ONE 20.2MP Digital Connected Camera for iPhone and iPad with Wi-Fi (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

I LOVE this camera. There. I said it.Update DEC 10: DxO added a new firmware update to both the camera and software. It's the first major update. I haven't gone over the fixes and improvements, but I can happily say that this camera no longer lags after taking shots! This was my biggest dislike about using the camera. I can't tell you how happy I am about that. I'll have to look over the update notes to see the entire list of improvements. Very happy. I've added 3 new photos from a trip to New Orleans a couple days ago.When I first read about the DxO ONE a while back (before pre-orders), I hated on it. Fiercely. I am a photographer for approx 25 years, both a hobbyist and a professional. Both film and digital. Photography runs in my veins. When I initially read about the DxO ONE, I thought it was going to be a disaster. It's shape was odd. It only works with the iPhone (and it's current charging/docking port). It looks like it will fit weird. You need an app to make it work. The list goes on and on. BUT, there has always been a soft spot in my photographers brain for small, easy to use cameras that take great photos. Boutique Point and shoots in particular. I love them because not only do high end P&S cameras take great photos and allow manual control when needed, they are usually rugged and of high quality. So, that part of me said give the DxO a chance. On paper, it may be a good fit for me despite all of the quarks. As months crept up on the pre-order, I gradually had less hate and became more interested in what the DxO could offer me as a potentially great travel camera. Despite all the early reviews, I came to have an open mind about it and eventually caved in and pre ordered the darn thing. Fast forward a little over a month. This camera is now an essential part of my life.I can't begin to tell you how essential this camera has become for me. Most of my photos now days are based on sharing my experiences with family and friends via social media. It's a pleasure to do this using great photography. No more do I have to rely on mediocre phone camera shots and hope to edit them so that they are somewhat presentable. The DxO ONE takes amazing jpegs right out of the camera. An added bonus is the RAW files are an added bonus. Nothing this small that I know of can take such high quality RAW images. It's a real treat. Add some great photo editing apps on the phone such as VSCO, and you have a digital dark room on the go. It truly is a joy to use.I've been on a journey to find a tiny camera that takes phenomenal photos. Some folks have argued that the Sony QX10/100 'slip on' cameras are as good or better. They ARE NOT. I've used them. The wireless is slow and buggy, and the darn size of them are way to big and odd shaped to be considered portable. It's like carrying around a prime lens in your pocket for crying out loud. Sure, the DxO ONE isn't perfect, but despite it's quarks and bugs (freezing up at times, slow transfer times of photos to the phone), the DxO ONE is my top pick for leaving both the DSLR and P&S cameras at home. This tiny thing that can deliver photos just as good if you're okay with a set focal length. I absolutely love it. I can't wait to see what DxO has in store for it's successor!

Good hardware and bad software.Pro:Good image quality, did a great job during the night.Really portableYou can adjust the angle.Con:Too quick to switch to sleep mode, and when I press the shutter botton I doesn't wake up.Battery life is too short.The apps will crash sometime.You have to takeoff your case to fit in.Overall I like it, Since iphone have a retina display, you can see more details than normal camera.

I really wanted to love the DXO One, but there are a few too many issues for the cost.1) There's an incredibly small lanyard connector, but the lanyard is not included. Really?2) The DXO One is fairly compact, and for the price it should include some sort if soft case to prevent it from being damaged or scratched up in your pocket, with your keys, etc.3) The DXO One feels a little clunky on the side of my iPhone 6Plus. It's easy to take a shot using the shutter button on the DXO One in a horizontal format, but is awkward in the vertical format. As far as I can tell, you can't fire it using the shutter button(s) on the iPhone.4) This is a stand alone lens and app, and the lens can't be used by the native iPhone camera app or any other apps - Hipstamatic, Procamera, 645 Pro, etc. You have the option of saving the DXO One images in the Camera Roll, but it's in JPEG quality, at a much smaller file size (6-8 MB) - not the 20 MB size offered by the lens. It will save larger files to the MicroSD card. There is SuperRaw, which I can't open using Photoshop CS6 or my DXO Viewpoint software. I'm guessing you'll need a DXO image processing software to use these files. The other file format stored to the SD card is RAW, which is stored as a DNG file. This can be opened using Photoshop, but so far has crashed my iPhone photo processing apps. So I have to use the smaller JPG files, and loose the "file size quality" offered by the DXO One.5) The DXO One app function are lacking - no HDR, no frame size options (like 1:1, 3:4, 6:9, etc.), no histogram. These are functions most $2.99 apps have. Needs a lot more thought and improvements.6) Every now and then the DXO One captures less than the full image in the phone screen, suck as the liver corner. Intermittent; firmware issue?7) Battery life could be an issue. I used it intermittently for about 30 minutes and the battery dropped to 70%. I'd be uncomfortable relying on it for a full day of shooting without recharging.8) Image quality is better than the native iPhone 6 Plus, as expected, but in the RAW format seems on par with $300 - $400 stand alone cameras that shoot in RAW.9) All in all, it's a decent "out of the gate" product, but has lots of room for improvement, especially at this price level. If, like me, your goal is to have higher quality images on your phone and to be able to process them using apps, the DXO One falls short. If your looking to take the images out of the iPhone environment and use DXO or Photoshop image processing programs, then the DXO One is definitely better than the native iPhone 6Plus. But I think my compact Canon G15 does a better job and offers more flexibility.
