Well, you know, the thing about Ken is, he would never patronise his readers. For example, he would never say anything like
"Nikon labels ISO 3,200 as "H" so most people won't use it. This is because experienced photographers know ISO 3,200 is supposed to look grainy, but most people don't. Nikon (and Canon) hide these very fast settings with these code names so normal people won't use them " or "Idiot Modes: [...] (I never use these)." or "The D40 lacks depth-of-field preview and front-panel FUNC buttons. No big deal, since 99% of the people who will buy the D40 have no idea what these are," "and today we all use the LCD for looking at DOF anyway." "The DOF button was a relic from film cameras: nice to have, but hardly critical." "I'm suggesting the D40 to my friends" So basically, Ken thinks his friends are idiots. And I suppose they probably are, if Ken is one of their friends. -- Cheers, Bob > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of John Francis > Sent: 06 November 2006 21:24 > To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List > Subject: Re: DPReview taking a new stance? > > > Well, he has the advantage of not actually having to bother > with using the camera before he reviews it. > > On Mon, Nov 06, 2006 at 02:40:29PM -0500, Perry Pellechia wrote: > > Good to see that Ken Rockwell has is review up. > > > > On 11/6/06, Cotty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > <http://www.dpreview.com/news/0611/06110601nikond40.asp> -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
