The Reviewer's Life

April 11, 2004 | Mark Goldstein | Websites | Comment |

“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.”
