[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 492817, member: 12496"] DxO? :) You have to understand that I'm one of those that totally ignore DxO. I think I would prefer actual real tests... with meaningful numbers that can be compared. Here's a summary of people that think like me: [URL="http://www.google.com/search?q=dxo+reliability"]dxo reliability - Google Search[/URL] It should not even be a question, much less a popular opinion.
