I have been measuring sensor characteristics since before DxOMark even existed.
One of my tests, Photographic Dynamic Range (PDR), is analogous to DxOMark Landscape Dynamic Range (values differ my a fixed amount).
Two others give data that you can't get there, like read noise and Fixed Pattern Noise (FPN).

All it takes is for you to cooperate with me in gathering certain raw images.
(The number varies depending on how many ISO settings your camera has.)

For Samsung I only have data for the NX1 and the NX10.
(In contrast I have every Nikon DSLR and many Canons.)
So if you own any other model and would like to "pitch in" send me email (at the bottom of my site) or a Private Message (PM).

TIA,

Why not go out and enjoy taking photos instead of lens data number crunching. I'd rather trust my eyes than compare these obscure lab values. Just an idea. Have fun with whatever You like.
