Finally got to the point where no new camera holds my interest (waiting for specific offering)

Is there any evidence to support that claim? yes. What is it other than rumour or gossip? it's neither of those. Than please share your source. This is no smoking gun, or even a clear accusation, but it does point out a problem: https://www.androidauthority.com/dxo...lesome-805633/ The article has nothing but suspicion of bias and general inuendo. But note that it also says: "Theres no reason to believe DxOMark is in anyway rigging results after-all the companys business model depends on its reputation and its results tend to roughly fit with the broader consensus on camera hardware." I suspect that nospam's views are coloured by suspicion of bias and general innuendo. That and the fact that I doubt he has quite got his head around the fact the DxO's results are not just tests of a lens but _tests_of_a_lens_on_a_specific_camera_. The test results are dependent on not just the qualities of the lens but also the qualities of the camera. I think it might hhave been Neil who touched on this quite recently. This isn't the sort of thing I'd bother arguing about. It would be crazy to rely on one reviewer to make decisiions anyway. If I'm looking for something, I read as many reviews as i can find, and then judge from there. I'm never looking for the "best" in the first place, just something that appears that it would work well for my hobbyist purposes. Anyway, two companies whose software I've had the most problems with are DXO and Arturia. Both French. So the problem is that France sucks. |
