Are forums like this just here to just praise equipment ?.

Obviously not. Glad you find these helpful. I think they are too simplistic. To each his own...

I think the commercial success of DPR is good because people think of these forums as "free" which basically they are.  However, most who post will boost the products because as owners of those products they have positive opinions.

I have a Fuji camera or two and I like them.  I have a third Fuji camera I don't particularly like and I caught myself changing the "three" into a "two" in the previous sentence so I could keep it positive.  This is how it works, at least for me.

The third camera?  A Fuji XP70 rugged compact.  Fuji seems lackadaisical when it comes to the rugged compact field.  I replaced it a couple years ago with a Ricoh, am looking hard at the DPR favorite, the Olympus Tough TG-5.

The other two?  X-E1 and X30. Great cameras.  X30 is the sleeper of greatness, not manufactured anymore, on the market only a short while, love it.
