A professional camera should be a ‘full format’ camera. This will

Yeah, saw that too.
What a sad joke that mag is...

On-line magazines don't really need any editorial control. In the good
old days of hot metal everything got read by several other people. Even
with photo-litho there were more hands involved than now.

I find *some* of the stuff in dpreview quite good.

I believe the editorial failure here is with the "Brides Magazine" rather
than DPreview. They are the publication which has a problem differentiating
between a cannon and a Canon. Their wedding photography recommendations are
mired in arrogant ignorance.

Well said. A bit like some usenet groups! Or, rather, some of its denizens.

Yup. Plenty of half and quarter-frame mirrorless snowflakes having
meltdowns when someone notes that most pro wedding photographers use
Nikon or Canon full-frame slrs - for very valid reasons which weren;t
clearly stated.
The article in the wedding magazine isn't too bad. The typo has been
corrected and brand references removed. Yawn.

Why would they remove the brand references if the point was salient? It was as pointless as some of these old geezer teachers in photo schools denigrating anything not Nikon or Canon, most of which the last time they used them shot film.

Because there are probably users of other brands who are pro wedding
photogs who'd be upset if they had potential clients rejecting them
because of an incorrectly worded statement.

Because the magazine expects to be paid for mentioning a brand. C'mon, Rich,
you knew that!

They don't need to directly influence the photographer, only his
customers.

Any wedding planer selecting a photographer based on the size of his/her
equipment, is like the bride making her selection of groom based on similar
criteria, which makes a strange sort of sense I guess.
