Has nothing to do with acceptance. It has to do with the credibility of the site. DXo tests are senseless as I have pointed out on the example of the Canon 16-35 lens (Dxo results contradict photzone's test of the same lens,not by marginal difference, but by claiming the lens to have a complete differnt characteristic. (sharpness DEcrease when stopping down vs. Sharpness INcrease when stopping down ) This leads me to conclude that their test are unrelaible and flawed.
I would be very happy if the pentax had this high a dR. It actaully may well have. Its just that DXO is incompetent to tell. When imaging resource, dpreview and maybe photozone had a look at the cam we may know more. Until then we cant tell.
[/quote]Let me put it another way, when DxOMark gave the 7D a better score than the K-7 everyone in the pentax forums were blabbing that they don't believe DxO and such and they just couldn't except the fact that the 7D is a much better camera, but now it is a different story they worship DxO, and even started saying it (the K-5) is a FF killer and so on. Myself I would much rather wait for real side by side comparisons.
