Having access to “breaking news" reviews are occasionally very helpful, but not always. Now the camera is in more hands and BMD is including examples of serenely artistic creative work in the official Pocket 4K Gallery, I think those works are equally convincing that the camera as a tool passes the grade.
IMO the "breaking" reviews are less useful now... I generally just wait until the cameras are in the hands of actual pros.
One of the things that I to do vet reviews though is to read reviews of products that I also have personal experience with. Opinions aside, if their facts don't jive with reality, I know they're not legit and I don't follow them or pay attention to what they have to say.
