DxO One

Published on Author Yean Wei Ong

DxO has just announced that it’s entering the camera manufacturing business (adding to its established business of photographic software) with the DxO One. It’s a camera module that connects to iPhone or iPad models with a Lightning connector, as shown in the picture below from DxO’s press lounge.

With this camera, DxO is trying to achieve DSLR-like image quality in a small form factor. With a small sensor and no optical image stabilisation, I suspect it will just perform similarly to other small-sensor cameras—well enough for static subjects in most lighting conditions, but ill suited for low light action.
