Originally posted by Rondec I do think it is hard when reviewers go into a review assuming (1) The time of SLRs is past and (2) The particular brand you shoot is likely to meet its demise soon. Even if they grudgingly admit that the camera is nice or a lens is nice, they are bound to stick in a little bit about how much nicer the mirrorless landscape is.
I don't like those assumptions either, and yes, they irritate me and no, I'm not being an apologist for DPR, but I do think it's better to assume good faith and react when that trust is undeniably broken than to assume bad faith and act accordingly.
And yes, ClassA is polite and sticks to facts - I don't actually think that any of the people I recognise from PF are exacerbating the problems there with their comments - my intention is just a general comment that for better or worse many people judge a brand by its users and we can help the brand(s) we like by remembering that.
