I noticed this on their site this AM. This sounds like a good thing for Phil. I hope the camera reviews stay as comprehensive and objective. I never have been impressed with the forums.

Cha-ching! Phil must be smiling all the way to the bank! :wink:

I have some aprehensions about the reviews staying as objective as they seem to have been in the past, but I guess we'll see how it goes.

I'm happy for Phil - his is a classic success story - but I share Kent's concerns that the objectivity of reviews may not remain high. I write some reviews for Amazon, and sometimes a balanced, negative review of a product will not get posted or will disappear after a few days. Especially reviews of products at Amazon-hosted vendors.
