[QUOTE="Doug b, post: 1239047, member: 59143"] Heh... KR is somewhat of an enigma to me. I take whatever I read of his (which believe me, isn't much. Hardly anything, really) with a grain of salt, real large grain... There are times I've found, that he can make logical sense and at other times he's a complete buffoon. I think part of the problem is that he's too much of an car salesman, and not really a photographer. I've never seen anything that he has done photography wise, that didn't look like my wife wasn't also able to shoot. And believe me, that's not really a compliment. ken's the kind of guy who has a lot of money and begs for more from his readers, while telling them that he could get better results from a disposable camera than any one of them (his readers) could from a top of the line DSLR because he's a true photographer.. His whole schtick stems from those points : "I'm better than you.. and can prove it with a disposable camera. So all you need is what you have" Yet the guy of course has nothing but top of the line stuff ... and wouldn't dare shoot without it unless doing a review. I have nothing against the guy, but I personally would never trust a review he wrote. He's far too wishy-washy. I do agree with some of his sentiments, however, and have found that if there's a discussion to be had which is based solely on the technical merits of something, it could be worth at least a glimpse. For instance, his stance on RAW vs. Jpg. He did this really long winded article on why he believes that shooting Jpg would be more than enough for something like 90% of shooters out there, whom aren't pros. He even made an argument for why it's more than enough for pro's too. And he was right for the most part. I've even covered this topic myself, in another post somewhere on this forum. So it's kind of pick and choose your battles with KR I suppose. Don't take him too seriously, and you may wind up finding a gem hidden in the crust somewhere! Doug [/QUOTE]
