So strange the world we live in these days. Used to be people had to be a staffer a major magazine etc to get products to demo, but these days Joe Anyone, assuming they get enough page hits, suddenly is a viable marketing opportunity all the camera companies need to send products to.
Its instant celebrity status if you can get your hands on the next big camera release before anyone else and post a few images of it.
Seems we, as in the online collective of photographers who read very forums like this, just can't wait to get any and all information possible.
I'll admit, like many here, to even visiting some Chinese and Russian web forums because I heard they had a link with image samples of camera XYZ.
Can't understand a word of text, but ooooooo and ahhhhhh sample images at high ISO.
Its kind of like we are a bunch of teenage girls that have to pick up the latest gossip magazine to see who so and so was reported to be dating or pregnant LOL.
Such is the internet I guess
