Are these scores reliable? I just got through pulling up scores on the T1i, T2i, 50D and 7D...I also threw in the Nikon D5000 to see how it compared, with the Nikon scoring the best in all categories and my a significant margin. Do these scores really mean anything...and no I am not trolling as I am a canon owner myself.

I have never paid any attention whatsoever to any piece of garbage that site has crapped out, for what it's worth. And I've never been disappointed with any of my gear until being led to that site and seeing Nikon dominate everything.

Didn't something ridiculous like a d80 beat a 1d Mark III in one of their tests?

DXO always seems to have rather weird results to me. And yes according to their results the Nikon D90 and the D5000 are ranked ahead of the 1D mkIII:shock:

DxO scores are meaningless to how same size prints from the various cameras will look. For the vast bulk of photographers they are worse than useless.

If somebody invented a 1200x800 pixel full-frame sensor then the DxO test would explode when trying to give a score of infinty. It's mathematical pixel-peeping taken to the extreme.
