It is a good base if you want to use the format for other things as well.

Definitely.

Well, Ken is certainly a voice to be heard. Maybe he thinks of himself no differently than Obama or Trump. To each his own!

Why criticize someone so harshly just because you don't agree with him. No one is forcing you to read his opinions.

The purpose of this post is to Laugh and lighten up. It is not political but to just have a bit of fun. I actually enjoy reading his reviews and this is like a cartoon as it is a substantial exaggeration of Ken. I would bet he would love it as well as it is just good humor.

Ken is one of the many sites I visit ...,to get his perspective ... he is not the final word by all means .., but he has answered many questions .. regarding equipment and technique ..., he always responds when I email him at his sight...he even set me up with the manager of one of the top three distributors when my first preorder D800E was delayed and because of that .., I was able to get it shipped immediately ...

So among many .., he is on my short list as one of those out there I contact when needed ... he is one of the most criticized by his peers as not knowing anything but proposing to know it all ... so therefore .., I want to hear his take and reviews ....

That's my take ...

Well, some may take it as a joke, but I consider some humor to be denigrating. What I love about Ken is that he does lots of testing on cameras, lenses and photo situations. He has won awards, worked as a professional photographer, and had the sense to start a review blog that is one of the most read in the world for photography. I don't have page counts, but I would think his opinions are at least as and maybe more important that dpreview.com for example. Not taking anything away from them, but Ken has good opinions that count in my book. There are other reviewers out there that have good opinions, but in my eyes, Ken has the most tested reviews of them all. If he has a good opinion of himself, I would say that any other opinion would not be deserved!

Great post. I'm a big fan of Ken Rockwell. Following his advice has always worked for me. Failing to follow his advice has cost me several hundred dollars and missed photos. I loved this post.

His reviews are a good read. He often goes against the popular view. Doesn't make his any better or worse than anyone else - just different. I have always enjoyed his opinions.

You have to try this camera, it never gets in your way, it just....works!
