ISO Performance from DxO Lab

Nikon tops low light ISO testing from DxO Lab.
"The Low-light ISO metric indicates the highest ISO sensitivity to which the camera can be set while maintaining a high quality, low-noise image (based on a Signal-to-Noise-Ratio [SNR] of 30dB and a dynamic range of 9EVs)."

While the D300 high ISO performance is very good, I have always been unsatisfied with its ISO beyond 1600 and hence the upgrade to the D700. This chart confirms the huge gap between the Nikon D300 and Nikon D700.
