Let me say first that I really like DPreview for their reviews and useful forum. But I have been a bit surprised to see our Czech manual leak rumor on their website. As long as I know they were always against the publishing of rumors or leaks.
Just a note, I spent a couple of hours and many of our readers made a nice job trying to find the links to the Czech manual and the login data. I think they could have posted a link to our articles (as other websites did). Hey, I also did many mistakes in the past and I know it’s sometimes very difficult to link back to the right source. But I take the chance to remind you that it would be nice if you post a link back to us when you take the info we posted here first on SAR. It helps us to keep the website growing and to get even more rumors and news.
Thanks! And greetings to the Dpreview team 😉

You still read DPreview? You fail! 😉
This message should it be public?
Well, DPR says this link was published, and it is not a rumor. Not really willing to defend DPR, but how do you know, they learned about it on your site?
I am not 100% sure but…if you see the chats inside their forum sonyalpharumors is mentioned as source.
They’ve always been critical of companies wanting them to sign the embargo while leaking info here and there.
but the forum was faster than you. why should they link to your side?
Really? Their post do start with the link to SonyAlphaRumors 🙂
sometimes they aren’t. Do some look before you state something.
Hi IHUR! Here is the link:

you got company!
I know,my reply was for steven
Uhm well, it’s right DP should’ve mentioned the source. BUT I don’t get why login data and a manual published on a website are called a “rumor”. It’s pure facts, isn’t it? As much fact as a real, not yet introduced camera is not a rumor once spotted, but an evidence of fact.
Yes, it’s a leak more than a rumor.
Hmm.. not thought they would “forget” to mention the source anywhere …
You do a great job here! On literally any site I find rumors about the NEX, SonyAlphaRumors is mentioned as source. 🙂 Even in german Blogs (like here: http://bit.ly/ioJ95T ). So, thank you for your work! I’m really happy to hear new, cheap lenses for the NEX-system are coming.
I think you’ve been too kind with them 🙂
They clearly should give credit to SAR in their news article.
While this is more a leak than a rumor, I’ve never read this kind of news on DPR, so I agree that it’s some kind of surprise.
Frankly, they probably don’t like all the traffic the rumors sites take away from their main page.
They posted the Nikon 50mm f1.8 release right after it appeared on Nikon rumors and then noted that it had been taken down.
DPR is awful, they have a ton of inaccurate info on their site. I have written them at least a half dozen times about incorrect info like price and specs, and then later saw they corrected them. Did they mention that a user pointed out a huge mistake like being off the price of a camera or accessory but a few hundred dollars? Of course not, DPR sucks, the first poster is right, if your read DPR then you = FAIL!!!
I’m starting to regret using my initials for a screen name…
Anyway, no affiliation with DPR, but I’d like to say that I think you do a great job here and this is the first site I visit when I want to know what’s going on with Sony.
I also think you handled this situation very gracefully, so once again, well done! 🙂
Thanks!
Dpreview is probably to deeply involved with the big companies and that’s why they are reluctant to post leaks. I understand this.
Could be a reaosn why they didn’t mention us a source. But as I sai. I could be worng and they may have their own source…
It’s only right and proper they throw a link to the source–otherwise, websites like this just cease to operate.
Would somebody please get on the stick, find someone who speaks Polish, and get them to translate the gist of the document, and then post? Am I the only one who’s curious about the C-3 specs?
I believe many of us have been waiting months for this!
Please?
My wife is from Poland, she will traslate it tonight, just post the link for me.
Dp review is amazon.com. Nothing more, nothing less. Lol.
