My thoughts exactly… you’d think people who either own or plan to ride in a limo would like to know that information!

you’ve got to be kidding me!

there was a problem.
companies wanted hundreds of people working for them
but wanted to pay only a fraction of the amount they would pay if they hired one of them for a project.
and then, they got this idea.
competition.

you cannot demand a complete product that will generate income for your business(like an ad or a logo for example) as a submission for a competition and be ok with it.
business should hire people and pay them for their ads and logos.

soon we will be working for free just hoping someone will buy us a cup of coffee.
the scientific and artistic proletariat is here already and its getting bigger and bigger

why not help your readers by posting things like this instead?:

I need to apologize, but I am not regretful of my comment,
My comment was meant to instigate or incite you, not anger you or make you want to hate me,
I am a force, I am a peer, I am your fan!
I am at the very least bold enough to let you know when and where you lack talent
or need advice, I sincerely appreciate your effort, But Effort is in most cases not enough for
the future of Indie Filmmakers , and certainly not enough for your followers.
We whom follow you, expect nothing less than Mature and Responsible gear reviews.

But it’s not just about that, I remember when you used a to shallow of a DOF during a video Review
and it was horribly accepted, But
did I complain?? NO!

I waited to see if your other reviews got any better…And guess what…They Did!
And they still get better every month for the most part.

Please accept my apology, especially to Ilya Polyakov
It was nothing personal.

I am who I am, I have no regrets, I just strive for success, and love seeing others succeed,
With the right intentions and attitude, I wish I had never posted that comment at first,
But now with all your supporters, I can see it may have been not such a bad thing?

Just trying to be me, Sorry for the misguided love!

Peace

Im not sure why people feel the need to post negative comments, For me I find Jarred informative and extremely hard working and obviously what he does works, or you wouldn’t have found the blog in the first place. I think it is just a case of tall poppy syndrome. People like Jarred, Philip Bloom, Vincent Laforet etc, have never claimed to be the authority on everything DSLR or to do with film or stills, they simply have shared their experiences with the wider public and as such have made a great amount of information available that wouldnt have been as easy to access if they hadnt, also they have had a major impact on the companies that sell the products we all use every day. Im sure there are many people who have made informed choices with the purchases of their equipment and not wasted money on the wrong product for their needs, thanks to these guys and others like them.
If they are able to make some income from doing this, then even better and why shouldnt they, this requires a huge amount of work to be able to bring all of this to us, and Im sure if you went to your doctor or accountant they dont give you their opinion for free. We all need to eat and pay bills.
If you feel the need to express your opinion in a negative way even if it is meant to be helpful feedback. I dont think this is the correct forum for it . I feel your comments should be directed via an email or a private message through Twitter or some other way that is private.
To Jarred and anyone else who is doing similar things in this industry, personaly I would just like to say THANK-YOU and keep up the good work.
