Ken Wheeler called out on his Nikon Z5 nonsense by his own followers

July 27, 2020


Ken Wheeler a.k.a The Angry Photographer got called out by his own followers on the nonsense he spewed about the new Nikon Z5 camera. The vast consent among photography enthusiasts is that the Nikon Z5 and its bigger brother the Nikon Z6 are excellent cameras which you can get for a very good price. Both cameras have some downsides, but that is to be expected for full frame cameras under 2000 USD and under 1500 USD. Paired with the Z glass which is widely regarded as superb by those who shoot with it, these are some amazing tools for hobbyists and pros. So what did he say in his video? Basically the complete opposite of what I mentioned, and sprinkled a few lies in between to trash Nikon and the new Z5 even more. Here's the main part of what he says to spare you watching this garbage.

Youtuber JCristina doesn't understand the concept of OVF and EVF

July 18, 2020


JCristina (aka Joseph Cristina) is a small and not very known Youtuber that I stumbled upon recently. I watched one of his latest videos talking about the upcoming rumored Nikon Z5. I had to chuckle when I saw how he explained the OVF and EVF. At 5:32 he says: 
Remember, the EVF is our augmented reality. In the past we had our OVF, when you look through the camera you see out of the lens and what you see is not what you get, right? You had to actually set things before you got them right after the fact when you looked at the back, when you chimped at the back of the camera, right? Now the EVF is your augmented reality, virtual reality, however you set the camera up, when you look through the EVF, that's exactly what you gonna get when you pull the trigger. [...] What you see is what you get.
Here is the video that he made:

Is Tony Northrup the Trump of photography Youtubers?

October 13, 2019

This is the question that popped into my head when I saw the thumbnail for his latest video titled "The Nikon Z50 is a HUGE Mistake". One thing that reminded me of Trump was his use of "HUGE" (capitalized), another thing was the fact that he's using a title which he knows will stir controversy among the photography community. And of course my title and artwork are a commentary on this very same clickbait that has become so rampant among online reviewers (and falls well within fair use).
