Originally posted by panoguy Sometimes it's hilarious to see the the insecurity of some "Pentaxians" that comes out with the venom toward a review site that looks at the whole camera market reality, and not just their "chosen brand." Oftentimes, though, it's just sad.
So, let's see if I have this right. The best solution to a problem is...ignore it?
Do you realize you're posting and reading on a forum that was created for the exact reasons I've stated? Because of the treatment of their 'chosen brand' and their loyalty, they were banned or ostracized. Is that 'sad'? No, what's sad is denial in the face of facts. Have you read any other posts on this thread?.
Maybe it will be my insecurity that causes them to rate the K-3 with a 81%, because, ya' know, it's not a Nikon or Canon. Nowhere near a D7100 or 70D in features, performance, value or quality.
You say we have a chosen brand. Well, that's true. But none of us has overall administrative control of a world-wide forum to spread our (right or wrong) opinions, do we? What happens if a multi-brand FORUM has a chosen brand or two? A favorite? Anyone who points that out, according to you, is sad and insecure. Because...what? The forum is right, so we must be wrong. Good thinking.
Continue to ignore the reality. It's worked so far.
I don't need validation from DPR. I want fairness and unbiased reviews. Equality.
Those who understand the problem, address it. All others, please get out of the way, maybe go take some pictures.
