"The Nikon D850 is a full-frame DSLR camera with a first-ever
back-illuminated image sensor for vast image quality improvement.
The sensor was the first to achieve 100 points on DXO."


dxo numbers are meaningless and 100 is not perfect. the scores can (and
do) go higher).

the iphone x achieved a 101, as did the pentax and hasselblad medium
format cameras, and you can be certain that they don't produce the same
image quailty. the red helium scored 108.

they also rated the nikon d850 with 14.8 stops of dynamic range, a
mathematical impossibility.

dxo is best ignored.


Especially when they link lens quality to performance based on the sensor it's in front of. Ask any professional optician if lenses "change" quality magically.
In other words, you can slap a Zeiss OTUS lens on a old Panasonic G1 10mp m4/3rds and pronounce it the worst lens yet tested. That's DXO.

DXO tests combinations and if you think camera/sensor plays no part in
image quality you want your head read.

dxo's accounts receivable plays the largest part in their tests.
