24JUN2015 Long time visitor to Ken's website. Great information on DLSR photography, heavily biased towards Nikon, which is fine since I have been using Nikon film cameras since the mid 1970's and am using Nikkor lenses from the 1960's on my Nikon D700 full-frame DLSR! Ken provides useful reviews, humors comments, and industry insight due to his technical knowledge having worked with all manner of broadcast equipment. He reviews other brands besides Nikon and reviews AV equipment from time to time. Updated 27JUN2015.

Not suitable for children or those just getting into photography, as they might be mislead by the author's often non-serious claims. From the first line of his about page: "This ***** a work of fiction, entirely the product of my own imagination. Also, KR makes a massive profit from the site--he states it is his only source of income, which would only make sense if he is not also a professional photographer. While he fully intends you to believe that he is, you will shortly pick up on the many incongruities in his statements on that. However, even those experianced in the craft of photography may full victim if not wary due to the sheer volume of deliberate falsehoods exibited on all manner of things--some obvious, others less so. It mislead me for several months as I was just getting into photography--hook, line, and sinker. Also note the complete disreagard for FTC regulations, including lack of disclosure on the various paid endorsements he features, as well as product reviews leaning toward purchasing the product. Or not, depending on where you read it, as the site has a massive array of contradictions.

you may or may not agree with him, but his opinionated, constantly updated and well researched articles are always worth reading! it is my favourite second opinion! Some of his general comments are also very humorous, enlightened or simply make you think twice. A must if you are into Nikon.
