I’m looking for websites that compare digital cameras specifically by technical image quality, using some kind of consistent testing procedure rather than just specs or general user impressions. Are there any reliable sites that do this?

The website dpreview.com has detailed reviews that include sample images. You can preview sample images from various models to get an idea of the results each produce.
Also, check out flickr.com you can see images sorted by camera that took them as well.
(The links I provided are for viewing results for the Nikon D90)

Yes. A few commonly recommended resources are:
- DPReview: Their reviews are very detailed and usually include controlled sample images and side-by-side comparisons, which can help you judge image quality across models.
- DxOMark: They publish lab-style measurements for camera sensors and camera/lens combinations, aimed at objective image-quality comparison.
- Flickr: Not a lab test site, but browsing images by camera model can show real-world results from actual users.
- Snapsort: Useful for broad camera comparisons, though it’s more of a buying comparison tool than a pure image-quality testing resource.
That said, measured image quality is only part of choosing a camera. Handling, lens options, autofocus, low-light needs, zoom range, and the type of photography you do often matter just as much as lab results.
