Wow, JPT, that's quite a view from the other side of the Kool-Aid stand.
Originally posted by JPT Reading those review pages, the impression I got was that the reviewer was overwhelmingly positive about the K-3. I'm pretty sure the "begrudging" thing is in your head.
Lead photo, first impression, set it up.
Improperly exposed to the point of 'Huh?'. How do you get that initial bad impression out of the reader's mind? You don't. You put it there.
Oh, by the way (last sentence in paragraph) it's no worse than CaNikony anyway. What's the opposite of fair play or level playing field?
Originally posted by JPT Another thought that occurs to me is that the piecemeal publishing of Pentax reviews (same with the K-30) gets the cameras on the front page more times, so it might be to Pentax's benefit
More times? Once since October. Staggering! Drink up. That less-than-lovely D(o)f has been a front page standby since October. With a full review, shortly after.
Originally posted by JPT What makes Pentax (or rather Pentaxians) look bad is the desperate rebuttals of any criticism and spamming of other camera reviews that has been going on over the last few months
Sometimes called reality check or telling an unpopular truth. Kinda' like now.
But, you're clearly happy with DPR's representation, handling, timing, quality and fairness of their Pentax evaluations.
And good luck with that.
