Hah. Ken's a good guy. In the end, we agree with him that all of these cameras are great, and that the differences between them are far less than the differences between photographers when it comes to making awesome pictures.

Photography is about GEAR and not talent or practice. Practice won't make you a better photographer. Expensive equipment will. =D

I read it as satire, as I do with most of what he has to say about Canon. The part about the lens correction SW working with those old cheap lenses is the give away.

This is what it all boils down to.

Umm... if you put a period after "satire" and stopped your observation would actually make more sense. ;)

The D800 is King for replacing medium format, but medium format has never been mainstream.

I think not.

What do ya know. He finally pulled his head out of his $$$

"Seeing how awesome are the results I got from my 5D Mark III this past week, I have a sneaking suspicion I might have to move the World's Best DSLR crown to the 5D Mark III."

Wait till he gets his hands on the 1Dx. He will be greatly humbled for a 2nd time in 1 year by canon.

5D3 is a killer camera and the 1Dx is even better......both are game changer cameras. Good for canon finally listening to what professionals need

So that's it then. The 5DIII is officially crap.

Do I have to put some sarcastic smiley on this since it is the internet??

since i have been reading on POTN for years that KR is always wrong i can only conclude that the D800 must be the best camera :)
