‘The DxO One Review’

On the day when everyone is writing about the latest iPhone, out comes my review of something a bit different, a ‘connected camera’ for the iPhone called the DxO One.

Even with the iPhone 7’s extremely capable new camera, there are features that simply can’t be jam-packed in the iPhone’s small form factor at this time. The DxO is a device that gives you almost all of the convenience of the iPhone, but really increases the quality of the images you shoot. As I say to begin the review over at Tools & Toys:

I’m of the opinion that, more often than not, taking photos can be a particularly frustrating experience.

If you’re looking for simplicity and go into a photo opportunity equipped with nothing more than your phone’s camera, you might be disappointed in the quality of the image it returns.

If you’re looking for quality, you might find yourself lugging around gear that begins to feel like a burden, distracted from the moment you were once trying to enjoy, instead of to simply capture.

As someone who is always looking for devices that will balance ‘quality’ with ‘simplicity’, I was immediately intrigued by a little piece of tech called the DxO One, a small but incredibly powerful camera that uses some interesting tricks to make your experience as great as possible.

The DxO isn’t perfect by any means, but the amount of power they packed into the extremely tiny form factor is worth a look for anyone wishing they had a better camera packed inside their iOS device. The review includes some photos straight out of the camera, with no editing except for some very minor cropping. I included my favorite photo I’ve ever taken with the DxO One, which was my home screen for a long while.

If you’re interested in photography at all, give the review — and the DxO One — a look.
