POV

There are several problems with this article in my opinion. On several occasions it is mentioned that the company *does* measure quality (of cameras, lenses, sensors, etc.), a quite subjective rating, which is a problem, because the company provides a proprietary rating that has no publicly available documentation or specification which seems inappropriate for me. "The DxOMark Camera Sensor Score measures the quality of the RAW image captured by a camera." Something better would be "tries to give a comprehensive measurement of quality" or something like that. Quality is _not_ something measurable, it is *qualitative*, measurements are *quantitative* (like resolution, bit depth, noise level, etc.) which is all in all quite misleading for me. The whole article should be reworked to also show problems and the ongoing controversy. Nobody would write an article about a scoring from one reviewer of some sort of product category, because of it being highly subjective. If there is a list with several of these subjective conclusions that would be a good *indicator*. The results this company publishes should be treated as what is, an opinion. This is especially true for "Perceptual Megapixels" (it is even called perception). There does not seem much if any documentation of testing procedures or something like that available, so there is no means of independent verification. I think this article should reflect these problems. Narwaro (talk) 13:20, 17 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
