I just looked at the current newstand issue and was appalled by the
lack of substance. I was interested in their digital reviews which were
terrible. They implied that the new 5 MP 2/3" sensor Leica was the new
digital M camera and said it had a superior sensor that captures more
detail ignoring real tests that have shown it to be just average. The
most technical thing in their D70 "test" was a comparison of finder
magnifications. Either they are not even trying or they are doing what
they have always done, but I have gotten spoiled by the meaty reviews
on the internet. Considering that the majority of new cameras sold are
digital, concentration on film cameras for a general interest photo
magazine seems doomed to failure. They had better reinvent themselves,
quickly.
