Yeah I realise that, but a review is just an opinion, same as any expressed here - and you see quite a few forum posts that are reviews in all but name.
Given the number of just bad reviews out there - of all sorts of cameras - there\'s nothing inherently \"better\" about an opinion expressed as a review than an opinion expressed in a thread on a forum like this, especially when expressed by the likes of Daan and Brainiac, whose abilities and knowledge I have far clearer awareness of than I do of some some random bloke with a blog...
But I\'m really just bringing out how transparently biased Jorkata is in his reading: he talks as if there are loads of negative reviews of the 7D and 50D compared to the 5D Mk II, and there just aren\'t.
And as I post here the 7D has been given a 97% score in the UK\'s PhotoPlus magazine - the highest score that mag has ever given, as far as I am aware...
Yeah, I read that in your post in the 7D master thread - also the conclusion that landscape shooting wasn\'t a strength of the 7D (which is kind of relevant to this thread!). I agee with your comments about the benefits of reviews from people you respect & some of them do surface here - but more often threads devolve into a war of contesting assertions. But you are also quoting an external reviewer to support your contention about the 7D so I guess you are kind of conceding the point that some opinions are worth more than others.
