so it's been downhill since 2004, basically.

1) amazon didn't review this camera, we did
2) we're not here to 'promote' cameras or sales.

you obviously never used SmartMedia :)

Hi Mr 2000 A couple of things. We are definitely hearing the message about international. But this is a beta phase, and whilst we can't talk about future plans, it would make no sense for us to...

approximately 0.0023% of our daily visitors post to the forums, so yes, the vast majority are our audience. Simon

It's DPR only. Mostly.

A newsletter we've been running for over a decade and a single PM telling you about a new feature once every 14 years. It's an avalanche alright.

there's some people who spam our news stories with grumpy comments too.

This isn't technically true. GS will display our opinions and findings (and we know well that some cameras we don't like end up being very popular) on the detail pages. What would happen if we...

We prioritize based on popularity (on the site), our own interest, innovation, availability - all sorts of reasons (and there's no fixed formula, we just sit around and discuss). We certainly don't...

wow that's quite a conspiracy theory you got there. How does that apply to brands GearShop carries that we never write about? Like Manfrotto?  Let me be crystal clear. This is nothing to do with...

Why would you be surprised? We've always been upfront about this. We prioritize reviews based on several factors, including picking those that will generate the most interest. It's called...

Actually we changed the DPR login cookie a few weeks back as part of a mandatory security upgrade (our old system was very old and we take our obligations to keep your data safe very seriously)....

It's a DPR message about a DPR initiative. We send these messages out on average once every 14 years. actually we have seen a significant rise in the number of posts, threads and posters in the...

I'll get an engineer to look into this for you as it is obviously not how it's supposed to work! In the meantime can you try emptying your cache and clearing cookies? thx simon

It wasn't a review it was a preview - an extended news story / first look. Same as we do for EVERY SLR announced, if we get access from the manufacturer. We did exactly the same with the K5 (on the...

That's quite a leap! I deleted your offensive post, which in no way could be described as being 'slightly negative about gear shop', and described laura and her team, for no apparent reason, as 'a...

I apologise if i came across as 'snitty' - it genuinely wasn't meant to be. I misinterpreted your post as merely telling us GS offered nothing to make you shop there, and I simply pointed out (in a...

Fortunately I am not responsible for either before or after sales support, which I'm sure is excellent! Simon

just PM me personally - or use feedback. I deal with this stuff all the time (and have already removed mods). Discussing moderator actions in the forums is not allowed (my rule) because it just...
