Yes, there is a bias. Also ...what gets to me is that when Phil responds to the remarks about his reviews, and I concede some are unnecessarily harsh and even rude, he sounds very much like a cantankerous old curmudgeon. I don't know the man, but he certainly has an acidic tone to his responses.

Hi. Just look at Dpreview D200 overall conclusion regarding soft jpegs (third paragraph): Quote: What can make a difference however is how what's captured is developed. Which brings us to the D200's default sharpening (for JPEGs), there's a difference between avoiding sharpening artifacts and not resolving detail captured by the sensor because of weak processing / sharpening. A first time user of the D200 may well feel it is 'soft' simply because of this decision made to have low default sharpening. Turn the sharpening up or better still shoot RAW and introduce a subtle unsharp mask into your workflow and D200 images are as sharp and crisp as you could expect. Unquote. Don't you think that Phill Askey is clearly more benevolent with the D200 than with K10D? I do.
