The internet is full of self appointed opinionated "experts" one needs to be 
ones own editor.
Sadly many people may read this and believe it.

It's news to me to because its total baloney.
He thinks the camera would be of most use to "art" photographers!?!?!
And "Street" photography does not exist it is just photography!?!?!
Cameras are of course used in the context in the practice of "Photography"
and "photographers"  And this makes it not just another consumer gotta have
it product a writer can add to his r?sum? of high end trendy things he can
write about. There needs to be some commitment to photography itself.
