Official EOS 1D X DXOMark score released: 82/100

Listen, I get this. I understand what you're saying about shooting six-stops under, then pushing in post in order to achieve a certain result. I also understand the difference between exposure, and the brightness of the file output, and that those are two different things.

But this also tells me that anyone who truly believes that this is good technique, is NOT a working professional who works on location with PAYING clients. If I showed my clients an image of an almost black scene of their wedding pics on the day of, then said "Oh, I know it looks dark, but just wait until I adjust it later", They would probably get pretty blood nervous about my capabilities, and would most likely want to see the final results a lot sooner, and wouldn't pay their final payments until I did show them the results. Not to mention, the guy who does my colour corrections would think I had a stroke while shooting.

Fine for some photographers, who have every luxury when it comes to time and post production technique. Not cool for someone who has more professional tightropes to walk.
