When looking at the table of all cameras at senscore.com it only confirms the results from DXOmark. Senscore is adding resolution power (or megapixels of the sensor) to the calculation and despite the highest resolution power of the new Canon 5Ds line of cameras they are only in number 7 and 10 on this list and then the list does not show Canon again until Canon 1DX in 18th place and Canon 6D and 5DIII are number 19 and 20 on this list. And this relatively good Canon score is partly because this website has not yet rated some other new camera models like Sony A7rII and Sony A7II. Other cameras in top 31 on this list are all Nikon and Sony. So to me this looks very consistent with the results of DXOmark.

Sony and Nikon sensors have a lot in common. And, there is a reason for this, isn't there.

Sometimes we try to compare things we shouldn't.
For twenty years i thought the sensor was scanned to storage, dot by dot.
Then one day a nasty mean person informed me that the only thing stored was the camera manufacturers interpretation of the sensor data.
I used to think a sony 24mp sensor was a 24mp sensor but then i found out sensors are normally modified for specific cameras.
There are a lot of things going on between the light and the file that us common folk just are not going to be told.

I'm going to suggest that the sales numbers are irrelevant to what information is being conveyed here. This is not a popularity contest, I believe it to be a quasi-objective ranking of camera capability. By way of analogy, there are probably more BIC lighters sold than any other brand, but that doesn't necessarily mean BIC is the "best".
So, when I hear that there are far more Canon cameras being sold the than Nikon, does this include P&S, Bridge and such, along with DSLRs? I don't think Nikon has nearly as many P&S, Bridge or "other" offerings besides DSLRs.

What would the sales numbers be like if we were to include DSLR cameras only? Just curious :|

I think there is a strong correlation between DXOMark and SENSCORE, however the test methods are different and each value certain characteristics differently than the other.

For example, resolving power does not seem to contribute significantly to the senscore overall score based on their top cameras.

But that's the beauty of data, one can choose what's important rather than accept opinions and conclusions.

Yep!

I will say however, that Nikon gets a heckova lot more out of the SAME sensors than Sony does though. ;)
