But he must know, he's one of the most "gifted fine are photographers
of our times" (1930's Weston aesthetic rip off) and we should respect
that.

This is really what it has come to though,ads disguised as technology
reviews, and we're gonna see alot more of them. It reminds me of the
pharmaceutical ads on tv, ask you doctor for.... Beware guys, someday
you may be asked to write an ad like this for real cash.

Normally it's free product, not cash. I just skimmed the edges, as I 
could see that only the very positive things would be covered.  That 
printer, and software (and anything else that was written about) must 
have had some negatives... yet it was just like all the other 
K3 "reviews" that popped up just before the 4800 hit the market. If 
you recall, they all made these new printers out to be the greatest 
thing since sliced bread, and then people that paid good hard earned 
money started to get them and report the not so good sides.

And that is exactly why forums like this exist and why it is possible
to defer to people who really know what they are doing. But to be
fair, the K3 might just end up being the best thing since sliced
bread, provided you use the right rip, snip, snip
