Ken Rockwell now a Canon fanboy?

So many are talking about him clearly indicates so many are reading his reviews. Had he been a proven hollow; how come he's in the headlines for so long?

Thanks Kenny, pls keep writing so long as you can; some are definitely benefiting from those.

Well in that case; it's better to let hollow people do the talking while the "solid" are snoring. I prefer talking to snoring.

Is this the guy who says medium jpg is better than raw? I had to look it up " When I'm photographing family and friends,I shoot at SMALL JPG. Even SMALL is good enough for great 20x30" prints." why? when he could shoot large or even raw and make those small jpgs later. Why did he get a 21mp camera for?

Anyone remember his piece on lens sharpness, and why it doesn't matter?

I do kinda know what he's getting at though.

This guy is an internet troll or he's a very creepy person with some scary ghosts inside his head.

Just read this. Haha. I am not even close a lens snob, hell I roll sigma ex mostly, but that is 85% bs. I do like how he repeatedly says that anything wide angle at 2.8 has dark corners, like 9 times. Apparently if you use a wide angle lens creatively in daylight with a subject in a front corner at a 2.8 thin DOF you are not using your lens correctly. Good to know, I have some pictures I need to delete from my HD so I can be a pro.

What a bunch of bologna. Here is a guy offering reasonable advise to amateur photographers and you guys want to slam him for it. So what have you done lately to help those trying to learn photography? Besides slam someone who is doing something that is?

Many people here do not have the same definition of reasonable that you apparently do. I read some of his stuff a few years back and found it to be, let us say, not of much interest to me. There are so many better sources available, including this forum, but even here you have to separate the wheat from the chaff. For equipment testing I would rather rely on sites that use actual repeatable test procedures than one person's opinion based on his own style of shooting.

I enjoy his reviews. Yeah, he's a little cocky but who cares. On the occasions that I've purchased online I usually go through his B&H links.

Ken Rockwell is like the Chuck Norris of photography. He's a legend.

quite interesting.

Rockwell... I understand people bashing because of his completely ridiculous opinion articles, but if you ignore those and just read the lens reviews, (assuming you ignore the parts where he says it's better than another lens) he's actually got some useful information there. If anything, ignore what he has to say and just look at the sample pictures.

But yeah, I've gotten quite sick of his constantly changing opinions and ridiculous stigmas. He likes to show off too when, imo, he hasn't anything worth showing off.
