how much does DSLR get for "free" product placement?

it is a slippery slope to corporate shilldom.

so will this new product "spotlight" be cliff notes(tm) for those who are too lazy to browse the appropriate forums, or "unbiased" reviews of company promoted products? this first review doesn't make that clear.

Concur.

At least tell us how much DSLR just made for this "product placement".

Whatever it was (if any), you'd think it would disappear considering the product seemed to get reamed pretty well. It certainly doesn't make me want to buy it!

Put this "Product Placement" in small fine print and Broadband Bytes where it was.

It isn't a "product placement", it is cliff-notes for those who don't want to spend hours days and weeks reading forums. If users, in the forums, rate something highly, then it'll be reflected in the article. If on the whole they hate a product, it'll also be reflected in the article.

And of course we get zip, zero, nothing from the company concerned for doing it - not that Hughes would hand over any cash for this one, even if they were asked..

Does BBR whining ever cease? Inteller, did you even read the piece?

"Corporate shilldom," please...

Read the article from start to finish and I think you'll re-assess this comment.
