Who Wins?
The viewer/reader wins - various ideas, sometimes conflicting, but all products have pros and cons. Some reviewers mention some points, and some mention others. Consulting many sources makes for an informed consumer.
Ken seems to go to extremes - no tripod, no raw. He'll love a camera one day and hate it the next. I read his column for entertainment, although he does have lots of good advice. Just keep an open mind.
Snapchick seems torn between being a "babe" and being an expert on photography. I don't visit very often.
Fro does actually know photo, but I find him hard to take. I think he would increase his following if he changed his appearance and his delivery style. Good info but hard to watch.
There are so many good, serious reviewers out there.
EDIT: As for who wins, that would depend on the contest. For Ken, it would be a written test. Snapchick would favor bikini mud wrestling, and Fro would probably want a rap competition. :D

Good analysis!
Fro rubs me the wrong way. He and others of his cult have little room in their minds for different methods, tools, workflows.
Snapchick is just a tease to draw clicks to her site.
Rockwell is reasonable, unpredictably.

I don't mind his appearance but his delivery style needs work. I too find him hard to take.

Excellent take Jerry!
Anybody that gets something from them, wins!
Take what you want, leave the rest :-)

Not familiar with Will but will check him out- thanks. Must say I couldn't agree more with your assessment of Julieanne. ;)

I watch Snap Chick from time to time. But to be honest, I rarely listen to what she is saying.
I like Fro, but he can be a bit long-winded sometimes. He did have one video where he explained the huge fro.
His images don't wow me, though.
Rockwell started out being the God of photography to me, until I learned a few things...then he was a joke.
One day I purposefully searched out his images--not just the snaps from his site. Had a couple of nice landscape shots.

Neither? If none of the three wins, then the answer is, "None!" Neither indicates a choice between two.

See the rodent next to your keyboard? I care as little to what is hidden under its wiry tail as much as I care about your 'grammar correction'.

Watch out for the grammar police! Posts are not generally well thought out and edited compositions but usually a quickly thought out response, typed and sent even more quickly. As a result we all occasionally misspell or use incorrect grammar. There is no reason for anyone to mention it unless it causes the meaning of the post to be completely lost. Having said that, I've seen posts from a few folks here that were uncapitalized run on sentences with atrocious spelling, punctuation and grammar, and were difficult or impossible to understsnd. You are certainly not one of them.

Whether it's SHOUTING, bad grammar, bad spelling, improper word usage or choice, no capitalization, or improper punctuation, when your medium gets in the way of understanding your message, you might as well have quit before you started.
Good grammar and form are like good grooming... signs of cultural maturity, good taste, and great care. Most folks don't expect perfection, just reasonable care. That's why there are Preview and Edit buttons on the site.
