[QUOTE="Jerry_, post: 605692, member: 34209"] Some time ago I did a comparison based on a some cameras, these included the following camerabodies: - D610 (FX sensor, 24MP, EXPEED 3 processor), - D5300 (DX sensor, 24MP, EXPEED 4 processor), - D5100 (DX sensor, 16MP, EXPEED 2 processor), - Nikon 1 J5 (CX sensor, 21MP, EXPEED 5A processor) All captures have been taken with the Micro Nikkor 60/2.8, the camerabodies being installed on a tripod, which was kept in the same place (i.e. Having an almost identical distance between the lens front and the balls) As regards overall lightconditions, these captures were taken in the late evening (dark outside) with only few light shedding in through a window. The only - and dominant - lightsource was a single led as shown below, but whose lens focussed most of the light to the (white) ceiling. [img]http://i.imgur.com/OdgFFhb.jpg[/img] Before starting with the low light captures, here are some taken with a flash (ringflash mounted on the lens) - this may also give some extra understanding of the crop factor resulting from the different sensors (FX, DX, CX) D610 - full frame sensor so a crop factor of 1 (i.e. No crop) [img]http://i.imgur.com/2Mkt8D7.jpg[/img] D5300 - DX sensor with a crop factor of 1.5, giving the 60mm the same angle of view than a 90mm on a full frame sensor [img]http://i.imgur.com/ClbWJ3Z.jpg[/img] D5100 - DX sensor with a crop factor of 1.5, giving the 60mm the same angle of view than a 90mm on a full frame sensor [img]http://i.imgur.com/ZuKlyZI.jpg[/img] Nikon 1 J5 - CX sensor with a crop factor of 2.7, giving the 60mm the same angle of view than a 162mm on a full frame sensor [img]http://i.imgur.com/g5EKZSH.jpg[/img] Stepping up the ISO started at ISO 100 and was doubled for each extra step (i.e. 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400, 12800, 25600). Captures have been taken with a 1s exposure and a 5.6 aperture (I didn't want to play with all the benefits of the 2.8 aperture, that the lens has, both to get into high ISO, as well as having some extra DOF). With the given lightconditions and these settings it was only starting at ISO800 that one can identify some structures on the non processed captures. So the first series shown here is at ISO1600.

No other processing than adding the watermark and converting to JPG was done. Checking the different captures one can easily see when the different sensors start to add noise or loose DR. Overall, with no surprise, FX performs best as sensors, and so do more recent processors. What I didn't/couldn't add at that moment in this comparison was the D500.
