The Nikon D850 isn’t actually the first DSLR to be assigned a DxOMark score of 100+. The medium format Pentax 645Z was actually awarded a ridiculously high score of 101 back in 2015, but it’s unofficial because that review has never been published.
The score appeared inside DxOMark’s review of the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1R II […]. petapixel.com
If you dive into the comments on the recent news of the Nikon D850's chart-topping DxOMark score of 100, you'll notice a trend: people claiming that the Pentax 645Z actually scored 101 way back in 2015. dpreview.com »

It's been a couple weeks of amazing camera phone tests over at DxOMark. First the iPhone 8 Plus beat all former phones with a score of 94. Then the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 came in and earned the same overall score, beating the iPhone 8 Plus in the Photo category but falling short in Video. dpreview.com »

With an overall DxOMark score of 86 it's better than Apple's previous best score of 84 for the iPhone 6s Plus. dpreview.com »

We will be releasing an upcoming series of articles on infrared photography that I've been slowly working through the last few weeks, and this amusingly popped up in the list of patent applications published.
In this patent application (2024-019961) Canon shows off a high-speed stacked sensor using three substrate layers. As you can imagine, sensor layers are like a house, the more floors you have the more flexibility you have, and the more room.
Five years ago, the first thing manufacturers talked about when launching a new camera was the sensor. Megapixels made headlines along with backlit designs and sensor stacking. But, has all that changed? Looking at technical tests and rankings like those from DxO Mark, half of all the top ten full frame cameras are more than three years old.
More and more photographers are demanding durable cameras. But what they've also been asking for are brass cameras. The only brands to really do something like this in the past two decades have been Pentax and Leica.
A couple of patent applications caught my eye over the last week – and of course, with me traveling and living out of a suitcase right now I filed it in my head to revisit. These two patents show some unique pixel structures that we are not used to seeing from Canon.
Fujifilm X-H2 is a camera with one of the highest resolving APS-C sensors currently on the camera market. When you combine that with certain film simulations, photos will just look naturally sharper.
In the late 2000s, the camera industry had healthy competition that actually stood out from one another. The Nikon D700 and its relatives used 12MP sensors that tried to give the best high ISO output.
