Whenever we talk about DXO Mark results then Nikon and Sony cameras come to mind because they always get top rank in DXO Mark ranking. However, there lot of photographers and websites out there, those who think the reviews published by DXO Mark are not fair and may be influenced / paid by camera makers.
While speaking in an interview, Vice President (Marketing) of DXO Mark Lab said, that they have received Money offers “Money Times” from both Phone and Camera Makers.
Touchard also added that these offers doesn’t means Bribes, but but came from companies that didn’t “understand our business model.”
As we all know DXO Mark Lab is one of the more controversial tech-related websites. Since the DXO Mark Lab do have a great infulence on smartphone as well as Digital Camera Market. Most of the comparison engines also use DXO Mark rating in raking of cameras.
ANd don’t day that Canon was first to make money call … Hello…
dear Admin, please change title to “… Offers _From_ Camera Makers” or “…By Camera Makers”!

Thanks
it’s unclear how many samples of a lens and body they use in their tests. If they’re using one of each, this could be pretty random, as is evidenced by LensRentals’ “variability” scores that they’ve started to produce.
