Let the bashing begin.
Having watched, and occasionally been a part of all of the Nikon and Canon product releases over the last several years, one thing you need to remember is that EVERY idiot on the street believes that they should make a camera that is 100% tailored to their every whim. There will always be people that expect more, there will always be people that say that it\'s not good because \"insert random criteria here\". If you listen to the noise coming from early reviewers when they post 50\'000 ISO shots of their cat you will 100% NEVER be satisfied with a new camera product...so ignore it all. They\'re all a bunch of biters who had nothing better to do with a brand new camera than take pictures of their cat...do you think that defines your place in the market? Wait for the shots to come in from the people that didn\'t care about a video of the unboxing, didn\'t care about some useless shot of something that nobody gives a shit about, and unboxed the camera and immediately put it to work. THOSE are the reviews that matter. People that see the camera for what it is, a tool to get the job done.
That\'s my 0.02 as someone that pre-ordered and enjoyed both of my last two purchases.
I find it all quite funny. You pop over to DPreview, see some guy who has never shot a DSLR before take a horribly unexposed, out of focus, ISO 50K shot of his cat and people reply to him and are like \"oh wow, thanks for posting - I just canceled my preorder\" . Next up are the threads on the Canon forums, linking to said \'test images\', while they pat each other on the back. It\'s the exact same thing, every single release - thankfully FM is free of most of that nonsense.
Amateur controlled test shots I don\'t mind as much, as long as you know what you\'re looking at, you can get a rough idea of certain parameters.
I also enjoy the comments that it should have been full frame, because Nikon should be selling the D5 for $1999 (don\'t get me wrong I\'d buy one too haha).
