Sony’s QX line of lens/sensor modules is perhaps the most obvious, followed closely by the Olympus’s Air, and now software company DxO has decided to take a shot with its DxO One.
The last few years, however, have seen a different solution: supplementary products that get around a smartphone’s physical limitations. With the exception of the PureView technology and larger-than-usual sensors found inside some of Nokia’s – and now Microsoft’s – phones, manufacturers have generally attempted to better many of these issues through apps promising increased resolution and a broader range of shooting options.
While it’s certainly true that the quality of smartphone sensors and lenses has gone some way to narrow the gap from an imaging perspective, when it comes to handling, operation and control, high-end compacts still very much have an edge. The DxO One camera tethers to an iPhone, boasts a large sensor and supports Raw capture, but does it do enough? Matt Golowczynski finds outĪlthough the quality of smartphone cameras has massively improved over the last few years, there remains a significant gulf between their performance and that offered by enthusiast compact cameras.
