I fear that Canon is becoming the "K-mart" of camera makers. Especially after seeing the specs of the Sony A7III against the 6D2 with both being in the same price range.

The thing is, it seems they are able to get away with it - in the UK, where I am, a huge proportion the general population will buy any Canon in preference to any other brand simply because it's a Canon - even if they know little about cameras. There is therefore little stimulus for Canon to innovate further (which clearly they could do, looking at that new flash gun).  In a way, perhaps that's for the best because if they did, given their control of the market at present, many smaller, more innovative brands would probably disappear as they might lose the level of sales they currently have, which would be a tragedy for those companies, their employees and (maybe to a lesser extent) the users of their products who enjoy them.  It would be a shame to lose choice in the market and it is one of the things that drives progress.
