The DxO One app launches automatically (most of the time) and voilà: you’re ready to shoot. No need to pair devices or select a private Wi-Fi network-just slide the lens cover to pop out the connector and plug the DxO One into your iPhone. The key to this achievement is DxO’s decision to connect to the iPhone not by Bluetooth or Wi-Fi but via the Lightning port. Some things fit in your pocket more easily than others.Įqually important, the DxO One is easy to start and reliable enough that you’ll want to use it all the time. Olympus Air with 17mm lens on the left, DxO One on the right, and, for size comparison, my wallet. The DxO One, on the other hand, is a little smaller than my wallet and fits innocuously in a pocket. But the Olympus Air is the size of a baseball, and that’s before you add a lens, so it’s a pocket camera only if you’ve got big pockets and don’t mind looking lumpy. Olympus Air lens-style camera and I like it, mainly because I already have a collection of excellent micro four-thirds lenses. The DxO One connects to your iPhone and you control it from an app.

Like the Sony and Olympus “lens-style” cameras that have been around for a year or two, the DxO One is smaller than competitive cameras because it doesn’t have a display of its own. Taken at the State Fair of Texas with the DxO One and processed in DxO Optics Pro 10.5.
