Clarkson is an obnoxious buffoon and not in a good way :-)

I like Clarkson, he doesn't pander to anyone's sensitivities. :)

I didn't enjoy his reviews at all. He always seemed like he was intentionally downtrodden, as if somebody told him that looks cool and he stuck with it. And he rarely seemed to know the gear he was reviewing well enough for his review to be helpful. I didn't realize people think he's a big deal. I thought he was annoying.

For his own venture

Best wishes Kai

Been good knowing you (even though you're not a big fan of MFT)

Cheers,

With the two hosts leaving and saying they will likely work together on YT in the future, this probably relates to money. Perhaps they were not getting their fair share?

I am sure soon these people will create a new YT channel, this time wholly owned by them.

In fact, he is already producing review videos of his own.

It is cringe worthy TV when you see middle aged men making jokes about boobs and snickering like schoolboys.

he's not middle aged yet...unless people generally go 6 feet under when they hit ~60...

He didn't leave, he's set up his own channel.
 
Kaiman is here:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCknMR7NOY6ZKcVbyzOxQPhw

Anyway, it's probably a good thing because it allows him to review things other than cameras and it also lets him be himself, which lets face it, is why you watched it anyway. People who watched Digital Rev because they thought they were getting an informative review took themselves too seriously.

For the reviewer community, this is actually not a big loss. At the beginning the "reviews" of DigitalRev (in person of Kai) were more or less funny, but they never provided a lot of information. After a while, always the same story board, similar jokes, and predictable judgements became a boring thing.

I hope his new channel will be a bit more serious and informative.

I hope not.

He was the Top Gear of photograhy. I hope he will get back to his former entertaining level.

Ever notice how they sometimes makes the cloulds move backwards to add drama!

Actually some of the beauty shots of the landscapes, particularly with a winding road, are breathtaking.

The last DigitalRev video I watched was of the EM1 mark ii, with Kai and monkeys - including some monkey sex. So i guess both shows have their share of excitable baboons 😉

If I'm not mistaken, Kay wasn't in this video.
