DxoMark\'s tests are flawed. Look at the 20d and 30d; same sensor yet there is a big difference. Then look at the 5d classic compared to the rest of canon\'s lineup. Sorry, their tests are meaningless.
If you look at the curves they are VERY similar, it looks like canon may have adjusted the rated ISO sensitivities though so comparing per ISO they look different, but comparing per equal sensitivity the curves are pretty close.
and who says they might not have changed amps or whatnot even the sensor is the same?
500D has less pattern banding than 50D and appears to use more or less the same sensor.
I think their results are generally pretty solid (although the 12800->25600 1.4 stop drop on the 5D2 makes no sense)
