Re: criticism of the rx1 is not an issue

i've heard it all before, especially being a pentax dslr and leica m9 owner. autofocus issues were big when i first got into pentax and lens alignment and color shift issues were very much discussed re leica.

what i find unacceptable is the way criticism of the rx1 devolves into personal attacks on various individuals and the very trollish commentary offered in several threads to the effect that rx1 owners know nothing about photography and that's why new owners were seeing problems. well some, like me, are really not technically or artistically adept. but it's clear there are others who know quite a bit not only about theory, but also about technical issues re sensors and lenses, as well as how to post-process, and who are sticking with the rx1.

all criticism of the camera is just that. everyone has to make choices and i don't mind reading the criticism because it does help people make choices. but personal attacks are way over the top and just downright disgusting.

Personally I could care less what others think of any camera I buy, it is my choice and nobody else's business. There are silly immature folks just about everywhere and the loudest ones are usually the ones who don't have the camera they are bitching about.I think the most irritable thing in here or any other forum for that matter  is when someone criticizes someone else just because they paid a large some of money for a camera and that we are not even a pro. It is none of their business, who says you have to be a race car driver to own a hot rod, a Vet or a Maserati, if you have the funds and its what you desire, then so be it, why is it any one else's business. I am no pro and I can afford high end cameras,and  so what, where is the problem, there is no problem other than some loud mouths who's life is only photography and that have to get their 2 cents of condescending nonsense in. Also I have visited other forums where they think they are all it, there is much more nonsense in those forums than here, this is a pretty tame forum. I enjoy this forum very much, there are many decent folks in here. I also haven't really seen much negativity from the RX100 owners in here, I think we get along pretty well.   WC
