With them being paid off by Nikon, Sony, or Canon?

Looks like they're still sitting on the results. I just sent them an email asking about why the results have still not been released, so we'll see if they respond again. It's been nearly four months since "Sophie" told me they should be published "within the next couple weeks."

Ah, she must also do their 'Cheque's in the mail' responses.

If Ricoh added a 4G telephone module to the 645Z, it would have been tested and assessed by DxOMark long ago. Mobile is their priority nowadays, it seems.

If they have by unreasonable delay manipulated their league tables this time, they are likely to have done it in the past and will likely do so again in the future.

It really is as simple as that.

But who care of a few Pentaxians? We are the minority and DxO has now profile for the 645Z if I got it right so users that don't spend their day on the net to check performance of they sensor don't really care...

It is just that if somebody without deep knowledge check it fast they would buy some Sony or Nikon camera.

Well, I kind of care. If that makes me a non-serious photographer in your book, then I guess I will have to find a way to live with that.

We are more technofiles here than photographers at times !
