Should a reviewer keep a $20K Oscilloscope?

scottiebabe

I am just putting the thought out there, that I think a reviewer keeping a $20K oscilloscope is too much.

When an automotive journalist reviews a vehicle, its my understanding typically they return the vehicle afterwards (perhaps that’s not always the case).

I have not seen a review on element14 that I believe is any way deserving of such a reward.

I do believe a reviewer should be rewarded in some form for taking the time and effort to produce a quality review. But I think the reward would have one less zero in its value.

I think there are a lot of other creative opportunities to help see the community grow and flourish.

I don’t intend to say anymore than this.

But I do hope you take a second look at how the terms and conditions for the MXO4 review are defined.

Just a thought...

  • Great question.  Since the company providing the equipment really gets to make that determination, I'm going with "Yes".  They've already made that decision.

    The e14 review may just be the means to an end.  The exposure of the product on the forum may be the return on investment that they're looking for.  Otherwise... how do they get the word out?  I'm sure that the manufacturer would be interested in hearing other ideas and methods.
