lol I don't know why we're surprised...his camera/lens reviews are no more well informed (except for the info he's gleaned from reliable sources) :lol:

Oh, I wasn't surprised :lol:

Rockwell's latest review (external link)

Mind you, I'm SO NOT a rockhead fan...I saw this on another site and just couldn't believe it...I hope he doesn't start reviewing breakfast cereal (all photographed from different angles) next. :lol:


I feel like I've missed something. A photographer's website reviewing automobiles?

Go figure...........

Yeah, I was amused that in the first two lines of the introduction he was already making wild claims that just don't hold up.


The whole article is just full of it. The whole thing seemed to be written on the premise that the Cayenne S isn't availabe anymore. Oh how wrong he is: http://www.porsche.com …wzealand_/model​s/cayenne/ (external link)
Here is the US list: http://www.porsche.com​/usa/models/cayenne/ (external link)

This may seem like a stupid question, but who is Ken Rockwell? :o

Actually, the proper way to phrase that is,"Who the Hell is Ken Rockwell?" Or better, "Who the #$%$# does Ken Rockwell think he is?"

To answer your question, Ken Rockwell is a self-appointed guru of photography who loves to post equipment reviews, almost all of which are guaranteed to be heavily biased and nearly completely wrong.

I say "nearly completely wrong" because occasionally he gets something right. After all, even a blind pig will find an acorn once in a while.

And Ken loves Nikons, virtually all Nikons, above and beyond anything Canon, regardless of model.

Of course, the above is merely an opinion—my opinion. Others may agree or not, as they desire.

Hehe...thanks for the info. I see his name around here often and I hate to be left out. Especially when it comes to despising people. :lol:;)

This guy who hasn't bought a new car since his ford in the 80s has still managed to have a Merc E430 all of his own. And a wife who's got taste so bad she buys a porsche SUV for "a lot less" than $125k.

And still has buttons everywhere asking the public for help. I did not realise I could be more disgusted with him an hour ago, but this did it for me.

It is ppl like him that give capatalists (and americans) their reputation.

For all those like me who refuse to click this link, here is one that is more entertaining (external link) but offers just as much useful information.

Have to favour Ken with this one - at least the Porsche is prettier to look at.

That's the difference between us Americans and the rest of the world. In the US, you each would have eaten your own, with a 1.5L coke to wash it down.
