Posto qui un link a Nikon rumors dove sono state paragonate le prestazioni ad alti iso tra tre diverse macchine dalla ottime capacita':
Nikon D800 vs. D3s and D7000 comparison by Cary Jordan | Nikon Rumors
Quello che davvero mi lascia perplesso e' come la D7000 stia praticamente alla pari della D800.
So che la D3s sia stata costruita appositamente per poter gestire bene gli alti iso. E il suo punteggio puo' trovare riscontro in foto leggibili anche a iso assurdi.
So che il sensore della D7000 abbia la stessa densita' di quello della D800 quindi in teoria dovrebbero produrre/avere le stesse prestazioni. (salvo trattamenti diversi di alcuni particolari)
Cio' che non capisco e' come su DxO la D800 stia 1700 Punti avati alla D7000! Una marea! Mentre nelle foto mostrate la differenza tra D800 e D7000 e' trascurabile.

Qualcuno mi spiega come si effettuano quei test o perche' la differenza di punteggio non ha riscontro nella praticita'.
Forse chi ha effettuato il test ha commesso qualche errore?
Sports & action photography: Low-Light ISO
Unlike the two previous scenarios in which light is either generous (studio) or stability is assured (landscape), photojournalists and action photographers often struggle with low available light and high motion. Achieving usable image quality is often difficult when pushing ISO.
When shooting a moving scene such as a sports event, action photographers’ primary objective is to freeze the motion, giving priority to short exposure time. To compensate for the lack of exposure, they have to increase the ISO setting, which means the SNR will decrease. How far can they go while keeping decent quality? Our low-light ISO metric will tell them.
The SNR indicates how much noise is present in an image compared to the actual information (signal). The higher the SNR value, the better the image looks, because details aren't drowned by noise. SNR strength is given in dB, which is a logarithmic scale: an increase of 6 dB corresponds to doubling the SNR, which equates to half the noise for the same signal.
An SNR value of 30dB means excellent image quality. Thus low-light ISO is the highest ISO setting for a camera that allows it to achieve an SNR of 30dB while keeping a good dynamic range of 9 EVs and a color depth of 18bits.
A difference in low-light ISO of 25% represents 1/3 EV and is only slightly noticeable.
As cameras improve, low-light ISO will continuously increase, making this scale open.Che ci sia qualche pasticcio nella normalizazione? Mi par strano.Defining viewing conditions for normalizing measurements and scores:
Different DSLRs offer resolutions ranging from about 6 up to 24Mpix (with higher resolutions to come). Higher-resolution sensors offer more detail, but their smaller pixel size often leads to higher noise levels, and consequently to lower dynamic range, tonal range, and color sensitivity. When printing under identical conditions, however, the performance differences can be either mitigated or accentuated by the choice of print size.
When one compares an 8Mpix image with a 32Mpix image printed on identical 20x30cm paper at 300dpi, the measurements for the original image do not give a good indication of the final result. The 8Mpix image will require no interpolation (2300 pixels for 20cm, or roughly 8 inches), while the 32MPix image will have to be reduced significantly, with 4 original pixels averaged into a single pixel. This averaging operation will significantly reduce the noise in the 32Mpix, and accordingly improves the measurements provided for the original resolution.
Original measurements can help gauge image quality when viewed at 100%, but to better predict how prints will compare, we provide a normalized (and thus more reliable) version based on 8Mpix.

Un po' per mancanza di voglia e di cultura,mi sfugge la comprensione di quello che ho visto.
Sapete spiegarmi che succede?
