[QUOTE="Woodyg3, post: 631160, member: 24569"] DXO tests baffle me. I have the D7200 and the D500 and I know that I get slightly better low light pictures at higher ISOs with the D500. It's not a big difference, but it is noticeable. Also, their overall score is pretty silly. There is so much more to any camera than the three things they test for and use for their ratings. It's like testing a car for just 0-60 mph, horsepower, and braking distance. What about handling, control layout, reliability, gas milage, etc.? With cameras, I want to know focus speed and accuracy, for instance. That's not a part of DXOs overall test scores, but it varies greatly with camera make and model. Comparing a new DSLR with a six year old model that is no longer made is kind of silly in these times of rapidly advancing technology, too. Okay, DXO rant over. :) [/QUOTE]
