To be fair, we don't know for how long DPR TV had access to the camera in comparison to Mr Jackson and Mr Hewitt. Similarly, we don't know what sort of deadlines Chris and Jordan had - which may be of importance considering the amount of content they have been producing over the last few weeks.

I'm sure once the camera starts shipping and they get more hands on time with the camera running on final firmware, they'll be able to give us a good assessment of its capabilities, as is the case with most of their reviews.

Either you do a proper review or you don't. It's not just this camera. Go back and look at the review for the XH1 and D800. There were pages and pages of measurements - so there was quantitive data - now rambling opinion you get in any video. Compare these to the written reviews of the XS10 for example. The S10 has little detail and a low of rambling.

Also what is the hurry. Five years ago a camera was not given a detailed review a month before it shipped with F/W that will still being debugged and finalized. The reviews meant something in. There is no way today I would buy a camera based on DPR reviews.

When I picked up my XPro2 and D800E - DPR reviews played a role because of the through and well through out reviews. Today, as far as I can see at least for me - their credibility has taken a big hit since the Amazonization of DPR. If you can't do the job right - don't do it at all. We'll see if their final written review on the production camera is any more professional.

Or as Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. said, “If you can do a half-assed job of anything, you're a one-eyed man in a kingdom of the blind.”

Truman, there is a reason why the video is titled “First Impressions Review”.
