DPReview: Yeah it's unfortunate the X-E5 is $1,700 because of tariffs and inflation, it sucks, etc etc.

DPReview 10 minutes later: ... hell yeah Fujifilm should just go crazy with the X-Pro4 and give it a stacked sensor and titanium body and charge $3,000+. youtu.be/EP70CvO82WY

Yes, I will definitely turn off the thing that protects me from malware and invading my privacy if you just hit the right tone of passive-aggressive blaming of your users.

14. DPreview had a huge part in killing the compact and "fun" camera market (like Nikon 1 series, Pentax Q, etc), bc they either slammed them for not being equivalent to pro DSLRs, or they ignored them entirely.

Love the way DPReview started their "Gifts for Photographers" newsletter with the Leica Q3. At nearly $8K I'm not expecting that in my stocking - but who knows? #Photography

happy to oblige

13. ken rockwell isn't a gear-wanker. when he evaluates a lens or camera made for a specific purpose, that's what he evaluates. he doesn't mark it down for things it wasn't made to do.

DPReview wankers treat every piece of gear the same. toxic.
I'm not challenging your opinions here and you are certainly under no obligation to expound on this if you don't want to, but I'm intrigued by your opposing views on DPReview and Ken Rockwell. I've found Ken just as gear-wankery as DPReview, but I haven't spent a lot of time reading either of them.

it is amazing to me how the dpreview guys are both boring AND bad at photography

and yet it’s their career?

so weird

is there any more consistent pack of tedious goobers on the internet than the denizens of a photography forum? dpreview forums come up sometimes as a search result and I have to thank them for being a containment zone

is dpreview still a thing?

John Abernathy threw his Leica to prevent it from being confiscated, and Pierre Lavie's photos of that moment have become international news. We spoke to both photographers.
