Fantastic post.  Well said.

Hard to imagine a more ridiculous idea.  Tape up your LCD if you dont like it.  Better yet, paint over it. It's not hard to do, if you REALLY want such a thing.

The mirrorless crowd is firmly convinced that SLR's are dying today, despite no evidence of any kind to support such a statement.

Olympus, Panasonic, and Fujifilm are shedding millions of dollars each year, year after year, not earning ANY profit. Sure makes mirrorless look good doesnt it?   Now exactly WHY would anyone want...

Wow....such brazen delusions are awesome to behold.  Did you not read Hogan's actual text?

Yes, choice is good.  Some of the more religious here somehow think my post is somehow against mirrorless cameras.  That's humorous because for the past 3 years, I have shot almost exclusively...

I've never gotten anything in under 1 month from China post.  2 months is more than usual.

LOL!!   Try China Post.  You'll be lucky to get stuff in a month or two. USPS worst in the world?  You are delusional.

Same thing happened with Fujifilm's SLR's.  The S5 Pro sold for $1999 when in production.  After being "silently" discontinued, they had a blow out sale of $899.  The stampede to get one was...

A banner year and yet Fujifilm and Olympus lost substantial money with their camera divisions. Sony at best was near break even.  Meanwhile Canon and Nikon keep on making money with their cameras.

Spot on Mark.  You have a clear mind, unhindered by fanatical thinking.

Oly and Panny arent shipping anywhere near the amount of lenses as Nikon and Canon.  Yet it is DSLR's that are dying.

The question that should have been asked to Ricoh is WHERE can I buy a GXR?  The distribution channel has all dried up.  Ricoh's marketing sock puppet would then have to get real with an answer and...

By far the most common cameras seen by me at high traffic tourist locations are SLR's and cameras.  There is very little in-between.  Compacts are disappearing at a frightening rate and mirrorless...

You are quite hysterical.  I suggest you find more pleasant pastures.  This is a discussion forum and when new news gets published, it tends to get discussed.  It is clear to one and all that you...

No religious zealots scare me. I shoot two mirrorless cameras, Fuji X100 (recently mothballed) and Sigma DP2M.

Thom Hogan's recent post on the latest camera sales numbers show a substantial decline in mirrorless sales as well as production.   It is going to get harder and hard and harder for the mirrorless...

LOL! "The production number for mirrorless in April was only 58.7% of last year, while the production number for DSLRs was 102.5% of last year. In other words, the DSLR camera makers are still...

These numbers expose mirrorless as the fraud it is.  Not even close to overtaking SLR's as we are constantly told.

I agree totally with this.  Nikon's A could fail completely and it would not affect Nikon's future at all. Should the Ricoh GR fail, one could easily see Ricoh folding up their camera division.
