You don't need to be up on the technical details of digital cameras to see the flaw in a test procedure that uses several different lenses and conversion algorithms to compare sensor sharpness between camera brands. Nikon may take sharper pictures because of a better conversion algorithm, or it may be a higher resolution lens, or it may be something else altogether. If you want to find out who grows the nicest apple, don't throw a banana into the test and say it's an awful apple. William Robb
