Again you're projecting on others what you have done since your entry to these boards. I have said it before but your mirror is still missing. For example, I remember you ridiculing me and my...

The question is, how important is that to the average consumer, unless invested financially with the idea to make a profit? The point is that those interested in the technology, were fed with...

Took you longer than expected to enter your usual straw man. The essence was about existence, longevity and in the end...support. They supported both Minidisc and Betamax for exactly as long as I...

Formerly known as Ken_5D by any chance? ;) Welcome back to the boards and enjoy the journey with the new A77.

I mentioned the amount of years that Sony officially had players in production/listed. Not how long they are gone. ;)

Yes way. The last Sony player was sold until march this year and they were introduced in 1992.  Wrong. It was used in studios for quite some time and also realize that Betacam was directly derived...

Read again. Notice the word "complete", which I referred to since you used it. There is no complete overlap, I never said there is no overlap. Then how can you say they are going to completely...

Bold statement since: Currently there is no complete overlap at all. Not even close. There are only rumors as to where the A mount design is heading, no facts. And assumptions are built on...

Lived for about 27 years.

Again overly simplistic. It depends on how much overlap there is, how much selling Y causes opportunity costs, how those costs are weighed, how they value the halo effects of product Y etc....

A non sequitur. Just because X sells more than Y, that doesn't mean Y is losing money. By that token, there wouldn't be any FF cameras for example. Or closer to "home", an RX1 alongside the RX100...

I see them all over the place here. *shrug* That's not news, that's all rumors. 4 E mount lenses, 3 A mount lenses this year. A mount lens release isn't slower than say the past 5 years.

Agreed. I have long called it an attempt at self-fulfilling prophecy. The only question remains, is whether it's consciously or subconsciously.

And both stories have a smell to them. ;)

You're making stuff up. Turning whipped cream into cake without anything else. Fluff. The CIPA worldwide sales statistics from this year, show that both mirrorless and DSLR sales are down too. For...

And as for printing, any modern DSLR at 16 MP or above would require resampling to display an uncropped scene on your printer at a regular 4x6 print.
Very few people use a variable PPI anyway (a...

You don't seem to understand what I just said. Only if you zoom to 100%, you can bypass scaling. Showing the full (scene of the) picture on a monitor, involves automatic scaling. So in my first...

Yes, because one camera per mount really builds a system that people would faithfully invest in. ;-)
