Is This Man Out Of His Mind?
2 days ago

So every now and then I get these YouTube video suggestions, and there is this one Man and his Lady, who make extremely biased videos about Camera gear.

To begin with, one can tell by his Gear that he is a Canon fan-boy.

If you check out his Facebook page or his website, his images have noise and are when it comes to composition not interesting over any other average photography.

And oh, for the amount of $$$ that he's spent on his gear, his results are much-much-much weaker than the average material you can find on let's say flickr.com

I've found out that his Man has something against Nikon and Nikon's most impressive DSLR, the D810. I just came across a video where an older Pentax DSLR worth about ~$100 is supposed to take EQUALLY good pictures versus the D810.

I mean, he uses his agenda, his bias, editing, and everything else you can think of to make the old Pentax look better than the D810, but he try's with no effort to make the D810 impress with its Professional level.

I'm just at a loss of words! We all know that if you don't know how to operate a DSLR well or push your RAW files to their max capacity, you can very well end up with images that are less impressive than images that were even taken with a cellular device.

So what's the point of such video? People who don't have much knowledge about Photography gear will buy into this and develop false BIAS.

I've come to find out that Photography is almost as biased as American Politics.. what's up with that o.O ?

Before watching the actual video, one should note that he uses a ZOOM lens, which is not even among the 50 best/sharpest lenses for the D810, for this example.

The D810 beats other cameras with its Depth of Color, Dynamic Range, Sharpness (it really transforms even cheaper lenses into something incredible), and many other factors.

I cannot stand biased people.

Curious to hear opinions
