After the DxO Labs bankruptcy, DxOMark is back and the first camera they tested is the Nikon Z6:
“The Nikon Z 6 24.5 BSI-CMOS sensor achieves an overall DxOMark score of 95 points. Its key strength is its low-light ISO (Sports) score of 3299 ISO, which ranks it closely with the best of the commercially-available 24 MP sensors we’ve tested, and making it a “must-have” when light levels tumble and high ISOs are the order of the day.”
Here are the test results/comparisons (click for larger view):
I do not have any updates on the rumored Nikon D6 camera. I just wanted to remind you that the previous D6 rumors came from a photographer close to Nikon who claimed on a public forum that the new D6 will be available for testing in February.
If you have any information on the Nikon D6, you know how to contact me anonymously.
