When Reviews Should Focus More on Workflow Than Image Quality
Image quality matters, but some of the most useful review insights come from how gear behaves over a normal week of use.

A review can be technically accurate and still not be very useful.
Why workflow matters
People live with gear, not just test charts.
That is why reviews should also care about:
- setup friction
- carry burden
- battery behavior
- how often the tool actually gets used
Those details often decide whether the product is a good fit.
The bottom line
Image quality is important, but workflow usually decides whether the gear remains valuable after the first week.
