Over the weekend a friend and I were out at a local wildlife refuge. We were stopped along a canal where a lot of birds were gathered with a lot of other photographers. I’m shooting a Z7ii with a 200-500 attached. This older gent walks up to me and asks, ”is that the 200-500? I had that lens when I used Nikon.” I noticed a Canon in his hand and commented that he moved to Canon. He then told me he was only using it to put up a guide on his blog and that he has switched to Sony because “it’s the best.” I replied that best is subjective. He quickly snapped, “No, it’s a fact.“ It was at this moment my opinion of most Internet reviews was validated, in that they are worth exactly what we pay for them.
Bottom line, enjoy your photography and be careful who you listen to.
