          They didn't even mention samsung or bash on anyone.

          And all that can be seen is multiple different sony fans replying not only to bring samsung up themselves but also be bashing on them for no reason.

          Oh wait. That's the same as any other sony page

                    "The electronic shutter also shoots up to 1/32000 seconds, which is much slower than what is capable with a mechanical shutter"
                    It is actually 4 times as fast as the best DSLRs...

                      But will it suffer from overheating and battery drain issues?

                                Wow, I love that camera, but I will still use my phone for photos. :)

                                  At $4,500, this camera is for anyone who takes photos for a living and also rich people who wants to use the features of this camera to take photos.
                                  I am just a salaryman getting by simply.

                                    You could have been rich to want to buy this camera for selfies?? $4500 camera for selfies, look around and then think of alternatives and I have sure you will benefit from my advice.

This camera is for pure photography enthusiasts and not for those who bring insult/injustice to them for just taking selfies.

And I do agree that their set-up has been over complicated, but they have refreshed and improved alot the last year and obviously are trying to better the experience further. But what you say about the industry awareness are baffling for me, and imo is completely false claim. One thing I agree with is that their tech is their definitive strongest side. Their camera technology is top notch, one reason nikon uses alot of Sony sensors, in my opinion so y and nikon are the best of image quality and functions, but canon has a way better aand easyer software, so do understand that most people go for them, even though they lack on performance, the difference is negligible and almost only pros will see the difference, Sony and nikon is getting better on the software, but there is still a way to go to get to the likes of canon.
