Who don't get anxious to play with a new toy after receiving it? This is exactly what happened.

It's a very good video.

Now he will have plenty of time to RTFM.

Exactly so! There are people that do highly researched reviews in depth where they run you through all the features in a very rehearsed manner. That kind of depth requires understandably a good deal of prep and research. Obviously, one can't be very prolific doing that. They also tend to be boring for general subscribers not highly interested in the particular product under review that day.

Dave Jones's shtick is that he is kinda hyper, excited, and ebullient, but knows his stuff and is extremely candid with his opinions on things, having high standards for all: concept, design, build, and value. People send him all kinds of stuff to look at, try out, and tear into. To see him *glow* as much as he did over something that cost ≈$US200 is pretty astounding.

He has 600,000 subscribers and has put out over 1,400 videos dating back 9 years. He's doing something right. The way some of you guys would like him to do the videos, he'd have 1% of the subscribers and videos. I think he knows what he is doing, even if he makes a mistake now and then (the videos often get some subtitles added later to correct errors he made or add additional information).

Relax, everyone. It's a really good review.
