I've been and still am (present tense) a subscriber for almost 10 years. A few months from now, a 70MP Sony / Canon / Nikon body with multishot capabilites (one can only wish) could make those comments obsolete, don't you think ?
If you've been reading his reviews for that long, then you know that he often changes his mind about the merits of a product once he discovers some little glitch, or gets frustrated when he can't figure out how something works because he didn't read the manual...
I guess others are getting tired of Lloyd's hysterics as well... he send me an email this morning begging me to pre-order an A7R IV through his affiliate link because B&H won't give him a review copy otherwise. How pathetic.
He sent everyone the same email. It's not pathetic. It's being honest. Ok, can we, please, move away from diglloyd bashing ?
This thread is not about diglloyd, is about multishot images vs single shot.
Sorry, but this thread shows that "hysterics" tends to apply a lot more to the Lloyd bashers, themselves with a very vivid and off-topic rethoric, than the character himself.
This love/hate division is a division that he set up for himself though. In order to stand out from the pack as a reviewer you can choose to establish have a strong, well defined character that makes bold, brash statements rather than careful, well-weighted ones. It can garners a lot of fans but at the same time cast doubt on any hyperbolic claim you make. It's a double-edged sword. I'm not very familiar with him but from what I can tell he chose to lean into these statements, so he as well as everyone else shouldn't be surprised that this is a logical consequence. Just look at Ken Rockwell, the exact same thing applies.
Anyway, the new pixel shit feature on the A7R IV makes this thread moot, at least until more in depth testing with production units is done. So naturally the thread devolved into just talking about the man's character.
Sorry but Ken Rockwell is a clown with jpg reviews, and the difference is that Lloyd has not only words, but also images and a solid testing methodology to make his point.
Being engulfed in the rethoric is optional. Studying Diglloyd's carefully planned shots, made at multiple apertures and focusing distances, under a variety of lighting conditions, in real life scenarios, with all the details of the shot available (from stabilisation methods to raw conversion technique applied), should help easily separate the rethoric from the facts.
