He's still shilling t-shirts, producing crappy images for years, always pushing products with his brand and likeness... Hell, he still does 'opening box tests'..and SNIFF TESTS!

If not for the masses upon masses of people that sink 2K into body's they have no idea why and how they bought them, he'd be panhandling instead of producing singing fart videos on YouTube.

I'm glad some people see value there, I just get offended when people ask me to look at his info as informed and reliable.

Mr. Skinner, did you watch the video?
I am truly sorry to have offended you, it is not easy to take every personality in the world into consideration before posting. Perhaps just not click on a thread you know you won't like. The warning was in the title

I found the video quite informative. Lots of action shots at different ISO. It shows some of the potential of the camera, instead of the usual reviews where the person sits in front of the video camera and talk about the specs. Those videos are meaningless...

I have to write again, as my first post was a bit... defensive. I had no intention to offend you. And I have to agree, a bit, about him, I never liked his sniff tests and so on. Those are stupid and childish. But this video I found quite good as we follow him "at work" shooting soccer, and we can see how the camera works in the real world. He also shares raw-files. Not bad at all! He does talk constantly in the video, a bit annoying. I agree.

If "Jared Polin is a dick" is what you got out of this thread, that is a bit off topic, and may deserves a thread of its own.

I also found this video very informative.
I was particularly impressed when he pushed one of the ISO 10000 images for at least a good one stop, and yet the image, when zoomed out, looked very fine.
YMMV.

The most informative one on the D5 so far. Better than sitting and measurebating. He did a football one of the D750 a couple of years ago as well that was pretty informative.
Love him or hate him, he shows how it works and what to expect in similar circumstances with decent glass. As opposed to the other Dr. Nefario looking fellow that just pisses and moans and claims his personal biases as facts!

Some of us may not like his personalities or whatever, but he used right tools in a right situation, showing something that I haven't seen yet. D5 is not on my list, but this is the best video review for that camera so far.

Among the youtubers, his "real world" reviews are not bad. It's just some entertainment.

The guy went through a fair amount of work to shoot, edit and post his opinion on the D5. Why is it necessary to attack him? Isn't calling him "a dick" offensive?

Doesn't offend me. Should the PC police be called?


I'm sure Jared has plenty thick skin.

Not sure why you edited out the part where you called him a dick in the very first sentence of your post. If you're going to be a poor human being, might as well do it loud and proud.

Every company you've ever bought something from was shilling something, what makes him any different? If not for the masses upon masses of people who buy expensive camera gear with no idea why or how to use them, the stuff you buy would either be way more expensive or not even exist, so I'm not quite sure why you're complaining about that.

With that said, I don't care for the guy but I get more out of some of his videos than other personalities on YouTube. At least he normally goes through actually using the product and takes you along (like in this video and many others) instead of just sitting at a table and talking about it.

I hope you're happy now, you made me defend Jared Polin. Ugh, thanks.

Whether you enjoy his shtick or not, this is the first review where someone has truly tested the autofocus, which is the main upgrade for the camera.

And I like how he is actually honest about sharpness and keeper AF hit rate.
Most either trash cameras or exaggerate and say that their camera tracks af 100% of the time and that everything is tack sharp all the time.

Love him or hate him this was a good test to give those of us that shot sports an idea of what its like.

I prefer this type of test to someone shooting test charts and saying it crap.

I think it's a fantastic look at the D5. A lot of his questions and concerns are what you and I would be asking.

Great review. Love the ability to download his raw files on a professional shoot is a nice touch. Not many would share that.

Mr Skinner is a good shooter and person. its just that every now and then he doubles down on his expresso. it does have it affects. it happens to me sometimes with a Super Big Gulp Dr Pepper* .
