A99 tested on DXO - score: 89

I agree.

I was hoping for much more on the SNR scale. 
Oh well.. so long as the A99 matches or exceeds the K-5 in terms of low light performance, I'll be fine. Though I must say, the low light rating really doesn't seem to match the samples that have come out since the A99 was introduced(very odd).
