The E-mount Lineup

Good to see I am not the only one that likes the 70-350G

How about adding a lens review to Dyxum? The 70-350 only has two reviews!

However, it does not get a lot of airtime with "influencers" - only Mark Galer seems to mention it regularly but he is a Sony Ambassador and therefore not unbiassed.

I think he is as unbiased as anybody else, but he has a relation with Sony making him look less unbiassed. While in fact he can be more honest as he is less dependant on the whims of the Sony marketing department.

I was watching Gerald Undone's video on the Sony FX3 and he said he had to send the camera back and that these are his thoughts - and I was thinking: yes, of course but you won't be too critical because you will not receive a testing copy the next time if you are too critical.

In December NVIDIA send an email to a smaller but still large Youtubber saying they would not provide him with an early copy of a video card because they did not like his methodology - aka they did not like the results he posted.

Like all the PC testers say: look at as many reviews as possible. Reviewers walk a fine line between being honest and keeping the companies happy.

I have no doubt Marc Galer is telling the truth when he says he is using his 70-350G in specific circumstances. So, yes, I believe him.

(also when he was clearly annoyed with the A1 test by the Northrops without mentioning their names )
