“I always value Ken's opinion before I purchase any camera equipment.”

Stephen G.
1/22/21

Ken has been around for years and I always pop over to his site to get another opinion before I buy any camera equipment. I'm a Nikon user and I find his reviews pretty accurate so I do end up usually taking his advice. Never been wrong yet! His knowledge of the different models of Nikon lenses is invaluable and has prevented me from buying anything S/H that I regret. Keep up the good work Ken!

“Biased Reviews... Promotes Some Poor Photo Techniques”

Michael F.
3/3/22

Ken's technical reviews *can* be good as long as he sticks to the facts and doesn't drift off into the lunatic fringe and injects opinions tainted by bias. He also pushes a lot of photo technique approaches that most pro photographers I've spoken with write off as rubbish, e.g., his assertion that you don't need to shoot RAW... all you need is JPG. I followed this advice many years ago and quickly came to regret it. So, approach his reviews with a great deal of caution... and be sure to look elsewhere for other info to be sure you get a good flavor of what you're trying to learn.

Ken Rockwell website provides detailed camera information including manufacturing country. By giving his unbiased opinion based on years of experience his candid views can be very helpful. See no particular reason for people not to like his fact-filled website.

This is an excellent site. The informatoin is free and he does give a lot of good opinions about a multitude of optics products. The site has a TON of info and it's free. The site survives on DONATIONS for crying out loud! How many people feel compelled enough to simply donate money after reading free information? Apparently a lot because the site has been around for a long time.

Ken Rockwell is a guy who has a passion for cameras and optics and has dozens of reviews for these types of products. The reason I found kenrockwell.com is because I've been searching for a new DSLR. 90% of the sites I've found review just features of the camera, so 90% of the sites say the same exact thing; a feature is a feature is a feature, it doesn't change between sites. Other than consumer reviews on amazon and other such places, there are very few expert review sites that give opinions about actual products instead of just reviewing features. I'm not sure what the other reviewer was talking about, this is a great site.
