Well said and thats what my takeaway was. It was just unprofessional and sounded like he knew very little of the unit itself and the supporting images really do not speak of the cameras abilities either. The word I keep going back to is Integrity , you want to be a review person you have to show integrity . Like something or not thats okay but never talk down to people and never give bad data.I think he raises some valid points, and I have absolutely no problem with that. I also have no problem with the fact he doesn't "connect" with the camera, I think we all have experienced that with some camera's we have owned.
However the way he is doing it as well as his incomplete knowledge of the camera and its options undermines his credibility.
He talks about how Sony fanboys shouldn't read it because they might not like his conclusions. I think that's a very unprofessional (and childish) thing to say for a professional photographer and reviewer.
And I said I will stay out of this and I should. But I hope folks understand where I am coming from as a user,a Pro that uses it, a forum owner and someone that truly cares about the industry. It does get frustrating for me but Im fine and getting ready for a gig tomorrow and packing everything up. Lets see if this thing can come home with the goods, I have no doubt it will.
BTW no offense to Ming or any of the other reviewers( I actually like Mings reports normally). Im just being critical
