Why the DxO bashing?

[CarlTN]

Oh, and like many others, I think DxO's software is good (probably the best for noise reduction).

I'd argue for automatic distortion correction as well.

Well, when I asked about noise reduction software last year, I was lambasted for it. According to many (on CR anyway), there's no such thing as noise reduction, only image softening. I tend to disagree very much, even with the NR available from Adobe. I've not tried DXO...perhaps if they offered it free to Canon owners in return for their bias against the brand, I would opt to try it out?

I use noise reduction on many images, I guess some people would like to argue that it is not noise reduction and that it is is only "image softening", maybe it makes them look intelligent if they use an alternative word then what the software developer has chosen to name it ... I know some people call landing the flight a "controlled fall" coz it makes them look intelligent ... maybe they are just pessimistic people who cannot build any useful software or hardware but would like to come across as intelligent people with "clever" words to describe everything - or maybe they just want attention ;D

I'll defer to your expertise on that How come you didn't come to my defense back then? Or maybe you did, I forget.

;D ;D ;D ... actually I don't even know which thread it was ... sorry, next time I shall come to your defense .. but I charge a very nominal fee for defending other people's posts, I was thinking a Sony 10-18mm lens ;D

Haha, is that supposed to be a good lens?

Its an ok lens for Sony's crop sensored mirrorless cameras ... I was planning on buying it, to use, for times when I don't want to take my 5D MK III + 16-35, especially during business trips ... also recently our office moved to the downtown area of the city where there lots of skyscrapers, so I wanted an easy to carry/portable lens to capture the landscape of the concrete jungle here + I plan on getting the Sony a6000 during the end of April or early May, so the Sony 10-18 would be a nice fit for that camera, meanwhile it can also be used as a 12-17mm full frame lens on my Sony a7.
