DSLRS

They could offer a drop in filter tube for rf too if people are keen on that.

they couldn't really. how would it work without increasing the registration distance. increasing the registration distance by adding a "tube" would make it so that you couldn't AF to infinity. it would be improbable that they could do it with a 20mm registration distance from the sensor.

New 50mm.. only for new eos r

That wow 24-70 f2.. only for new eos r

I dont think there will be ef refreshes matching these

I have a master's in business administration with a specialty in marketing. From a business standpoint, Canon isn't going to abandon the part of the market where it has the far majority of sales in DSLR cameras and EF lenses. That's just nonsense and one mirrorless camera isn't going to change much, particularly if it turns out to be just be a 6d II equivalent. 2nd, while those two lenses are great, they are some of the only L lenses that can justifiably be upgraded. All of Canon's other EF are from an optical standpoint pretty much perfect and won't see upgrades for years and years. There are also just too many users with ef lenses and dslrs that make up Canon's ecosystem to ignore them and their profit regrowth potential. And lastly, how many of them are even going to feel inclined to to buy a mirrorless camera and use an adapter for their lenses or sell any of them when the benefits are only marginal? I still know photos who use 7D and 1DX III bodies and get along just fine.

Who says there won't be an adapter for them to be used on EF mounts, or if they natively will be compatible? More than likely in the next decade mirrorless will just be another variety of camera than Canon offers with DSLRs.

At this point, two things are clear to me. 1) You are clearly a troll. 2) why didn't the mods just delete this absurd thread?

Auto-loading pistols have not caused the death of revolvers.

Case-less ammunition has not cased the death of metal-cased cartridge ammunition.

Electric vehicles have not caused the death of internal-combustion-engine vehicles.

Jet airplanes have not caused the death of piston-engine airplanes.

Eight-track tapes did not cause the death of vinyl records.

Cassette tapes did not cause the death of viny records.

This is six quick examples of the “old” technology continuing, in spite of the newer technology. In half of the above examples, the newer technology ascended, for a time, then declined into insignificance, while the old technology remained extant. The other half are examples of the newer technology co-existing with the old, with each having a stable place in the market.

The “flapping mirror” may be with us, indefinitely. ;-)

This being a photography forum, I will not debate each of the above non-photographic examples individually, in detail. My point is that the DSLR’s mirror is a way of accomplishing a goal. Mirror-less is a way of accomplishing a goal. The market will determine what remains in production.

When the improvement is significant, the change can happen very quickly.

For commercial airliners, Piston engines were replaced by jets about 5 years after the 707 first commercial flight

But the Boeing 707 came nine years after the de Havilland Comet.

The last FD camera was release 5 years after EF was released.

I actually think we are at a tipping point in electronics processing power and sensor development that we could we the end of EF development within 5 years.

Ok true

No trolling here..

Getting rid of ef is easier than ever...there is the adapter - old stuff is compatible with the new r.

Existing lenses are good enough to make existing owners happy before they think about needing an upgrade.

Nevertheless for the ecosystem this means existing customers will loose money because the stuff is moving towards legacy

Vinyl has enjoyed a comeback in recent years thanks mostly to hipsters. It never really went away, remaining a very niche market with diehards. It will never, however, regain the market it once had. Cassettes and 8-tracks are dead, as are laserdiscs so old tech can eventually succomb. I don't see DSLRs going anywhere for some time, though.

I thought the EF-S sand EF-M mounts ended EF.

Different tools for different jobs.

Look at Sony - they have different mirrorless tools for different jobs A9, A7 r, ..

Seeing as the EF Mount is over 30 years old already, my guess is 19 years to make it an even 50 years. What does you magic 8-ball say about that?

You’re sure it wasn’t the FE mount? At least I seem to recall people saying that...

Not even close. The EF-S mount was still completely compatible with EF. The only difference it made in the image is the crop factor; because of the smaller sensor, it gave a FOV equivalent that was narrower, but EF and EF-compatible lenses mounted and performed just fine.

EF-M was still a cropped sensor, so it meant nothing for the FF EF mount.

For as long as Nikon will support the now obviously dying F mount System!

Let's revisit in a year or two - you can let us know how you think it worked out

By 2020 dslr will be dead

Will do Champ!

I think they'll probably only support the mount for about four more days. Then they'll pull their remaining stock off the shelves and dispose of them. So by Friday, we'll just have to live with mirrorless speculation.
