Like anything, use them as another source...not your only source. You'll find Canon jsers tend to have a hate on for them right now because Canon cameras score so poorly.

The OP asked about DXO mark ratings for lenses but of course, if somebody asks you about directions on the street, you will answer: Canon sucks.

I told the OP that like anything, DxO is just another source. I mentioned that currently a lot of Canon users dont like it because DxO ranks Canon cameras poorly.

I never said Canon sucks. Get the chip off your shoulder and learn to read. You proved my point by the way.

Yeah, sure. This is the only thing you say all the time.
 
The DXO lens scores are useless.

Just print your own resolution chart (or buy one) and use the same lens on 2 different bodies (ex: one 16MP vs one 24mp) and look at the results (pictures @ 100%) on your screen and then see if the differences match the DXO scores they received (hint: they wont).

The perceptual megapixels score is one big trademark joke.
 
Then why shouldn't you?

Email DXoMark and ask them to send you a copy of their ISO 9001 certificate. See what they tell you.
 
DxO is fine but don't use their crunched numbers to determine a lens. Look at their test results and decide on the areas that are most important to you.

That being said, don't use any single site as the sole information source. See how well the results for any one lens parameter area agrees between sites. After you narrow down your lens selections then look at real photos and blog comments.
 
Some people cannot live with the idea there is a possibility your preferred stuff isn't the ones for others...

Just consider DxO if it confirms your own choice!

Once you have already bought a lens, whether you pay attention to DxO Mark ratings or not will have no effect on how good your photos are. Paying attention to DxO data may help you choose a better lens.

The single-value roll-up lens score is next to useless. The individual Lens Metric scores have a limited application. The real value is in the individual test measurements, if you learn how to interpret them properly.
