Nikon D300 and Canon 40D sensor Comparison
This report contains results of a quantitative analysis of the Canon 40D and Nikon D300 DSLR’s, from the standpoint of sensor capabilities. Images were taken with the Canon 100-400L IS lens on the 40D and the Nikon 80-400VR lens on the D300. Several measurements were undertaken: Sensor read noise, dynamic range, quantum efficiency, and relative sensitivities. Nikon D300’s quantum efficiency is a 35% improvement over Nikon D200’s. I’m expecting both the measured resolution and noise of the Nikon D300 to slightly exceed that of the 40D when the test data are in. One thing stands out from this excellent report is that, Nikon D3 is really good.
