The Reviewer’s Life

Mark Goldstein | Websites | April 11, 2004 | 3 Comments

“Dedicated to the all-knowing cynics on the DPReview Forums”, this week’s Sunday Morning Photographer column from Mike Johnston is sure to spark some heated debate.

“And that’s just the way it is, in this reviewer’s life. Yeah, I checked my ideals at the door a long time ago. Sure, I sell out every day. Whaddaya want, objectivity? Honest opinions? If I did that, what would the cynics on the DPReview Forums have to talk about? They’re wise to the fact that every positive review is the result of bribery or special treatment. No, you can’t fool those guys. But it’s a hard world. A guy’s got to get along in it, you know? It’s just not so easy, this reviewer’s life.”

How come I don't have any new toys then?
I know the world isn't fair, but why isn't it ever unfair in my favor?

I couldn't tell if he was being totally 100% sarcastic or if he was trying to shed a little bit of truth through some humor without just spelling it out.

the only truth there is.... if you write too much of the bad stuff over and over again you can be pretty sure no more cameras from that company will be coming your way wink
