The DxO One is essentially a standalone camera that foregoes a monitor and most controls in order to be as compact as possible, relying on your phone to be both the viewfinder and control interface. The Sony back-illuminated 1-inch sensor is a prominent feature that’s used in many enthusiast cameras. The DxO One is the company’s first hardware product, which makes it all the more impressive. (Coincidentally, the new iPhone 8 just received DxO’s highest-ever score for a phone camera). Its lab tests are often cited by manufacturers when they tout image quality. If you aren’t familiar with the DxO name, know that the French company is renowned for its imaging software and camera and lens benchmarks (including smartphone ratings). This review has been updated by Daven Mathies to include updated information on new features, and how they affect performance. But with a price of $499, is the gadget a worthy investment for iPhoneographers? Read our DxO One review to find out. It turns your iPhone into an advanced enthusiast-level compact camera. So what can you do if you want to break through the mobile photography barrier without breaking the “mobile” part? The DxO One is a good place to start. The onboard camera in an iPhone is great for taking casual photos for Facebook and Instagram posts, but even as it gets better and better with each new iteration, it still bumps up against the limitations of its small sensor.
