Rishi is very low on people skills... and rather high on arrogance. Interesting combination. But when you see that you can counter for it.. or at least ignore it knowing it is what it is.
But the review on the whole seemed fairly accurate to me... albeit I think they reached far for some of the 'what we dont like' in certain sections.
For instance, they don't like that there aren't more modern lenses for it... yet then complain there aren't enough compact lenses for it. Uhmmm... most modern FF lenses are not exactly what I'd consider compact. So I'm not sure DPRs angle there.
But that is not really a major situation.. most of the 'what we dont like' I didn't like either.
I think the issue is, a review site took the current flagship K mount body and put it through the ringer.. and there are a lot of emotions triggered here about that. When you have a relationship with a brand, it becomes a troublesome situation when that relationship is reviewed actively and potentially negatively.
DPR also seems to review with their baseline expectations to be a more all-purpose type camera. They are entirely judging on not the design and function of the camera as the manufacturer envisioned it, but on some all-purpose multi-functional view of what they expect in 2018 (time of this review) for a camera in that price range. So I can understand why they'd be disappointed..
