    Hmm. I cannot stand their style, but it was a surprisingly informative video, and It led me on to the video they commented on, and then to a guy talking about audio.

    As I have been buying audio gear recently, which has much in common with camera gear. it is harder than we think to get unbiased information. I was quite successful in my purchases, thanks to a mix of reviews and most of all user comments on forums.

    User reviews and comments often pick up defects and downsides that a reviewer will never pick up. I recently came across a comment about a €8000 lens, where the lens bayonet mount wears out quickly, thanks to bad material choices. When i was replacing my worn out EM5, a forum thread illustrated the dramatic weakness of the tripod mount in my intended choice.

    Editorial reviews need to be considered with a pinch of salt sometimes (It is actually fairly easy to sus a reviewer that has had some sort of kickback), Fanboyism often plagues gear forums. With camera gear I always like to try a camera or lens out at my dealers before buying. But buying new gear is always a lottery, you might miss a camera defect, or the lens you buy might be a bad copy.

    interesting utube. but sometimes no speaker can ever sound like a real choir rehearsal, my daughter used to perform at the brisbane convention center. i had to drive her to the rehearsals 300klm away leaving at 4 am and arriving home a10pm. while i was waiting to pick my daughter up one day the security guard on duty asked if i would like to watch her rehearse with the other 20 lead singers. WOW is all i can say the sound was amazing from a dedicated theater ( not the convention center), i was at the top row and the sound was incredible no audio involved at all , then when i watch her perform at the convention center it was nothing like listening live without audio involved. will never forget the experience.

    hey mate this is a cool utube www.youtube.com/watch?v=MK44muBKwHA

    I listened first half, they seemed to me more reasonable than I thought. As I thought they became click bait type content, I stopped using them but I liked his videos that he goes through with settings of cameras.
