DxO ONE real-world sample gallery

i will laugh my socks off if the iphone 7 has a different connector

I keep looking at this thing after forgetting about it and thinking things like "that's not such a bad camera and the integration is reasonable. I could totally get..." except then I see the $600 price which is at least 3x too expensive for this kinda iphone gizmo.

No thanks.

only iPhone owners would buy that. Oh right...

Nice pix. Excellent use of the focal length. Great compositions

Ι cannot understand the reason for this cam...
Maybe for the hype..?

These are bad, dark, low dynamic range, bland, uninspiring photos.

The photos immediately convinced me to NOT buy the DXO ONE Camera.

I would rather carry a Sony RX100 II camera with me.
1. It would be much quicker to use for candid photos
2. It allows external flash to improve people photos and to improve lighting of the dark portions of the photos.
3. It has the same resolution as the DXO ONE Camera. I
4. It is as easily pocketed as the DOX ONE Camera.

I would also rather use an iPhone 6S PLUS for photography since at 12 megapixels, it would do a better job than the DXO ONE.

Yawn

By the time I've taken the dxo out of my pocket, connect it to the iphone, launch the app and get to shooting, I've already missed the shot.

The DxO One seems like a marketing miss to me. iPhone only (not the market share leader), fixed lens at an odd focal length, high priced for its limits, 1" sensor, fiddly delicate connector, etc. Is there really a market for this that won't give another 100gtrams for a Rx100? is OK with the 1" sensor but not with the native iPhone camera? and won't object to $600 for what is clearly a very limited product?

But trying to understand the hype made me stumble across the Olympus Air One. Bit lower priced, choice of lenses including several small zooms, bigger senor, works with most anything apparently, etc. and even open source.
*That* looks interesting even if it is still limited in many ways.

DxO makes excellent software...stick to this. When software companies venture out into the hardware world, it seldom works out. Lose the hardware and continue doing what you do best...making very good photo software. There's waaay more money in it.

I don't see this camera doing any better job than my Samsung Note 4's camera. This is yet another solution in search of a problem.

Jim

Overpriced gadget with fixed lens that requires overpriced phone. And not any cheaper than standalone camera with same sensor and zoom lens with same max aperture.

Who in right mind will buy this? Apple users? They may be stupid but they will then think iPhone cameras are awesome and won't buy this..

I wouldn't even buy that for $100...but maybe for 50 bucks. :)

I had the DXO one for a week and back to DXO it went...
It's a good effort but the flimsy lightning connector holding it all together is going to be a big problem. This is a good camera for when you have the time to "stop" whatever you are doing and take a photo. It's not fast enough to get out of your pocket, flip the lens cover, try align the lightning connector to the phone and hope the DXO app will open by itself, which only worked half of the time.
Once you are on the app, focusing takes for ever and it there is a lot of focus hunting in dim light. Once the focus is achieved, the jpg mode is pretty fast but forget about RAW or Super Raw which take seconds to process.
Photo quality is pretty good, but without an optical zoom, it will not replace a real point and shoot costing half the price.
I really liked the color rendition, the sharpness and bokeh. The photos look pretty "professional" but the dynamic range was really bad compared to my iPhone 6+.
Not for me. Cheers

Yay for having pictures from London again! This camera is of zero interest to me though.

Those $599 are better spent on a used RX100 III. You're welcome.

Honestly... integrity... and transparency are DXO's 3 main mottos... How dare any of you chastise them for distorting sensor scores... A camera of this caliber comes around only once in a generation... if you're lucky... :)

You put a sensor and a lens on a phone. Then you attach another sensor and a lens. What is the next phase? Mount another lens on DxO-One?

Possibly the shallowest DOF per cubic inch in your pocket.

The results so far make me think that $600 is a lot to pay for what are very ordinary looking results. Maybe it will suit someone.

Will DXO's crappy little camera score as poorly as other smaller-sensored camera do on its own test?

Thank you very much for adding out of Camera JPEGs and processed RAW equivalents side-by-side! It does help get a better idea of realistic results without any work and with some post processing work.
Looks quite good for such a tiny attachment.

this thing keeps turning up like a bad penny everywhere I turn, it's highly impractical, over priced, so why so much press coverage? Do you get phone insurance with this? I bet allot of people will need phones repaired or replaced when damaged by accidents using this, and what happens to this when apple switches out the port with the new usb connector? oops!

This thing and a EXO GP-1 Gopro case, now the kit is complete.

Will a selfie stick support iPhone+DXO ONE?

Because I need me some more bokeh to isolate and highlight my beautiful face.

Patiently awaiting the full frame version so I can emphasis my breathtaking eyes.

599.99 USD? Why not buy a Sony RX100? You get a zoom lens, probably the same sensor and better handling. Better yet, you get a nice little flash with bouncing capability.

Am I missing something? Would like to see a size comparison against the RX100 and see if it's still worth the price tag. Probably not.

Despite its impressive DX0Mark scores (I presume they are "unbiased") it does seem a clumsy solution with a fixed focal length (fixed aperture too?). For $600 I can get a phone and a pretty darn good camera built in. If they could have at least had "zoom" capability I might have considered it, but not as is. Basically what most respondents have said already.

I can't see the point. People use their phones as cameras for the convenience - i.e. not having to carry around another device. So if you're going to carry another device, wouldn't an RX100 or G7X be much better than this clumsy setup?

Next: The fixed FL camera that can be connected to a dongle that can make calls that can be connect to a zoom lens that can be connected to a sensor dock.

It would be interesting to see some comparison pics between latest iPhones with and without this device.

Blue in the sky doesn't look quit right, and some greens too.

I worry enough connecting a USB lead to a camera, for fear of stresses breaking the plug. Using a tiny, fragile lightning connector to join two individual, relatively bulky items together, strikes me as putting way too much faith into the strength of tiny PCBs.

My camera is easier to hold than that combo, has a bigger sensor, and a large built-in touch screen. And it can transfer images to my iPhone or iPad wirelessly - or even be controlled from them.

With NO fragile connector to break.

For 599 EUR? Why not build a real camera right away?

The picture with two hands holding the whole thing told me that the holder knew that the lightning port was not built for this kind of mobile use.
With such position in the picture, is it portrait or landscape?
For such mobile use, I don't know if the iPhone docks on the DxO or the DxO docks on the iPhone.
Moreover, it seemed like the iPhone could swivel on the DxO. When there's a snap and an "ouch!", there can be a toss-up, which will need service, the $600 iPhone or the $600 DxO ONE?

Ergonomically silly, it looks fragile and clumsy, I'd take a RX100 or a mirrorless any day over this relatively bulky set up. It goes well with my overall vison of what DXO is all about.

I profoundly dislike the new photo gallery and above all the fact that your default images are converted from ACR. It's also very confusing that, the images on which you write RAW are actually jpg's from the camera.
You should make a very simple gallery with in camera jpeg's and the possibility to download the raw's.

This seems to be a solution in search of a problem. "I love taking pictures with my phone but just wish it had a bigger sensor" said no one ever....

If you are that involved in image making you will carry a camera. If you are happy using a camera phone you will just carry a phone. The market for this problemless solution is incredibly small.

Well, performs kinda better than what I expected. But now that I see the size, you could as well go and tape an RX100 or G7X to your phone.

What is all the fuss about this gimmick about. Its not new, Sony was first, same sensor, different implementation. I would much rather carry an RX100 than fool around with this gadget attachment. All bow down to the "mighty" Dxo..... yeah right. If they want to do it well, put the 1" Sony sensor in the phone. That would be very doable and convenient.
