Good review. Let's hope Canon listens to appreciative users and people who have actually had the camera in their hands and not just sites that consistently downplay some of their more interesting developments.

I found DPR reviews are generally a lot more reliable than most users reviews

Ownership makes people biased, giving very positive reviews

Lack of ownership makes them ignorant of what it's like to use the camera.

It should be obvious.

I've never had a problem saying a camera I owned is garbage when that is the case. If you do, it says more about you than anyone else.

I didn't like the Fuji X10, the Canon XL2 video camera, the Sony A7R MkII, or even much the RX100, all of which I owned. Don't assume everyone else responds the way you do. They don't.
