The upcoming DxO ONE camera has 1″ sensor and attaches to your smartphone



The DxO teasers I posted yesterday are for a new DxO ONE camera that will attach to your smartphone. The official announcement will be on the 18th. Here is some additional information, including technical specs thanks to Google cache (thanks for the tip Spike!):



The new shape of photography.

DxO ONE. The pocket-size camera that pairs perfectly with your iPhone, so you can take amazing photos anywhere.

DxO ONE packs the power of a high-end camera into a size that’s by your side and ready when you are. Our advanced image processing automatically enhances every photo you take.

Better photosmake better memories

DxO ONE delivers impressive image quality in a small size, so you can capture life’s magic wherever you go.

DxO ONE packs a powerful 1-inch sensor into a compact frame. (In fact, it’s the world’s smallest 1-inch sensor camera.) Expect brighter, sharper photos in any condition.

The world’s most advanced image processing

Every photo you take with DxO ONE is automatically optimized with our advanced image processing (an area we’ve led for 10+ years). You can also pass your RAW files through the DxO Connect software on your computer. Sit back as our PRIME denoising technology intelligently suppresses noise while preserving detail and color.

We are scientists dedicated to the art of photography.

Founded in 2003, and headquartered in Paris and San Francisco, DxO is a team of image scientists and engineers devoted to capturing and creating exceptional photography. We create embedded technologies in use by the world’s leading camera and smartphone companies, award-winning image processing software cherished by serious photographers, and the revolutionary DxO ONE, which has redefined what a connected camera can be.

The mobile app is like every DSLR you’ve ever owned, only quicker and easier

When you buy DxO ONE, you also get DxO FilmPack and (for a limited time) the Elite Edition of DxO OpticsPro — our professional editing software (a $300 combined value). Your photos will look great the moment you snap them, but if you want to go a step further, you’ll have the power to enhance them even more and add your own creative touch.

How is it possible for DxO ONE to capture images as good as a DSLR?

Within the camera industry, we’re known and respected for our deep knowledge on the science of image processing and for spending over a decade partnering with camera companies, other scientists, and academics. Over 300 million cameras worldwide contain our embedded imaging software, and we created DxOMark, the global standard for objectively grading image quality.

The DxO ONE camera can record two types of RAW files: default RAW files in DNG format, and DxO's proprietary SuperRAW™ format which automatically merges four RAW files into one. SuperRAW™ and DxO's advanced image processing, which includes the very latest in spatial and temporal noise reduction, allows the ONE to achieve a DxO Mark sensor score of 80, demonstrating that the quality of images produced by DxO ONE far exceeds that of most high-end digital cameras, even DSLRs costing and weighing considerably more.

Will DxO ONE impact either the battery life or storage space on my iPhone?

DxO ONE is powered by its own rechargeable battery and saves the pictures you take to a microSD memory card (available in the DxO shop). It won’t drain your iPhone battery, and you can choose whether or not to automatically save photos to your iPhone.

What do I need to get started with DxO ONE?

You can use the DxO ONE as a standalone camera, but you’ll need a compatible iPhone or iPad to get the big, interactive viewfinder and many other powerful DSLR features. When connected, you can easily access your DxO ONE photos on your iPhone and iPad. Which means you can easily edit them in Photos or your favorite app, and you can share them via Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or anywhere else you care to share your photos. (Note: DxO ONE is currently available for iOS only)

Do I need to have DxO software to use DxO ONE?

Default images from DxO ONE are captured as DNG files so you can view and edit them in Adobe Lightroom or your preferred photo app. In addition, you get DxO FilmPack for free and DxO OpticsPro Elite Edition (free for a limited time),so you’ll have incredibly powerful and intelligent photo correction software at your fingertips.

Can I share photos from my DxO ONE?

Yes! The free DxO ONE app for iOS lets you instantly share via Mail, Message, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and more, when connected to your iPhone.

Can I return the DxO ONE if I don’t like it?

Of course. If you don’t love using it, send it back within your first 30 days with your receipt. We'll even pay the return shipping.

At this time, the DxO ONE can only be purchased in the US, but we’re working to bring it to you.
