>>3964468The answer to that is... Not really. But some channels really show off their biases real fast.
DPReview are probably the "best" of them all, because they tend to actually talk about the positives and negatives of various gear rather clearly. The fact that they have access to pre-production gear and the fact that they're also indirectly employed by Amazon should be your primary concerns there.
Kai W is pretty honest with his reviews... but the caveat is that his reviews are 90% skit, 10% talking about the camera. This was most egregious in 2020 when he didn't even leave his own house to "review" cameras. His BGH1 review consisted of him taking the camera into the field, realising his Atomos Ninja V was locked, and then he couldn't work out how to connect his phone to the camera. So... 0 usability testing.
Gordon Laing is probably the most interesting of the camera reviewers in terms of the fact that he goes into every fucking detail you could ever want. His reviews aren't entertaining, but they're factual. He also does video testing, battery life testing, and he also does a "vlog test", to show how good the stabilisation and how bad the crop is in video.
Probably the only reviewer I'd trust to point out key flaws in cameras and lenses.
Ken Rockwell is... a DSLR boomer. Ignoring the fact that he doesn't even review Olympus or Panasonic cameras, his bias is obvious - he hates plastic bodied mirrorless cameras and lenses. He can't write for shit and his website looks like something from 1998.
The Northrops are hack frauds. Terrible photographers with no skill at all. Their reviews can be summarised as the following: "is the bokeh creamy? Yes? Good camera/lens. No? Bad camera/lens - system is therefore dead".
