Pentax K-5 dpreview score 83 above 5D M3 and D800; how come?

Not defending the method at all but everyone needs to know how the numbers are derived in order to understand the conclusions.

Infact, one of the things that I like about DxO reporting is that you can view the results at pixel level, (which reflects 100% crops), or for a normalized 8mp image which takes into account the sensor resolution. Neither way is right or wrong as both measurements can be useful when trying to compare sensor performance.
