What is the reputation of the Geneva Bible and Tyndale's translation? Just curious to know everyone's opinion. [updown]

Bandit has no opinion. And if he did have an opinion, it would probably be wrong. But from what Bandit thinks he remembers reading, both were based upon the same original latin text (Textus Receptus?) as the King James, and both were supposedly accurate and respected translations. But then again, Bandit is no textural scholar and he has no opinion - and if he did, he would probably be wrong.
