>>4450756>>4450759>>4450768I saw this thread right after watching his video from last year titled "camera reviews need to change" and your comments made me go watch his Lumix rant videos from 4 months ago.
With the context of both videos, it's pretty clear that he wasn't upset with Panasonic because he wasn't invited to a press event.
For anyone who doesn't know this guy refuses to review cameras at press events. He tells the company he'll go to them but they're not getting a review out of it and he'll only review the camera if he gets sent one and can review it at home on his own time. They're not getting a review out of it and he'll only review the camera if he gets sent one and can review it at home on his own time. That's been his policy for years and you can see it when you look at when his reviews are posted months later than all of the other embargo group reviews from the press event.
With him and Lumix, he's already had a bad experience in the past where he reviewed the sr1 and despite giving it a glowing review, because he used the word strange in the video title he was not given access to the SR 1 II and was no longer invited to press events. When he pushed them on it they said that they could possibly loan him a camera for review if he told them what the title of the video would be before he had even seen the camera. According to him, it gave him the impression that they are more interested in getting positive reviews than honest reviews. He uses Sony as an example of a company that loans him cameras regardless of what he says and invites him to press events despite refusing to review the new product featured at the event. On top of that, Lumix even called him and let him know that they would not be inviting him to press events because they didn't think he would give the camera a positive review.
tldr Lumix is trying to curate positive reviews with early access for reviews and paid trips/press events, youtuber mad
