Want to get paid to review cameras?

deadwolfbones · 04-12-2014, 03:09 AM

Hey all,

Just wanted to let you all know that Reviewed.com (a division of USA Today) is currently hiring several staff writers—and at least one of those positions will be a camera reviewer. The company is based in Boston (Cambridge, actually), and this position does require that you come into the office most days.

I'm currently the news & features editor there, but I started as a camera reviewer (after doing freelance work for digitalcamera-hq.com and here at pentaxforums.com). You can see a few of my reviews here:

Ricoh GR Digital Camera Review - Reviewed.com Cameras
Nikon Coolpix A Digital Camera Review - Reviewed.com Cameras
Canon PowerShot G16 Digital Camera Review - Reviewed.com Cameras

It's a great place to work, and our camera coverage is (I think) improving all the time. We lab-test every camera (and everything else we test) with a rigorous rubric, in addition to field shooting time. Staff writers also get to go to industry events and trade shows, which can be a lot of fun (and work).

If you're a good writer, passionate about photography, and live in the Boston area, you might think about applying: Staff Writer / Reviewer in Growing Tech Company

(We're also hiring for other categories, so if you have a general interest in tech or appliances, that's great.)

Thanks!
