Re: filmscanners: Bruce Fraser Reviews Nikon 4000ED

Wire - I enjoyed your review of a review - some meaty kiblets for 
thought.  I too become totally frustrated by reviewers who play it safe to 
the extent that you can't tell whether it is a good bit of gear or bad.  I 
think more often it is because they are not sure enough of their own ground 
(and don't want to invoke ire from anywhere including the manufacturer for 
mistaken comments) than kowtowing directly to supplier / advertiser 
pressure.  But maybe not.
