I think the Panasonic GH4 in 2014 was a bigger deal than the GH5...that was the first camera that really sold for Panasonic as a hybrid video stills camera. Also the A7 was a bigger deal than the later versions. I'm guessing they are trying to drive traffic to the newer cameras.

No, that wasn't DPR. DPR actually had a fairly positive review of the KP and gave it a silver award. It more recently got listed as one of the best cameras under $1000.
My mistake then!

Maybe I am mistaken but isnt it DPR which had KP as the worst (or close to) camera of 2017? It is more than sloppy research or passive aggressiveness to me.
You were probably thinking of the K-1ii, which was their "2nd worse camera of 2018".

DP Review puts K-1 Mark II as second worst camera of 2018 - PentaxForums.com

Like many viewers, they liked results from the 'accelerator' on the K-70 and KP, but only after the K-1ii came out did they take a good look at it and discover that it affected 'raw' files also.

DPR has come a long way from the times when they'd make fun of the K-01 on a regular basis...

There is a French joke, to be pronounced with the accent of the people from the island of La Réunion (they don't pronounce the r), which is difficult to translate into English:

Homéopathie ? Pauv'e Juliette !...

(literal translation - the forum rules must be followed: Homeopathy / 'omeo gone? Poo' Juliet!...)

Another good one ... and I have never heard that one before.

My (French) wife is always getting on my case about how poorly I pronounce my French "rrrrr" ... just ain't gonna happen, dude.

As always, reviews these days by most other sites aren’t real good, non-biased, in-depth full reviews. They tend to gloss over things, both positive and negative and then, shazam they have a rating which in most cases is meaningless in both numbers and comparison to other cameras. Trust the specs, read all the reviews, then pick what meets your needs, not theirs.

I remember them calling out the K-1 II as the worst camera of 2018, but they also listed it as one of the best cameras for landscapes for 2019 about a month ago. I think the discrepancy is due to their preferences for cameras that do it all (stills, video, tax returns, etc.) vs. cameras optimized for a relatively small set of given tasks.

No such thing as bad publicity.

At least that's what I've heard.

Good news ... K-1 is one of 20 most important cameras of the decade - DPReview
I puzzled over about a half a dozen of those on the list, but it is good to see a Pentax product favorably mentioned. I expect that Samsung owners feel the same way.

I thought DPR hated Pentax, did they recently change their editorial line ?
They don’t hate Pentax, they just have to giggle every time they say Pentax.
