Yes, it is true. Most people who focus on lens reviews and equipment aren't very good photographers. My newest pet peeve are these instagram reels (videos) of people showing their camera, then videoing themselves focusing their cameras through the LCD and then showing the results...which are always bad. It seems people are not interested in just doing photography. They are interested in showing they are a photographer instead. Beware of self proclaimed experts on social media.

The reality is, the entire Fujifilm lineup is actually pretty good.

I agree completely." Most people who focus on lens reviews and equipment aren't very good photographers."

You are 100% correct IMHO, I call them hardware heads.
