p.1 #1 · Tony & Chelsea Northrup Pissed They are Being Called Out for Their Sensationalizing/Trolling Alpha 1 Videos


Check out the comments from Tony & Chelsea Northrup in the PetaPixel article that called them out for their sensationalizing/trolling with their Sony Alpha 1 videos. Tony & Chelsea REALLY don't like people pointing out they intentionally sensationalize/troll/put misinformation into their videos to get bait clicks. I haven't seen anyone here remotely even think Tony & Chelsea are anything but panders of misinformation for their own benefit. And Tony is really gung-ho and calling the kettle black in his first comment. Tony, how much misinformation and "mistakes" have you done in your videos you never own up to?

"Editor’s Note: A slight adjustment was made to the language used to characterize Jared Polin’s video."

Jaron mischaracterized Jared's video and he's now changed it, but Jaron still doesn't acknowledge that he made a mistake. The word "slight" seems to minimize It. Jaron misrepresented Jared's conclusion as being the exact opposite of what Jared said.

And adding a note to the bottom of an existing article will not reach ANY people who read his original, serious error. Jaron, take responsibility for your mistakes and the damage you've done to Jared's reputation. Make your correction at least as prominent as your original mistake.

"More recently, Tony Northrup published a video directly comparing the Alpha 1 and the R5 in portraits, sports, and wildlife."
Chelsea Northrup also posted the video. I'm the woman part of the video. My name is in the channel name. I've met you many time at press events. Remember?
Also, why are you policing the content we make. We do what we think is interesting and what our viewers and friends say they're interested in. If you don't like it make whatever YOU think is good and leave other people alone.

Yes, I don't understand why you would erase me as a person when I'm in the video, the thumbnail, and am in the channel name.
Whats more concerning to me is that you think my idea isn't valid. Based on what? Why do you think your opinion of what I deem interesting even requires an article? You're the editor of the largest photo blog and you're using the platform to, all at one, erase me and undermine my ideas.

The Sony a1 and the Canon R5 are flagship mirrorless cameras from the two biggest camera manufacturers. They're both full-frame, 45-50 megapixels, human/animal/bird eye AF, 8k video and high-speed silent shutters. They are the only two cameras in existence with that set of specs.

Chelsea suggested we compare the cameras because Chelsea has chosen the R5 as her daily shooter, and she wanted to see if the a1 would outperform it for the types of photography she does. Chelsea is the woman in the video, FYI (you don't seem to have seen her).

Compared to the R5, the a1 is different in some key ways. The a1 has a 30% higher price, a 50% higher max FPS, and an ethernet port. Those aspects target the 1DX and D6, but those cameras have completely different form factors, weatherproofing, resolution, framerates, and they're DSLRs. They lack an EVF, sophisticated eye AF, 8k video, tilt screens, and silent shooting with the viewfinder. I'm sure someone will do that comparison for the handful of sports shooters and journalists who buy their own gear and are considering a major investment in 2021, but it feels very apples-to-oranges to me.

Jared, want to team up and make a video about questioning Jaron's blog topic choices?

Both Jared and the Northrups used clickbait titles (their job I suppose) and then complain when someone calls them out on it - probably happy that some sham outrage is going to drive more clicks.

Jared in particular with his condescending comment - he deliberately headlined it that way because he knew it not living up to expectations would generate the most clicks, then basically went down a more nuanced route.

Wouldn’t a more clear reflections of your findings have been a more honest title Jared - especially given you’re now trying to call someone else out.

It’s like putting out a video asking “Are Jared and the Northrups big fat liars?” And then concluding that no, pretty much not.

And just to confirm, I am in no way saying they are liars.

I have the a1 on pre-order, but I'd be lying if I said I haven't thought about cancelling and picking up another R5.

Just because each camera is primarily intended for different audiences, doesn't mean there isn't a lot of overlap.

The Canon R5 is for people that can't afford the far superior Sony Alpha 1.

Stop stirring the pot. This is really not the play-by-play dramatic reenactment that is needed on this forum. FM is a place for level-headed discussion, not a synopsis of YouTube cat fights.

I would agree with you thinking that Jared and the Northrups are just doing faux outrage to drive more bait clicks but then I realize that you have to be a fair bit unhinged to day in and day out creating the fake sensationalism that Jared and the Northrups put out.

Jared and the Northrups are two of the largest camera reviewers out there. You can't have a discussion about a camera without somebody quoting their misinformation.

You’ve read some of the threads here I assume



Admittedly it’s better than most here.

Sorry, couldn't resist posting about Tony & Chelsea. My next thread will actually be very useful with some technical information about the R5 vs Alpha 1 operating temperature, stay tuned.....

Look at how invested you are. By giving such attention you are giving them exactly what they want.

Here is some useful information when comparing the R5 with the A1:
With the R5 you get five R and with the A one you get one A.
Now the R in the alphabet is the 18th character and so only worth 0.18 of an A.
Meaning that 5 x 0.18 = 0.9 vs the A1 being 1x1=1.0.
The A1 is clearly superior.

Seriously after over 40 years as a working Pro I have zero,zilch , nada interest in anything these bozos say and frankly anyone with a ounce of brains don’t either. Let the bottom of the kettle burn to a crisp and ignore these posts folks. Total trolling

Even to report or talk about this is a outright insult to our intelligence. So as a leader on this forum for a long time and outstanding member . Top Pixel cut the shit and stop this crap this is of no benefit to you or any of the outstanding members. We don’t care , we want good data on gear we maybe thinking about putting in our bag, that’s it.

Fred it had to be said , you know where I live.

This is a business.

Your attention and your clicks are what YT and FB and social media are monetizing.

Of course they are going to say things that generate an increased galvanic skin response. It will engage you more.

Of course their competitors will be “upset” about it. 8/10 social media posts are pointing out how someone else did “something so terrible - click here to see”.

Anyone trying to sell you something is lying.
