No I'm definitely not missing the point.

Since DXOMark uses similar testing methods for all cameras, the fact that the ISO value scores lower than the stated value, for this particular camera and brand (compared to other cameras and brands), should mean something however.

All I'm concerned with is that DXOMark have consistent testing methods for all cameras, which, they do. It gives me an indication of what is going on under the shell.

Nuff said on this topic though :).

Never enough said

The difference is most likely due to DxO testing say a middle grey exposure and the camera makers use thousands of real images taken in the field under all conditions and then set/declare their ISO to better protect highlights.

Never an issue, nobody is telling lies, just use the camera and adjust to personal taste.
