While they don't even try to review every camera the cameras they do review are reviewed in a rigorous manner with comparisons between similarly marketed/priced models from other manufacturers and, usually, against the model it replaces.

At least Ken doesn't even try to rationalize his inherent self contradictory posts... As his right that camera XX is the best camera ever and, 2 month later that camera AB is the best camera ever ... Or that you never need a tripod then tells you in his large format reviews that tripods are essential ... Each opinion is right...
