO compared to the 1D X’s 2786 ISO. In fact, a difference in low-light ISO of 25 percent represents 1/3 EV and is only slightly noticeable, so the difference between the Nikon D3s and the 1D X is even less so.
As Canon’s flagship professional DSLR, the 1D X’s DxOMark Overall Score of 82 is the highest of Canon’s full-frame sensors, scoring equivalently to both the new midrange Canon 5D Mark III (which received an 81) and Canon’s previous image quality winner, the 1Ds Mark III (which received an 80), but trails full-frame DSLRs from Nikon, such as the Nikon D800E and D800, which scored significantly higher at 96 and 95 respectively, as did the Nikon D4 (89), which is the 1D X’s closest competitor.
Relatively poor performance on the DxOMark Landscape Score (based on dynamic range) no doubt accounts for the weaker overall score. The 1D X’s score of 11.8 Evs is well below the highest scoring DSLRs with a good 53 cameras scoring higher, including the Nikon D4.

you are not sincere
if you click here, and understand Italian, you can see that your assessment of the noise and dynamic range is too sbilanciat in favor of NIKON.
In Reala is better the Canon ...... http://www.reflex.it/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Camera-TEST_Eos1Dx.pdf http://www.reflex.it/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Camera-TEST_Nikon-D4.pdf Reply |

1DX
Per coloro che la cura
mi è stata inviata una e-mail sostenendo i risultati dei test DXOMark di EOS-1D Canon X Saranno loro quelli veri ??????????? DxO punteggio: 90 DR: 12,8 Profondità colore: 24,9 bit ISO: 3296 Reply | Read all replies for this comment |

Re: 1DXQuote: <div id="linkdxomark">This a comment for <a href="http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/Cameras/Camera-Sensor-Database/Canon/EOS-1Dx">this page on the website</a></div>Per coloro che la cura mi è stata inviata una e-mail sostenendo i risultati dei test DXOMark di EOS-1D Canon X Saranno loro quelli veri ??????????? DxO punteggio: 90 DR: 12,8 Profondità colore: 24,9 bit ISO: 3296 DxO prova solo il sensore, o meglio, mettono in evidenza solo le caratteristiche del sensore che possono portare vantaggi alle fotocamere che loro sponsorizzano. La stessa cosa la fanno con gli obiettivi: io ho avuto il 70-200 f2.8 L USM, il 70-200 f2.8 L IS USM e adesso ho il 70-200 f2.8 II L IS USM e posso affermare con certezza che le immagini scattate con l'ultimo nato in casa Canon sono migliori già da una prima e veloce occhiata a monitor. Loro affermano che era meglio il vecchio. Conoscendo la qualità e serietà di Canon nel garantire uniformità sui prodotti (a differenza di Nikon) dubito fortemente che siano incappati in un pezzo difettoso. e' più probabile che siano i loro strumenti (o le loro menti) ad essere difettose. La differenza su NIKON, almeno in Italia, la noti subito: mancanza di rapidità degli interventi, risposte elusive a fronte di richieste di chiarimenti, prodotti non all'altezza (almeno fino a una decina di anni fa cioè da quando sono passato a Canon). Non c'è paragone Canon è su un'altro pianeta sia come qualità costruttiva che come assistenza tecnica. Reply |

Re: EOS-1D X
Well, you have a camera as this page is more suitable for landscape, what does not fit is that you can not take these pictures with your camera better for landscapes.
http://500px.com/photo/15129803 http://500px.com/photo/8550507 http://500px.com/photo/8663004 http://www.flickr.com/photos/bencanales/7699030104/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/lesnafi/6750723953/ Look at the photos that are taken with these cameras so bad according to DXO, does not seem true scores, but makes people happy on a website say that your camera is better, or worse yet, buy a camera so says a website. ;) Reply |

Not surprised
I haven't used a high-end camera from any brand, but I know that the sensor performance from Nikon's low-end is a LOT better than what Canon's low-end offers. So I don't find the 1DX scores surprising either, but I am disappointed nevertheless because I was hoping that Canon might finally work on their sensor. Having said that, the low-light performance is something to write home about.

Re: New TEST
I wish they will just close down this web site instead of letting it operate in such an appalling and irresponsible way.
Cameras especially the earlier ones are not being reviewed. I wonder what is the purpose of their web site now ? ? ! ! ! A humane action is to close this website down ........... Reply |

I can not believe
If you follow the results of this page, a Nikon D5100 is better than a 5DMarkIII, and is at the same level of a 1DX or medium format cameras, is incredible, this more than a house of analysis seems the advertising company Nikon & Sony. More and more voices are raised against the results of this website. Nikon camera you use images to promote your software. Interestingly most professional photographers lining the 500px sales, and have a great reputation ignore these results and continue to use mostly Canon or HB for their customers. I am also disappointed with the fact that now you may become responsible for the analysis Dpreview.com lenses, Nikon surely be the best in reverse of what everyone already knows. Kind regards.

Re: I can not believe
I think you'll find it's around the other way. Canon is a marketing powerhouse - they probably spend more advertising than Nikon even makes in a year. This is the #1 reason why everyone wants Canon cameras. When the company with the biggest marketing budget also uses the best sensors then DXOmark will no longer go against the grain.
The objective results here do have real-world implications. Take a D5100 and a 7D out at sunset and the dynamic range difference is immediately obvious. You'll also find that you have to put the 7D to bed half an hour earlier. It's really no surprise to read the figures on this site if you use both cameras together. Finally, the one thing everyone agrees on is that individual results are more useful than 'overall score'. For example the 5DmkIII absolutely smokes the D5100 in noise, which is what you'd expect. The overall score is too dependent on the weighting given to each category. For example Canon doesn't seem to value dynamic range whereas this DXOmark weights it quite heavily. Reply |

Re: I can not believe
Read reviews of this analysis, and search the web, Nikon DxOLabs favors. Not me, says many people, just look in google. And no one in the world to see the results of this house, just put a number, any sample image, and explain how they obtained the result of that test through the images. Result is a completely opaque, and put consumer cameras above the best professionals, gentlemen, this is completely unbelievable and untrue.
Examples: Is it better a Nikon D800 for landscapes that a Phase One IQ180 Digital Back? The answer is NO, no way. Is it better a Nikon D5100 a 5DmarkII for landscapes? The answer is NO. And for portraits, are matched? NOT. Is the Nikon D800 ISO performance better than 5DMarkIII? It is also false, in fact the Nikon is worth to cover sporting events, I know professionals who have confirmed. I could go on with a long list of scores that are out of logic but I have work, each buy what you want. P.S. Forgive the possible lack of writing, use a translator. Reply |

By replacing two predecessors with the Canon EOS-1D X, its new flagship professional DSLR, Canon hopes to deliver both the top-notch image quality of the studio-oriented Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III and the superfast performance of the Canon EOS 1D Mark IV sports shooter. A compromise of sorts between speed and image quality, the 1D X manages to deliver enough improvements to satisfy both markets. |
