I do wonder how they did the D600 already but are still waiting on the 1DX !
Based on how quickly DxoMark produced their results Nikon must have sent them an early sample to test, expecting it to perform well naturally. Other camera manufacturers may not have a similar incentive and so DxO must acquire those cameras themselves
Canon won't send their new cameras to DXO, because they know exactly how bad their own sensors are, in comparison to Nikon's
Nikon on the other hand, knows how awesome their sensors are, so of course they happily send their cameras to DXO for evaluation.
The day Canon creates a good sensor that they feel they can be proud of, with a good bump in DR and resolution, I am sure they will send their new camera to DXO.
ISO D600=2900 vs 5dii 2300 is a tie. They are 1/4 stop or less apart. And 5diii was better at iso 6400 than D800, even with similar specs so it may just be a arbitrary measurement difference.
Dynamic Range 14 D600 vs 12 is significant but 14 is still to small for me and blending with auto-bracket is my usual practice, so does not much matter to me.
Equal on fps.
About equal on pixels within noise.
Focus ?? 5diii is pretty darn good. Likely better
Then there is the fact that Nikon does not work well with the best lens 600v2, 24TS. Canon wins.
And lastly the soft stuff. I used autobracketing on d800 and it sucked. It did not give option of 3 stops at 3 pictures. C1,C2,C3 equivalent on nikon sucked.The feel of the d800 was worse too. My point is that ergonomics count too.
Which takes me to my point. They are close enough that it won't change the outcome unless you are new to the competition (and don't have any lens) and most people new to the competition are buying a d7000 or T3i.
But I love the fact that it willl cause canon to step up its game soon. Next year I will have my choice of 40mpx 5div and d700v2 with much better stats.

Precisely.
But you should know that Phil and a few others are just trolling every discussion about dynamic range and shadow noise. He is obviously upset about Canon's lack of sensor improvement / Nikon's huge advantage, but instead of admitting this, he keeps trolling everyone who says they want better DR performance. I am guessing it is some kind of psychological defense mechanism, triggered by emotional gear investment.. Yes it is wierd, I know!

This just proves that you havent bothered to read or understand his posts, you really need to take a step back and have a good look at yourself.
Yeah, the Nikon D600 whips the Canon silly in Image quality. No surprise there. Nikon's sensors are all a chip of the same block or should we say a cut of the same wafer.
