DXO Mark - Should They Be Trusted?

As Jack Nicholson's Joker character once so eloquently put it, "Hubba hubba hubba, who do you trust?"
As a scientifically-thinking individual, I can't believe anything I haven't tested myself. I also can't test everything myself, so I place my trust in entities or websites who seem to follow the methodology I would use if I were doing the tests. True, they could simply be paid stooges of the camera and lens companys, but I'm comfortable using them as a guideline based on pure intuition. Sometimes it's all we humans have - a hunch.

LOL. Good one Blacktop! This guy's videos are funny for about 20 seconds. Then he goes on and on repeating himself endlessly, never really giving solid reasons for his opinion, and working hard to be a crude as possible. He is an obvious You Tube troll.
I don't always agree with Tony Northrup's conclusions, but he is scientific in his approach, at least. He gives enough information to let people make their own choices. His videos are a recourse I trust.

Never take seriously anyone who markets themselves with the word "angry" in their name. Lol

Read the original article ..seems quite fair ..as for DXO I look at the sharpness graphs for lenses to compare Sigma /Tamron/Nikon and the ISO for the cameras. But in the end few of us can afford to change system once we have 3 or 4 bodies.
