[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 331916, member: 9240"] [I](Note: The D600 and D800 are about even in terms of where they are with high ISO noise, both from my experience and from what DxOMark says, so it doesn't matter which one you want to compare it to, but I've shot more low light with the D600, so I speak to it.)[/I] Depends on what you're jumping from. I personally wouldn't measure the differences between the sensor types purely in those terms, [I]but[/I] if you want me to limit my discussion of the differences to just ISO noise, speaking from experience my D600 at ISO 6400 is "cleaner" than my D7000 was at ISO 1600 in most situations, so we're talking 2+ stops. I'd put my D7100 at about a 1-stop disadvantage. Most of the current generation DX cameras seem to be on a par with the D7100 in terms of ISO noise, at least according to DxOMark, with the D7100 actually scoring slightly below both the D3300 and D5300. So, in general, you're talking 1 stop difference for ISO noise. Go back a generation or three and it's a whole 'nother ball of wax. That said, there are [I]many[/I] other factors that must be considered when comparing the sensor types and if you look hard enough around here you'll find many of us have already expounded on them to great degree - so put your physics hat on and start looking.
