No need to defend The Camel. It can survive even with bashers. Jealously more than likely.
The Camel and DPR have their place. They have lots of technical talk and speculation, which leads to in-fighting and brand fighting. We don't do much of that here, except Canon does stink
We basically discuss the known aspects of the equipment and speculate on what we want or what is needed. No real fighting. We also look more into actual techniques related to photography.
And of course pictures. We have a lot and we view, see, and learn a lot from them and their comments and critiques.
