asian_allen is one of the best informed people who post regularly on this forum. My life is video stuff. if i'm not shooting, editing, or writing, then i'm probably spending way too much time reading about different cameras and how they work, which is dumb, but whatever Its what I do. to break it down, I know my shit. Very few people on this forum have insightful opinions on topics, they really just want to prove that they're right and that others are wrong. However, there are a few camera whizzes on this forum such as asian_allen and horner, who really know their shit and help people with their technical issues. Anyone who's ever asked a camera question in the last year or so has probably been helped by at least 2 of us 3, and probably a few more that i simply haven't noticed (sorry guys). Basically, don't be jerks, cuz we're trying to help. Unless of course we're being jerks, which happens from time to time.
