Camera status rating
Posted: Fri Sep 13, 2013 4:31 pm
I'm not imagining this, but after reading many reviews over the last couple of years on the A57 A35/7 A65 and other camera makes, a trend has appeared from certain review sites.
At least 3 review sites seem to be openly biased towards Canikon and Pentax and rate the A57 as entry level as they did for the A35/7. The A65 was only upper entry level whilst Canikon and Pentax equivalents got higher status.
Other review sites with more balanced views rated the A35/7 as entry level and the A57 as enthusiasts level with the A65 upper enthusiasts level.
If you want to do a brand down give it lower status.
A lot of this goes on with review sites depending on which product is high on their list of favourites.
This is also very much backed up by the scores they give.
Just to even things out, there are quite a few sites which are not biased.
