A podcast about the gear should actually know about the gear
I sampled the D810 episode. The overall production quality was okay, but the hosts demonstrated some surprising ignorance about the very product they were reviewing and had supposedly been recently using. e.g. why it offers a split zoom mode in live view, or the differences between SD, CF & XQD cards, or seemingly the presence of crop modes, etc. That one of the hosts prefaces the review with an assertion that the D800E is only good for landscapes and only for manual focus, and that it “can’t” be used as a go-to, walk-about or everyday camera, is just flabbergasting. There’s further dubious assertions throughout, like that there’s little difference between the D810 and the A7R (like, I don’t know, autofocus performance maybe?). While everyone’s entitled to their opinions, it certainly makes me question the validity and usefulness of a product review when at least one of the hosts has such an unusual and frankly bizarre bias.

Doug and Frederick do a nice job reviewing the cameras, but if you can manage to find a single episode in which they don't bash a DSLR for missing some kind of feature they have on Doug's Sonys or without Frederick mentioning his Panasonic cameras and the fact that he doesn't use his Nikon DSLR...Read full review »
