How we test the best cameras
We test cameras under strictly controlled laboratory conditions, in real shooting scenarios, and in DSLRs and mirrorless cameras. Our lab tests measure resolution, dynamic range and signal-to-noise ratio. Resolution is measured using the ISO resolution chart, and dynamic range is measured using the DxO Analyzer test equipment, which is also used to analyze noise over the camera’s ISO range. We use field tests and lab results to inform our buying guide reviews. Read more about how we tested and verified in The Digital Camera World Guide (opens in a new tab).
