This was interesting, not that I understood it all.

I have done several searches, and could not find this having been posted, hope I did not miss it.

DXO rates a D90 higher than a D300. Dpreview says that no way is a D90 a cut price D300. Who do you want to believe?

With lenses, MTF charts are not everything. Probably the same is true of some of these measured sensor characteristics like S/N ratios.

It's cool how the D3 is only $50 USD more than the D2Xs, while it's $2300 USD more than the D2X.

Tom, there have been at least two threads on this on the Cafe: starting Nov.28th here and Nov. 21st here.

I noticed that too. Looking at some of the stats of other cameras in comparison, I wondered on a few of them why they were rated where they were.

The searches of DXO, camera rating, and sensors ratings, returned nothing

I agree, the search feature on the Cafe leaves much to be desired. I happened to notice these threads when they started.
