Yeah, I know. I use the RX0 for taking aerial photos with a kite -- one of my other hobbies -- and it's pretty much perfect for that because it is so small and has a relatively large sensor. It still has a lot of noise relative to my M50, even at low ISO, which is to be expected. I think DxO PL4 could do a great job cleaning them up if it supported that camera. I've submitted a request through their form for them to add it, but I don't have high hopes.

It definitely looks good. I've gotten better results than my current tools (DPP4 and Darktable) for some of my files so far, but not all. Like you said, though, maybe I'll change my mind as I go. I'm only a couple days into the trial.

I figured out how to trick DxO into thinking my Sony RX0 is a Sony RX1R II, which happens to have a lens with a similar distortion profile. Now this is really getting interesting.

By the way, here is a comparison of a shot processed with DPP4 and DxO. Obviously not exactly the same processing, but needless to say I really like how the DxO version turned out with respect to sharpness and noise.
