The long awaited DXO-mark lab test is now out for the sensor in the new 24 MP Nikon D5200 DSLR. They claim it tested higher than that of any other crop sensor DSLR camera of any brand that they have ever tested. Check it out....type in search...DXO-mark lab test...Nikon D5200.

The crazy thing is that it's the first Toshiba-made sensor that Nikon has used in a dSLR (I think) and bam - knocked it out of the park from the get-go.

Toshiba and Sony have been sharing CMOS production facilities for years. (Toshiba makes the image sensor in Sony's PS3.) If that particular D5200 happened to have a Toshiba sensor in it, it was almost certainly manufactured under license from Sony.

I just can't wait to see what Canon comes up with to counter what Nikon has done. Don't you just love the megapixel wars ? It's almost funny. After about 12 to 16 megapixels or less you can't see the difference anyway.

and just recently they said the sensor on the Pemtax K-5ii and K-5iis were the best APS-C on the market. How quickly things change in the camera world

'Full Frame' is the new 'Medium Format'. A good camera helps a good photographer; it doesn't make one. If you're going to use a filter, make it a good one.
