Did my own non scientific test. Nothing to with scientific reviews I see on the net.
Took 300 pictures to print taken with Canon 5D Mk III, 7D and 50D.
Processed all 300,pictures in the three converters and measured total time I spent on PC (time to set settings for pictures not time needed by PC) then after conversion each JPF file was renamed with a suffix. I only kept one of the three versions of he pictures.
My results: For time spent DPP is the least time consuming by far, less than one fifth the time with DXO, DXO and capture one were close however DXO is the slowest.
As for the number of versions selected DPP was winner by far especially for daylight portraits where its skin tones are the best (merely 100% of photos selected were DPP converted)
In mixed light and too dark shadow areas DXO did the best job however DPP and capture one were good enough.
Finally I found that DPP is FOR ME the raw converter I prefer the output and the least time consuming
But this is me
