Why so many hate Sony?

That's good. I didn't intend there to be specifics.

This was my impression based on many things I saw and heard. You don't need to know 'how many person expressed' that. Anyone could see how the cameras were represented in what was on the dealer tables.

Because OP is right, there is a (partially earned) bias against Sony among many photography types. Even among the 'secondary' brands like Pentax, Olympus, Panasonic, etc. Or have you been missing the Pentax fanboy trolling of this forum?

What's with the attitude?

Says me, obviously... And so says most PS game console owners (read a forum). I've been in the software and graphics industry since 1990 and have seen Sony's moves in front of and behind the PR curtain. Sony has a reputation for making moves based on marketing and money rather than consumer benefit (see the history of Memory Stick and its sequel, the PSVita card to name one example).

Google Sony and Memory Stick, PSP marketing, PSVita marketing, PS3 revisions, PS3 compatibility, PS3 consumer satisfaction, Playstation Network problems, CLIE API release, CLIE support, Sony legacy support, Backward Compatibility, etc.
