So, it seems (http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/News/DxOMark-news/DPReview-and-DxOMark-to-partner-for-lens-testing) that at last DPReview is trying to be a little bit more objective and quantitative. Their reviews are the best out there (to the best of my very limited knowledge), but sometimes here and there they sounded rather subjective and arbitrary: I assume they want to take a different approach from now on.

The DxOMark overall scores, as a weighted average of scores on different performances, don't make much sense, but I guess that the collaboration is going to be an occasion to review that approach as well. I, as usual, will just pay attention to the plain measurements.
