Digital Home Thoughts: DxOMark Declares D800 for Best Camera Imaging Sensor

"The two Nikon full-frame cameras, the D800 and the D4, occupy the top two places in the full-frame category. Simple and efficient. Still, be careful: as ever, in this review we are discussing only the D800’s RAW-image-based sensor results."
