Pixels are a pain...
"Pixels are a pain. Do you know that I own a $5,000 D3, and usually
shoot it set down to 6MP, not its native 12 MP?" Ken Rockwell, January 2008 http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/d60.htm |

Ken Rockwell, January 2008 http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/d60.htm http://kenrockwell.com/about.htm While occasionally inspired by actual products or experiences, if you aren't a personal freind or lack a sense of humor or lack a decent BS detector, you're best off treating this site as a work of fiction. If you can't take a joke, please consider this entire site a joke, and any resemblance to any actual people, places, products or anything as purely coincidental. I offer no warrantees of any kind, except that there are many deliberate gaffes, practical jokes and downright foolish and made-up things lurking. While this site is mostly accurate, it is neither legally binding nor guaranteed and the only thing I do guarantee is that there is plenty of stuff I simply make up out of thin air, as does The Onion. |

He'd seem to be an idiot to some of the readers that take him too literally and are too annoyed to realize when he's writing with tongue in cheek. It's too easy to read his writings and come away with things that he didn't actually say. But then he's obviously not writing specifically for those such as you that have formed your own strong opinions. The anti-Rockwell lynch mob has a good share of lemmings, including those that on some topics seem bright, and some that often appear as idiots. None, as far as I've seen, sink to the depths inhabited by our own Br'er RichA, who'd make Rockwell or almost anyone else seem to be a true genius by comparison. |

He'd seem to be an idiot to some of the readers that take him too literally and are too annoyed to realize when he's writing with tongue in cheek. ('t-i-c' henceforth..) A few questions for Asaar: 1. At what point did you become aware that Rockwell wrote a lot of stuff t-i-c? Immediately you first encountered him? After you were shown that about-page disclaimer? 2. What exactly gave the game away? Would a newbie be likely to spot this, and how? 3. What makes you think the quoted line is t-i-c? 4. Does this appear to you to be a serious review? If not, why not? 5. Are there ads for Nikon suppliers on that page? 6. Do you think he really has elephant phallus hide on his left-handed Nikon? Anyway, Scott was clearly writing tongue in cheek. Me too for that matter. Didn't you notice, ASAAR? Yes, it's too easy to read our writings and come away with things that we didn't actually say. But then we're obviously not writing specifically for those such as you, that have formed your own strong opinions... (O; So count me in - I too think Rockwell is an idiot. An irresponsible, possibly even immoral one, given all the advertising he does - he should know better. "there are many deliberate gaffes, practical jokes and downright foolish and made-up things lurking" "the only thing I do guarantee is that there is plenty of stuff I simply make up out of thin air" - Ken Rockwell. |

Ken Rockwell, January 2008 http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/d60.htm Anyone who has half a brain doesn't take him serious. His raving on about the MP's that do not count are just plain stupid. If he can't tell the difference, he should save for a seeing eye dog... If he was working for any company, he'd be fired on the spot with all his BS. Just a few days ago he was saying that the D60 was likely to replace the D80, now it's the D40. Look what he writes about the D60: "The D60 is an excellent camera, but for most of the people who will buy it, it's the same thing as the $300 less expensive D40. The D60 is really just a $460 D40 with slightly different, but not better, internal electronics." So what he is saying here? The D40 costs $160.- !!! Great! Give me a truck load, now! Most people who know him, don't take him serious, but I do feel sorry for the poor people that do take his ill advice. -- Sosumi |

Leave out the money, i.e., read it like this: "The D60 is really just a D40 with slightly different, but not better, internal electronics." The $460 refers to the price of the D40. I agree, it's poorly written. -- www.mattclara.com |
