    • well what do you think of these sorts of reviews  ? Runs for 13 minutes and no examples of photos or video taken with the lens    
    • A close relative illustrates user manuals for a high end audio equipment company. Not my cup of tea but it certainly qualifies as art.  
    • Content is art. Not all art is equal, but it's still art.  It's like arguing that the people who write instruction manuals or textbooks aren't writers. They are, but that doesn't mean they're Stephen King. 
    • I'm sure the owner of this site would object to that statement LOL Camera reviews are not art. They are content. There's a huge gap that exemplifies why this sort of youtuber just fades away. At no time during the past 10 years did I see one of his reviews and said "wow, now that's art right there". There's no soul, just data. Clicked on a video, saw it, and 5 minutos later forgot all about it. It's NOT his fault, it's just he's made from a different material than artists. I repeat, it's NOT a deficiency, it's just his way of presenting his videos: cold, clinical, analytical, operational. Curiously enough, his pal from Camera Conspiracies has had some very artistic videos where he actually shows some soul. His technique is dreadful, but you can see HIM and his EMOTIONS through the video. Cheers.                    
    • I think it's a loss for us, as he was doing independent testing of things that no-one else was, like DR, and commenting on various combinations of modes and features, especially which combinations of modes and features couldn't work together.  This is all information that the other people don't bother with because their 'reviews' are really just product showcases or first-looks. As much as the camera journalism and independent review ecosystem is in a sorry state, it just got worse.
