Being honest, the only valuable time I spent on reading reviews was within a month of buying the Pentax K1. Since then, looking at more reviews was pretty much a waste of time, and when I look at DPR front page I feel like it is filled with more often with more gadgets, such as smartphones, mobile apps, small drones and such. I don't know where this is going, but I like it less and less. Maybe it's time for me to switch to film photography or go straight to painting on canvas.
