The Ken Rockwell I read is very critical of all the equipment he reviews and in this post (<a href="http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/d3-d700-5d.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/d3-d700-5d.htm</a>) for example, he highlights the drastic differences between all three camera bodies. So if we assume your assumption is right and he's only out to augment his "Rockwell Trust Fund", isn't he hurting himself by not recommending the D700, which is more expensive than the 5D (therefore, more commissions from Adorama)? I believe his exact phrase is, "...I'm not quite sure why anyone would want a D700..." He does review used equipment (<a href="http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/retirement-ranch.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/retirement-ranch.htm</a>), and he says "...I've always been a cheapskate, buying most of my film gear used." I've been very interested by all of the anti-Rockwell sentiments out in the internet ether, but I guess I've felt those who criticize him never seem to have actually read his stuff. They just regurgitate the sentiments of others. His impartial (IMHO) reviews of equipment has allowed us to make very informed capital purchases for our studio. He hasn't led us astray (yet).<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('211','Trig'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('211','Trig','<a href=\"#comment-205\" rel=\"nofollow\">@Mike<\/a> -\nMike,\nI guess I\'m confused about which \"game\" you\'re talking about.

Mike,
I guess I’m confused about which “game” you’re talking about. The Ken Rockwell I read is very critical of all the equipment he reviews and in this post (http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/d3-d700-5d.htm) for example, he highlights the drastic differences between all three camera bodies. So if we assume your assumption is right and he’s only out to augment his “Rockwell Trust Fund”, isn’t he hurting himself by not recommending the D700, which is more expensive than the 5D (therefore, more commissions from Adorama)?
I believe his exact phrase is, “…I’m not quite sure why anyone would want a D700…”
He does review used equipment (http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/retirement-ranch.htm), and he says “…I’ve always been a cheapskate, buying most of my film gear used.”
I’ve been very interested by all of the anti-Rockwell sentiments out in the internet ether, but I guess I’ve felt those who criticize him never seem to have actually read his stuff. They just regurgitate the sentiments of others.

Unless, of course, it's from one of his links to Adorama? You do realize his whole game is getting people to buy what he recommends so that he can supplement his "Rockwell trust-fund?" Why is it he recommends buying the 5D while it's in stock and the D3 is out of stock, but several months ago he was telling everyone to "just buy" the D3?
