DxOMark has finally published test results for the D800 sensor, and the resulting interest has predictably crashed their servers.

The results are more or less as expected: superb low-ISO dynamic range, mid-tone signal-to-noise ratio about as good as the D4/D3S (but achieved at the expense of some colour fidelity), and high-ISO dynamic range (i.e. practical low-light performance) clearly behind the D4/D3S but ahead of the D3/D700.

Definitely the sensor of the moment for anyone who typically works under ISO 800 and doesn't need more than 4 frames per second. Er, that describes me!
