Over the last couple of years (well, since the A700), Cgarrard has grown to become quite bitter about the entire Alpha range. Granted, we all have our issues with Sony, but he has taken it to another level which is irresponsible IMO and very abusive to the readers of the site, which is why I quit his site some time ago. After this, I suspect I won’t be the only one.
Yes, please delete this link, its just an attempt to get attention from a bitter former Sony fan. He must not have much else to do other than rag on Sony cameras, poor guy must live in a really boring place or have permanent photographers block.
He’s just an angry and ego-driven dude who spends countless hours every day on the dpreview forums. Wow, he’s got a website — an $8 domain registration and some free blogging software and you can too.
since Carl is now longer on Sony’s A list he has become a real hater.
he still wants you to think he has “inside” information though…. like i got a secret but i wont tell,,,,,,,,nananana booboo
i remember when he was still “joined at the hip” with Sony when the rumors of the A900 were floating around he swore up and down that there was no way it would be called the A900 but something else.taken from his Sony “insider”
and the April fools joke about the A7xx,,,never to be taken seriously again by me
shame really..he is quite a knowledgeable guy but wasted on his childish antics
I really do wish Carl would change his doom and gloom outlook, I want the Alpha line to be a success and for everything to share in that, but the guy is seems so anti sony, he should be a writer for DPR.
Grow up admin 🙂 Carl’s cryptic riddles are boring. And he is pretty vindictive. Note how he posted several mirrorless reviewers after Nex was launched. That says a lot about his spiteful personality.
And about the whole alpha line: I don’t know about the prices in your countries, but in mine the are not low, and the other offerings are simply better!
I speak as a former Sony Alpha user who’s now using Pentax…
Wow you are hateful. I see people like you on forums and wonder what it must be like to carry that much hatred around. Seems very simple from what I gathered, mistake that he even explained in detail. And what cohones you have to tell the Admin of this site to grow up.
That’s sad.. I think I did go to that site a while ago.. He should be making a new blog site instead of using ‘alphamountworld’ to promote non A-mount 🙁
Carl’s just flailing around on his site and dpreview these days, slagging the quality and sales of NEXes, finding fault wherever he can. To me he’s just as obnoxious a nonstop Sony slagger as he was as a nonstop Sony booster ever since he started bombarding dpreview with countless R1-related posts and defenses back in 2006.

Yuck. Why give that guy a free web link? He isn’t working on anything. It’s just another joke by him to get web traffic. Delete this link.
That, or he is stating his disdain for the Sony DSLR franchise, which is no secret to anyone who shares an interest in the Alpha range.
Cgarrard is like The Riddler from Batman. He only speak in cryptic riddles.

Unfortunately Carl has lost his way. I do not visit his site anymore as he has zero credibility the way he mouths off on online forums.
At risk to go against all of you. I like Carl 🙂
Carl doesn’t know any more than anyone else. Now he’s just bitter that no one believes his “insider” BS anymore.

I agree with admin, like Carl too!

Carl, is that you? Talking to youself again?
Ironic a dude with a website “alphamountworld” and does not write nothing on alphas…
wastefulness to read such website
mataaz, you need some sense of humor. And Carl will remain a nut in my opinion.
wow, it’s not just me, lol.
