  • DxOMark investigates lenses for the Canon EOS 700D / Rebel T5i

    DxOMark-logo-520.jpg

    Our friends and collaborators over at DxOMark have been looking into how lenses score on specific cameras, and most recently they’ve been examining Canon’s latest SLR, the EOS 700D / Rebel T5i. In an ongoing article they investigate how 130 lenses from Canon, Carl Zeiss, Samyang, Sigma, Tamron and Tokina measure up on the 700D’s 18MP sensor. As this is essentially a variant of the sensor used in every Canon APS-C camera since the EOS 7D in 2009, the article could be of interest to a lot of Canon users.

    Our friends and collaborators over at DxOMark have recently been looking into how lenses score on specific cameras, and the latest model they’ve examined is the Nikon D600. In a three-part article published at the end of last week, they investigate how 70 lenses from Carl Zeiss, Nikon, Samyang, Sigma, Tamron and Tokina measure up on the D600’s 24MP sensor.  The article also compares how given lenses score on the D600 compared to the 36MP D800 and 24MP D3X.

    We just published the DxOMark Mobile Report for the Sony Xperia Z on connect.dpreview.com and the results don’t look fantastic. DxO’s imaging experts have analyzed 14 aspects of mobile imaging including detailed image quality assessment, flash performance, autofocus reliability and more to calculate a final score and the Sony scores lower than most of its competitors. We will start working on our evaluation once we receive a review unit at DPR Connect but for now click through to find out how the Sony Xperia Z’s camera performed in the DxO lab tests.

    DxO Labs has tested 85 lenses on the Canon EOS 5D Mark III and analysed the results, looking at its two proprietary measures: ‘Perceptual Megapixels’ for lens sharpness, and the overall DxOMark score. In the first section of a multi-part series, it makes comparisons against both the EOS 5D Mark II and the Nikon D800, with results that may be surprising.

    DxOMark has tested 61 lenses on the Nikon D800, and drawn some conclusions about the results. So far it has published two sections of an eventual four-part article: the first discusses how much benefit the D800’s 36MP sensor really offers over the 24MP chips in cameras such as the D3X and D600, while the second looks at which lenses in the 50-100mm range come out with the best DxOMark scores. Further parts later this month will look at telephoto and wideangle lenses. Click through for the link.

  • DxOMark introduces ‘Perceptual MPix’ score for lens sharpness

    dxomark_logo.png

    DxOMark has introduced a new metric of lens sharpness that it’s calling the ‘Perceptual MegaPixel’. This is designed to give a simple, easily-understandable indication of how a lens impacts on the resolution of the camera with which it’s paired. The measurement is based on standard MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) testing, but also takes into account the sensitivity of the human visual system to detail. The data can be explored over at the DxOMark website.

  • 15 December, 2012 – DxOMark Camera Sensor Explained

    One of the most quoted camera metrics these days is DxOMark Camera Sensor, a number and indeed a series of numbers for quantifying camera sensor performance. But many people don’t really understand what the numbers signify.

    With his second essay on the subject to appear on this site Peter van den Hammer gives us an in-depth look at how to interpret what DxOMark Camera Sensor means.
