Is DxOmark reliable source of comparing cameras in low-light performance?
I've bought my first DSLR few months ago to check whether i'll get into it or not. It was cheapest thing i could find (canon 350d) and i have a looot of fun with this thing - now i like shooting at night and i'd love to try video recording with proper optics, so i'm thinking about upgrade.
I'm thinking about 50d - it looks like a proper camera with its good viewfinder, 'weatherproofness' and other things that gives impression of heavy-duty piece of equipment that could serve me for years and years, but then i'm checking 'performance' numbers and i see this.
Is 50d really so insignificantly better in low-light than my $70 350d? Almost every APS-C canon i see (except single-number models like 7d, and 7d is beaten by some low-end nikon d3200) have similar iso performance numbers on this site. Or should i, like, divide iso noise by resolution to get true low-light performance?
