I'm a huge huge fan of Frank's work starting from his Kelby training series, and following his blog and online videos.

He might be just one pro we know of but how anyone can make stupid remarks like "No pro's shoot Sony" or the "a99 isn't a pro camera" is beyond me. Those were baseless comments to make in the first place that wouldn't hold a candle in a structured argument.

How about I make a sweeping generalization like "Pros are switching to the a99!"? It's about as baseless at the counter argument but paints a certain perspective doesn't it?

As for the a99 owners and Sony shooters I hope Frank's numerous reviews over the past few weeks have given some form of confidence in the sensors abilities.

First, nobody claims that there are no pros shooting Sony. It is just that there are not as many as those shooting with other systems. Secondly, what does Frank's liking or disliking of the a99 to deal with you? I know you like it because he has boughty Sony gear, so does that mean that if tomorrow if he says something negative about the camera, you will feel less? I think we put too much weight on what others think or do. If I Buy Sony today, would you really know what my motives are even if I tell you why? What is most important is whether you as an individual like it or not because you will be the one using it. If it sucks for you , it does not matter whether Frank likes it or not and vice versa.
