AP at it again
I remember an interview of the late afternoon news on BBC Radio 4 some years ago. British Gas had just put up prices significantly. The boss was there to be grilled, but the first quaetion was, "Well, a price rise is justified isn't it?" I listened to the whole thing, finding it quite surreal that the interviewer was defending the position of the interviewee right from the start. It was very strange.
When did the world go quietly crazy?

you would expect so-called experts and the editor to have a wide and impartial knowledge of all current brands and systems
They are in the magazine business, on what grounds should they be deemed experts?

You are right, but the author of the piece and editor both give the impression they are very knowledgeable about the subject of the magazine. However Jon Bentley’s bio shows him to be a tv presenter of Top Gear (that’s roughly to do with motoring) and no mention of any photographic applications at all. The problem is that readers would assume they have some authority on the magazine’s subject and are influenced as such, but I cannot imagine AP would put any disclaimer to inform their readers otherwise.
He is also on the Gadget Show where he deals with all things photographic ( and other stuff ), but proves he knows nothing about photography imho.
(Don't know why this hasn't workd. (Computers not fit for purpose.)).
