I've never seen anyone on this forum bash someone for having a Sony camera. I don't know where you got that.
Oh really?????????????????
You must have missed it.
Here's one.
That makes no sense at all. PC's do not change focus based on how good they are how powerful they are if that was the case there would be a crap load of mixed results in Photography class and online. My Images are just as sharp on my PC as they are on a PC That's over 15 years old and running windows 95, so so much for that theory. Sony has a history for less than stellar focus I guess nobody but Sony has a good enough PC for them then. That's fine though, Sony can keep em.
The above is obviously not true, with exception to PC's changing focus.
Here are the reasons why.
There ARE a crap load of mixed results when people critique focus. Why, some may ask?
You're looking at a 4 meg file, blown up on a monitor, at the click of a mouse, from less than 2 feet away.
This should make sense, but if it doesn't please overlook it.
Number 2:
On the world wide web, , roughly 35 out of every 100 people have 20/20 vision. Even if that vision is corrected, it will still not be 100% of 20/20.
It will be close, with variances.

There is an old saying.
She looks good from far, but far from good.
Number 3:
Lenses.
The quoted never mentions anything about lenses and is quick to put blame on the camera body.
I'm a rookie amateur. The photo on this thread was shot with a 14 year old Sigma 28-70mm-f2.8.
Imagine a new Ziess lens.
Number 4:
Yes, your viewing equipment DOES reflect what your eyes see, and if that equipment is not up to par, you CERTAINLY ARE missing something in today's age of DSLR's ( all of them). Fact.
And here's another for you.
Than again, alot of cameras look more appealing when you've got an A550, especially once you start handling them.
I don't want to sound mean but it's true. As a salesperson i see this all the time, sony just makes cheap (in the bad way) stuff. People come in and it goes something like this:
"hey can i check out the Sony A330?"
hands them said camera
"can I also see the D3000?"
hands them said camera
"Wow, the Nikon feels alot sturdier, why is that?"
ALL of the sony's, even the A900, feel like hollow plastic fisher-price toys compared to Nikon, Canon, Olympus, and Pentax. They even sound like their going to fall apart.
Here again. This is FALSE.
I handled the Nikon D5000, the Canon T1I and a few others.
They all felt about the same.
Oh and the A900 too, and trust me when I tell you it does not feel cheap.
They all feel like toys.
BECAUSE THEY ARE.
They're big boy toys. They aint cheap and they're fun.
