No more 'where is the review' moans, please

True, the tone was a bit harsh, but 5 emails x how many forums a
day can become quite annoying, especially if he has to reply to
every one of them. Maybe a similar message should be posted in all
forums to balance things out a bit.
His frustration is perhaps understandable but his method of handling is not, in my opinion. If he receives five annoying emails per day, that tells me that the majority of the people on this forum are NOT sending him those types of emails, so why broadcast an angry message to everyone? We could each use some civility, and that includes Phil too. As far as him doing us all a favor, I think he is running a business, and users of these forums contribute to his success by making the site as active as it is, and therefore attractive to his advertisers.
 
I completely disagree.
Sheesh.......some people.............
I'm just noticing the "tone" of Phils post. He used expressions
like "no more", "moan", "do not", like he's doing us a big favor.
And I say again: his favor is no more important than our "favor"
when thousands of us visit and contribute to the site.

All this for just 5 stinky "moaning" emails every day?!?

Bye,
Cirruz
look dude! you are present on this forum for the past two months. in other words you might not know how this forum used to be 3 months ago.

those 5 stinky emails you,dear friend are talking about is at least 50 idiotique post on forums like this on dpreview weekly,about demands to Phil or Simon to REVIEW a camera. you are not the only one. and since you are here only for the past two months, I will not accept from you these words, and I will not agree with you.

I really don't care about you're ideas about paying for this service, for sure In the past ten months I never had to pay a penny TO DPREVIEW...
best regards
tom
 
Now I can stop looking for it,and wait till it comes out.

Take all the time you need Phil, they are a lot of people out here that have complaints about this camera. I went ahead and purchased the 400xti and now own the Canon 300d also, on the reputation of its maker. No complaints from me.
And thanks again for this forum!
 
Tom,

Let's not "hate" anyone. I may find the "glass is half empty" crowd a bit on the annoying side also, nut hate is too strong a word 99% of the times it's used.

Maybe you will agree we saythis to our annoying friend: "We fart in your general direction if you have no patience for Phils effort"

Yes, I feel quite good about that.

by the way! I've got the black one (300,350 or the 400, I can't even recall)

so my kit lens is a great copy... it focuses a bit to the upper left corner, but it might be me.

anyway ,you'll see in Phil's review what I'm talking about.I only hope that Phil won't review the silver one without the grip...
;))

Precisely the reason I bought myself a Pro1 a few years ago,
because of the reviews on this site.
Would this be a bad time to ask about that new Sigma 18-50? ;-)
or the zeiss apo sonar 1700?
;))

Your reviews are objective, honest and help people decide on what
make / type they should invest their money on.

Phil,

Let me just say that this is one of my favorite sites.

Thank you for providing such a wonderful resource and not charing us a cent to use it.

Because while other review sites may be faster, their reviews are worthless in comparison. I patiently await it to be done right, not rushed.
 
Great work Phil,
Will you review a black one or a silver one?
 
The people complaining about the time it is taking for a 400D review are ungrateful, selfish, stupid people who don't appreciate how much time it takes to put out a quality technical review of a complex modern digital camera.

That said,

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH

WHERE'S THAT DARN 400D REVIEW?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
WATCHING THE PLAYOFFS?????

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH
 
I am sure it must seem like dealing with kindergarteners sometimes, but of course the reason people are impatient for your reviews is because we all put so much stock in the depth and clear logic you put into your work! :) Keep up the great work, and take all the time you need. We'll all still be here! ;)
Best regards,
Mark
 
I currently have his 1DSmkII shot of Tower Bridge as my wallpaper. Both screens.

(Hiope you don't mind, Phil
