Besides...almost everybody with a YT channel is able to make good, technically well made videos...it's what you say that matters IMHO.

I don't think he was demeaning the K-1. It seemed to me like he was mocking DxO for putting a camera in their top-10 based on something other than popularity. I've watched several of his shows and he doesn't seem to have an anti-Pentax bias.

But why should he try the K-1? He's got lots of Nikon and Canon glass, and he's happy with their cameras. Just because I prefer the ergonomics and lens line-up of Pentax doesn't mean everyone does. Not everyone wants to shoot with a compact bag of Limited primes.

He doesn't need to buy one but I call him out because he stated publicly, when the K-1 was released, that he wouldn't mind giving it a try. I have pointed out to him when Lensrental.com had them in stock and on the B&H question area of the forum, was told all Jared needed to do was call his contact at B&H and they would hook him up.

Yeah, he will not change over from being a Nikon shooter but he needs to give the K-1 a chance as he has done with Sony.

Is he still sniffing the cameras or switched to something more serious?
