DxO Labs is now listing the rank order of the image quality of “serious” DSLRs based on their evaluation of sensor performance. You can find the list here.

Nikon holds the two top positions. The D3 followed by the almost affordable D700. The new Canon EOS 5D Mk II came in forth. My current camera, the Nikon D300 came in twelfth. Three Nikons and five Canons in the top ten list. I guess there is a reason for the dominance of these two brands.

The D300 is no longer in the top ten. Does this mean that it is time for me to change my camera?
