you mean other than the guy is an asshat

- he has no scentific or any reasonable testing
- he makes s*** up
- everything Nikon makes is better than everyone else

or besides that?

seriously if you believe anything he writes its funny he even says himself in his posts that he is full of s***

I may shoot Canon but I am no Canon lover but he is definetly a Nikon one

anyway the whole thing with him and being an idiot has been beaten to death, if you want to make the guy rich for clicking on his links to different sites and gets paid for it go for it, I have read enough of his crap to realize the guy is a moron

Here's a quote from Ken Rockwell's website:

"The Canon 5D is sharper than the $5,000 Nikon D3, and the 5D sells for less than half the price.

The Canon 5D is the world's best portrait and landscape camera for under $8,000. The images look fantastic, and it runs forever on a single charge. Unlike pro cameras, it's light enough to want to take in your backpack everywhere to bring back extraordinary images."

While he shoots Nikon because he believes it has better quality glass, he does appreciate other products, including Canon.

Here's another:

"Now that I've had my 5D Mark II for the past ten days, it's easy to proclaim it as Canon's best digital camera ever, along with the SD880. Since the 5D Mark II has the same or better image quality, the old $8,000 1Ds Mark III can be tossed out"

Still not convinced? He's not as ass-hatted as you might have inferred if you had taken the time to thoroughly read his site.

"I remember three years ago when I posted my first Canon review. People were going to emergency rooms all over the world with heart attacks thinking I dropped Nikon. I'm an artist, not a business. I try new crazy things all the time in case I might learn something or find a better way of doing things."

So you may have disagreed with his conclusions, but his data is valid. The comments he makes about ergonomics are valid. The fact that he gets great battery life on the Canon 5D is valid. That doesnt mean he's a Canon fanboi, does it? It means that he an honest (unfiltered) communicator of his own experiences.

To me, reading anything not published by a news outlet is just one person's opinion. Viewing it as such can help you put the information into a larger construct of community experience and opinion about a product. But its up to you to perform an examination of the information from any particular site and pull out what is useful. Seems to me you are being way too short-sighted on your Ken Rockwell take.

you have your opinion and I have mine, I still think the guy is an idiot and there are many people that will agree, and of course many will disagree

at the end of the day if you want to listen to him go for it I will stick to resources that have real information like dpreview, luminous-lanscape, the-digital-picture etc

just because he actually says the 5D's are good does not mean he is not biased

I'm a fan of low-tec. Too much fancy digital equipment these days takes away from the true art form. Try it sometime. Forget f-stops and iso settings and which lens for what. Just go out and shoot on auto and capture a true moment.

I'll go give that a try actually. When I go for photowalks, I only use my 50mm and that's it. NO tripod, no flash, nothing.

That's tough. Moments are elusive.

Part of the reason that I only shoot film SLR's

Indeed they are. That's why you carry an easy to use camera like a Lomo. Pull it out, click, done.

I've uploaded a few more vids and 4 photography books in PDF format. Shoot me a PM if you don't have the link and want it.
