I’m 100% convinced I would be able to get fantastic images from this camera and lens combo… Chris and Jordan have had a stinker in their review, plain and simple. And all it’s doing is fuelling the Fuji troll train.

I’ve read elsewhere that they admit to not having it set up correctly, is that true?

Over time I have become disappointed as DPReviews have become very superficial at best. Maybe it is the Amazon influence - save money by spending less time with a camera before a review. Seven years ago the reviews were much more extensive and complete. Today they are pushing video reviews which are nothing more than show and tell.

At one time DDPreviews reviews were the gold standard. Today they are no better than any YouTube review and often not as good.

Since the acquisition by Amazon of DPR, it looks like the full "Amazonization" of DPR review is complete. That is superficial descriptions of a product only enough detail to get someone to buy.

Since the transitioned to Video reviews followed by a few pages - the review from DPR have become close to useless and unreliable.

World is changing and I agree, it's more and more difficult to get reliable material these days... I read also steves-digicams for years but it's dead for almost a year

I'm not going to judge any product based on only one initial review - even if source seems trustworthy. I wish TJ was right, but I suppose the truth lies somewhere in the middle.

Cheers,

Artur
