"We’ve had an important internal change as well: In September, DxOMark Image Labs was spun off from DxO Labs. DxOMark Image Labs is now a privately-owned, independent company. As such, we continue to pursue the development and commercialization of image quality solutions and services that support our customers in designing the best-quality camera systems for a range of markets, including smartphones, DSC/DSLRs, drones, action cams, surveillance, and automotive."
Now, DxOMark reports are supposed to be more objective and less affected by DxO Labs products, such as DxO One camera.
This is funny! "DxOMark reports are supposed to be more objective and less affected by DxO Labs products"
ReplyDeleteTo which one has to ask, does this mean in the past they were NOT objective and affected by DxO Lab products? Anyway, I am guessing there remains a financial COI between the two entities.
@ To which one has to ask, does this mean in the past they were NOT objective and affected by DxO Lab products?
DeleteWell, suppose Apple creates AppleMark site that evaluates and gives scores to its own and competitor's products. Wouldn't you suspect they are not really objective?
Of course! I always thought there were biases and conflicts of interest for various financial reasons. Early on I was concerned about technical depth of understanding there as well. But, they always claimed they were unbiased and objective, and technical experts.
DeleteAnd now they will generate revenue in what way that leaves them unbiased and objective?
ReplyDeleteYeah, right... Like when evaluating the CMOSes they never took into account the amplifiers, ADCs and generally the camera logics into account when comparing. That makes it amazingly stupid to evaluate the same way and it's like putting the same score grade to apples and bananas.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy reading the lenses evaluations though. There is hardly space for "interpretations".
Oh, and I can hardly believe that the Apple sensor is better than the Samsung one. And I am with an iPhone...
