Nikon Z9 DxO Mark Score Lower than D850 and Z7 II
Post Date:2022-04-14

 

DxO Mark released the sensor test scores of the popular flagship, the Nikon Z9. Z9 got an overall score of 98 which ties with Sony Alpha A1 and 1 point better than the Canon EOS R3.

What is more interesting is that the overall score of the Z9 is lower than both Nikon D850, Nikon Z7 Mark II and Nikon Z7. We take sensor test scores with a grain of salt but have to say that DxO makes the most consistent and scientific tests in this area in our opinion.
