Real A99 user vs the trolls

Sounds like you are taking personal offense at a comment where I didn't point any one person out. Maybe you are projecting?

You read too far into my comment.  It was observational only of what I have noticed when the forum was filled with rumors of an A900 replacement, what the opinions were then, and how quickly those opinions have suddenly changed (some by the same people) now that the camera is out.  First people don't want video, now people do.  People didn't want an EVF, now they can't take pictures without one.  I just found it interesting how quickly these views change.  It was the same with the A700 and A77.

My suggestion is to just back off and take a few breaths before feeling you need to harp on everyone else that has an opinion, or in this case, an observation from their perspective. I've been on this form for quite a while now, not including when I used to lurk around the forums before creating a username (not including other forums). I have seen people come and go as well as have seen how people say one thing just to change their opinion later. This would be the case with the EVF/OVF and video in our photo cameras.

There are more than two groups, that is true. But those few who complain, and complain loudly, are the ones that get noticed. Those that get noticed are the ones people tend view as the majority, which is not true. In actuality, those that have the highest satisfaction in their purchase are probably saying the least. Sadly, this means that the satisfaction rating of said products probably don't get any true justification because a lot of the noise is coming from the complainers whereas the happy owners have little to nothing to say and are, instead, out and about using their purchased item with a smile on their face.
