6D Review

[Bosman]

Don't be fool guys it's the review of 5D3, where is every word "5D3" replaced by "6D". You should read "Under construction, don't read further" If you don't trust me, than open in new window review of 5D3 and check it by yourself

I do the same thing with my blog posts, only I don't have them "live" while I do it. He's just using the framework of his old review as a pattern for the new review. Funny, re-reading this "6D" review has me even more excited for my 5D3, which Adorama says will be here on Thursday! At $2,750, I'd say this is the "Best DSLR on the planet for the money!"

5DM3 for $2750? How? Thats Crazy! Why wouldn't you spend $750 more than the 6d...? Adorama shows $3459. No compredo unless it is a refurb or you are trading another camera in for it.

Guess he's using the 5D3 review as a template.
Makes it easier to replace specific content and adjust certain parts instead of writing a complete new review. ;D
Maybe lack of HTML knowledge or whatever... hahahaha...
I still don't get it how he could publish a non-final version! Instead of kudos he's getting laughter now...
Oh well... It's KR, so no kudos in any case i guess.

KR is like a clown without the funny make up. For pete sake dont' follow links here and go visit his lame site! He will just get more traffic! STOP the rot here.

This is really suspect. There are parts of the review that he seems to have forgotten to change the wording from 5D mkiii to 6D. It seems that much of this review was cut and pasted from his first impressions with the 5d mkiii. Also, I remember very similar images from the hibachi grill with his kids (same angle and everything). He either really likes going to the hibachi (I don't know anyone who goes ore than once a year), or there is something very fishy going on here....

Part of the 6D review is KR's 5DIII review.

It's just a Work In Progress (at a certain point, the words "UNDER CONSTRUCTION - read no further" appear.

Good ol' Ken. Also, he used Katie's picture (exactly the same photo) in a review for another camera already (or lens). I swear I saw it before! But this crook is known for reviewing stuff he doesn't have so no surprise there.

In the Metering section of the Ken Rockwell review http://www.kenrockwell.com/canon/6d.htm - the "Ryan LOVES fire!" sample picture is shown as being shot with the 6D but I remember seing this picture in his 5D3 review. In fact it was shot with a 5D3: http://www.kenrockwell.com/ryan/images/2012/2012-08/5D3_6073-ryan-likes-fire.jpg

I can understand you want to be fast and get traffic while the topic is hot but this is a sloppy cut&paste job from his 5D3 review and lacks professionalism. You just cannot throw a half job online, full of errors and misleading information. #fail

Actually, all the 6D sample shots are from the 5D3 review. Lame. http://www.kenrockwell.com/canon/5d-mk-iii.htm

Yes, he's used the template and has the "don't read below" here message because of that (pretty near the top). As we all would, he is looking for traffic to lead into purchasing and make money. But, it is sooo easy to at least comment it out in HTML so it isn't seen. It is sad that he can't at least trim that down.

I look at info on his pages yet, but stopped taking him seriously when he started dissing on Sigma because of the color of the lens... dark grey instead of black. What does he think of the Canon L glass telephoto? That is a seriously light grey!!!! Besides, I absolutely love my Sigma 17-70mm f2.8-4 stablized lens... now I need to find its counterpart for my new Mark III since its for crop only. And I didn't find much helpful information in his reviews.

In a perverse sort of way, this makes me feel better. I couldn't imagine how any reviewer would have gotten a copy of the 6D back in March.

I don't get upset about Ken. He's a businessman and he's figured out his way of making the internet work for him. Nothing wrong with that. Too bad somebody couldn't show him how to hit the "save draft" button instead of the "post" button though.

 

[Ryan_W]

Wow. If this is to be believed, he has had the camera since March. Pretty amazing.

March seems a little hard to believe, but DP Preview and every major retailer updated at like 12:01 when the embargo ended, so maybe not. They certainly didn't write that content in a minute. It wouldn't surprise me if Canon has had the pre-production model since then.

Equally easy for me to believe is that Ken Rockwell copied and pasted his entire review because he knows nobody can tell the difference between a 6D, 5DMkII, 5DMkIII, 7D, 1DX, or T2i photo on the internet at 72 DPI if properly exposed/focused.

This is the best forum thread in the world!

There is no review at the link, it's a simple listing of the specs.

Why does it bother people KR gets more traffic? Do i care if this guy profits from it? No. Some of his info has been helpful over the years. As in any news or info you take what makes sense and leave what doesn't, no diff with KR. Its his blog he is allowed to do whatever he wants and if people want to advertise with him or pay him somehow that is up to those who believe it was worth it. His hyper sharp, hyper saturated work is crap when it comes to family photos but he isn't a total looser with landscapes. He does know a lot about cameras and he has opinions and he is sometimes wrong in my opinion but what do i care? He does a lot of sample image work not to wow you just give samples to demonstrate performance of diff cameras and lenses. I don't advocate him just realize he does offer something of value regardless of opinion.
