Everything online surrounding this camera just feels very weird. I pre-ordered the camera six days ago and have been scouring YouTube daily for videos about it. Just like in all the photography forums, most of the videos highlight the same "faults" (no tilt screen, no IBIS, no full-size battery).
The things I see over and over that are weird are the first thing the early videos wanted to stress was the "feel" of the camera. Some negative and some positive. The people who actually have the camera in-hand all seem to have excuses as to why they haven't gone out and shot with it yet, but they have no problem taking the time to chat about it.
The majority of the videos are not from the usual influencers or reviewers, but from people I've rarely watched or never heard of before. It just all feels bizarre, like the release of information and proper reviews is being intentionally reserved, controlled.
Is it just me?
Really feels like an internal political battle between product and marketing - e.g. Sony marketing must either not have wanted this camera or unhappy they were informed about it last minute so the campaigns seem half hearted and borderline intentional sabotaging
