Rockwell talks about filling up 8 GB memory cards, which is a real concern when shooting multiple exposures in RAW. It is also true that it takes a lot of effort to manually go through and process each individual RAW image. You either have to select a balanced preset that you think will work well and copy and paste it across the whole set and hope it turns out or spend minutes making individual adjustments on each photo you want to use. It is very time-consuming.
That hasn't changed much, though most of the compatibility and technical things he mentions are no longer issues even for photographers with budget gear. He also has a follow-up where he argues that shooting in film is the "real RAW", which is an understandable position for someone who has spent a good deal of his life doing photography when film was the only option.
Maybe if I was a better photographer "just shoot it right once instead of going back through for the second chance", as Rockwell recommends though I'm not sure if he'd give that same advice today, almost a decade down the road , would be a feasible option, but it's not so right now.
RAW combined with a miracle-grade processing pipeline DxO has saved my bacon many times. The rest of the complainant's article primarily seems focused on Rockwell's spartan writing style. I think his bluntness and simplicity is a big reason for his success.
There's no reason to get upset about Rockwell's personal opinions, which are what he shares on his personal site "kenrockwell. You don't have to agree. One of the reasons photography is so popular is because it's so subjective and there is tons of room for individual variation and freedom in basically everything.
Let's not get too worked up here. Hacker News new past comments ask show jobs submit. Go sit in the corner. Honestly, I've learned a little from him when I was a beginner, but now have more frustration with him because I know better. Rosa Ramentol 12 years ago. I like him. When I was starting out, I ate his stuff up and he was a tremendous help.
He is a great resource! You guys are bullies!!! Orbmiser 12 years ago. Everyone is picking on Kenny Again! Michael Roberts, Canadian 12 years ago. His stuff about vintage cameras, lenses, compatibility is very usefull. Some of his opions about newer stuff are kinda silly. I agree about the marketing aspect. Somehow everybody knows about him. Rosa is dead on. I've read most of his technical articles, and I don't believe I would have known what I know in such a short time had it not been for him.
I can't speak for the rest of you but I love guys that post reviews of things they've never touch. I aspire to be that way. Also, I will have to bookmark links to this as people keep calling me out on it in these threads.
I think this happens every full moon. I am reading this thread ago and I am not sure if I understand this completely: the title says "Why does everyone seem to dislike Ken Rockwell? Ken is silly when he says that a 2. Of course everybody heard about him, the question is how many people take him seriously?
Now, honestly, would you trust someone who writes most of his website with font size ? Like, what, are we blind, or something? Brendan Dekora Photography 12 years ago. I read this and never went back. He says himself, "I like to make things up" Why would anyone look to him for advice if he makes things up? Won't it get shut down soon!? Don't know or care who this cat is I read his stuff and take away what helps and ignore the rest. One thing he does that I appreciate is he tries to talk to amateurs like myself in my language.
There are lots of self-proclaimed experts out there who look down their noses at those not considered worthy. I certainly don't always agree with him, especially his reviews of equipment. You have to remember he gets a lot of free stuff from Nikon and Canon. He gives me a starting place. Then I go to a retailer, rent or borrow the equipment, and then decide for myself about whether to buy it. Just my humble opinion. Mightyhorse 12 years ago.
Ken who? Not that bothered about his reviews, but he does provide the useful numbers - weight, length, filter size, etc - that aren't always easy to find elsewhere. Because to find the smattering of useful and non-incendiary stuff, one has to sift through piles of unsubstantiated "findings" and dog-poo. If you don't like him why bother reading what he posts in HIS web site? Just look elsewhere. Dirk Ebener 12 years ago. When I started out his information and reviews were, and still are, a lot of good stuff for the amateur.
There is so much stuff out there that it is very helpful to have someone who talks in a way that the amateur understands. I enjoy his reviews and will continue to read and use his information for ideas. He is nice enough to provide this for free, when other charge. How about that for a throught???

Karl, I hope you bookmarked this page cuz I'm gonna cite you here: "I can't speak for the rest of you but I love guys that post reviews of things they've never touch.
I got the D90 on amazon and it was all perfect, I got it in just 2 days with free shipping special offer and I they were very efficients awnsering me, they actually call you if you type your own number What I like about Ken is that as you read you can feel that he's a real person and he can help real people like me Ken Rockwell is awesome.
His reviews are great and his advice very useful so much so that I send people to his site when theyre looking to buy a camera or are Nikon users. Woof Ken Irvine 12 years ago. What an astute observation. I'm starting to imagine Ken Rockwell as the Scientology of the photography world now. I've tried I've made a real effort KR is an opinionated twat Sometimes KR is right. Sometimes KR is wrong. Just like every other human being on this planet.
To bad only that KR always is thinking that he is always right.
